EPS Conversion?

[YamaSpark]

Who has done this to Viper or 7000?
I want to know if the air box goes back in without interference.

I am near completion on my Viper. The airbox does require minor modifications in two areas: a flat on one corner (screw clearance), and a "D" shaped hole just above the flat (for eps motor power plug clearance).

So no interference with the radiator? That's great to hear! Was thinking about getting a 7000/Viper for my wife but only if I could do the PS upgrade

"Complete" is operative word. In this thread I think there is a list, but since it was issued, there have been additions/changes. The original list is pretty complete but there are changes. Also, there are templates on where to drill holes, etc. Electrical side may not be quite as clear as mechanical side. And, there are electrical wiring variations between some sled models.
VIdeos would be a huge help.

The link I shared earlier (the original list) is complete and if there are changes (part numbers) or additions, anyone can download the spreadsheet and make those changes or even make them in place. I keep a separate list in case someone screws something up. Or, if someone can point me at the changes I will update the list and turn it into a pdf for those that just want to print it out.

The Viper install is extremely easy, due to lots of room and the opening in the front of the bulkhead. I was able to mount the eps motor to the mounting plate & bracket, and lower the assembly into place. I did have to temporarily remove the sway bar however.

Great job Earthling!
Back in the day when the factories gave a s&#t, they might have done something like this to sell as a factory kit. Not any more.
This site is amazing that you guys put this together an offer it free to our members. Outstanding!

My brother-in-law is looking to add EPS to his 2023 LTX SE. Would he only need to order the OEM parts from the list that DO NOT have the X in the "Common Parts" column (and wouldn't need the jumper harnesses or related parts)?

Go to my list on the above link. He needs everything but the harness that I made.

So were it only the LTX LE models that came with EPS in 2023?

no there were other models. If you go to parts fiche you will see EP in the model. Those have eps. Like 23 LTX GT, LTX LE, SRX LE, STX GT
