i have an h22a swapped EK w/o ps but it has the ps rack. is a rack swap from an EG possible? is there a 96-00 civic w/ a manual steering rack?

punkinbeck

why dont you just put a reservoir in, delete the pump, and save yourself a bunch of work?

BrizzlEK

would that solve the horrible steering at low speeds?

punkinbeck

no, but a manual rack isn't a whole lot better.

No

Yes, the '96 - '00 CX hatchback, 5 speed.

As well as most 96-00 DX's too.

Manual rack is always going to be tight steering at low speeds, it's part of having a manual rack. If you're that big of a ***** that you can't steering a manual rack in a Honda, you don't need to be driving manual. My girlfriend (5'2", 100 pounds, 20 years old) drives her 97 DX without power steering with no issues. Her friend who is also about the same size drives the same exact car without any problems either. It's something you adjust to.

yeah im not being a *****, i autox and switching from the s13 with ps to the civic with out is just weird to me. I do know that manual steering is tight at low speeds, i am just a little ocd on my cars and like everything to not be ghetto rigged

thanks to everyone else for the info

If you're going to autocross then it may be a good idea to leave the PS on.
