Default Electric power steering pump

Does anyone know the electrical power (amps and voltage) necessary to drive the pump as well as the rpm that the motor spins at.

Thank You

12 volts, a 60 amp fuse and some 12 gauge wire to and from the EPS control unit. It takes a lot of juice to run this thing. The EPS motor changes speed depending on engine speed and vehicle speed.

you may get 1hp extra power from chaning to EPS.. Its a waste of time and money.. EPS is nothing special..

Unless you do like the race teams do and put in an adjustable control switch on the dash to control the firmness of the steering. It is not dependant on road speed then. Expensive control switch like $500.00 but the teams seem to think it is worth it. Someone in europe is selling them. I do not have the name though.
