hey guys. i just bought a new project to work on and been having a little trouble grasping the honda technique.

its a 93 DA with a LSVTEC. its a b18b1 block with a p72-1 head. now the trouble i'm having is the bracket for the p/s pump. i was told that a gsr L-bracket could mount on to the head but i bought one and it doesn't line up correctly. the hole is off by maybe a 1/4 inch?

i just mounted one bolt to bracket to mock it up and now the bolt connecting to the top of the pump is too short and i think i've gotta put some kind of spacer in there to let the pulley line up the p/s pump pulley.

does anyone know anything?!

PLEASE HELPP! I CAN'T STAND DRIVING WITHOUT P/S!!
thanks!

 

The bracket you bought isn't for a GSR then. That sounds like an LS power steering bracket...

If the bolt holes are perfectly straight across from eachother then it's an LS bracket. The GSR are at a slight angle

 

i don't remember the bracket being straight or not but i remember the holes on the head being at an angle. all i know is that the holes don't perfectly line up.

if i got a correct p/s bracket, would i line up with the original crank pulley? would it be necessary to get a newer p/s pump and swap out the crank pulleys off a newer year?

thanks!!

 

If you use a newer power steering pump/ pulley (ribbed belt) you will need to switch the crank pulley to match.

 

right but would the mounts and stuff bolt right up and line up to the crank pulley?

also i read around and i wanted to comfirm, there's only 2 brackets that hold the pump in correct?
