One well worth a closer look is the Honda NSX set up.
Link below:
Electric Power Steering

My approach would be estimated the weight and forces on the steering wheels and find a standard production unit as close to where your calculations tell you yours should be. Then look around to get it all fitted.

ok so as i understand that system:
"The NSX system consists of a rack-and-pinion steering gear with an electric motor installed concentrically around the rack. The motor transmits its power through a recirculating ball drive mechanism to push the rack right or left."

it's an electric motor built into/around a manual steering linkage? seems like the ultimate in power savings / survivability in a catastrophic failure.

ok maybe i should point out a little more info. 94 honda civic ....
