I second that I would not go the route of replacing a mechanical hydraulic pump with an electric hydraulic pump. Honda integrates a motor into their rack, whereas Toyota integrates it into the steering column. Both use a torque sensor to adjust assist. A lot of people retrofit the Toyota system into other cars.
