Can u convert the stock HPS to all EPS?

Question : Is it possible to convert an hydraulic power steering system to an all electric power steering system on a '94 lude? The following vehicles all have EPS systems (not sure of the years);

S2000
Acura NSX
Hybrid Insight
Civic Sedan

Is it possible to retrofit the EPS off one of these models (or any other EPS for that matter) onto a 4th gen lude? If so, how?

I know about solutions to relocate the PS line and swap out the PS pump with an MR2 electric pump but that's not the same as making a complete transition to a fully EPS system.

Any thoughts would be helpful.

There is a guy on here or one of the Prelude forums who is from Turkey and he swapped a Mercedes (not sure of year or model) Electric Power steering pump into his 5th gen and said the weighted feel was perfect. Just gotta search I guess

As long as it's no longer belt driven then whats the big deal? The whole point is to remove the parasitic belt driven pump from the equation right?
