Convert to electric PS and run the biggest baddest top mount turbo setup you want. I did and will never go back. I use an MR2 electric hydraulic pump with my stock Si rack and it's fantastic.

Could this be done with my factory Integra RS rack? How much we talking and how much work was that?

I just prefer to keep.. lol. I wish I still had AC. If I did the car probably wouldn’t be sitting for years at a time 🤣

Hell, I still want power steering. Plan to keep it that way as well.. From what I remember, the Go-Autoworks model still allowed for power steering, but you may want to contact Greg to confirm.

Have you tried to move the car around in a parking lot without power steering with big sticky front tires?

Cost me a few hundred bucks, but I did this years ago. I used a karcepts.com kit which was like $100, it included all the lines I needed and a mounting bracket for the pump. I don't see it on their website anymore, but you can contact them and see if they still have it. The MR2 pump just replaces the Honda belt-driven pump, and everything else works as-is. The MR2 pump you can adjust the pump pressure, so you can increase or decrease the amount of additional force added. I have mine on a switch, so I can turn it on without starting the car so I can push my car around in the pits.

This thread has most of the information you need: https://www.k20a.org/threads/electri...ta-2001.58599/

http://www.evalbum.com/tech/mr2_powersteering.html has additional information on the 94-95 pumps.

Oh you've done that? How is it? Honestly, if that was a thing when I did mine I'd probably have done it. Not having to deal with power steering fluid, lines, fittings, etc sounds lovely.
