Im putting an ls-vtec in a 94 del sol and currently have a b16 in there. can I use the b16 power steering bracket or do I need to use a bracket off of a gsr or an ls. The power steering pumps are all the same pump which leads me to believe they use the same bracket but thats why im asking. thanks

someone has to know which bracket to use.

I am using a 00 SI pump and my EX line that came w/ the car already. I think I am using the LS's brackets. Everything should all bolt up. Just use your brackets from the B16 and you should be straight.

on B series engines the power steering bracket is two pieces. An upper piece that mounts to the head...the lower bracket mounts to the block.

You will use the LS bottom mount bracket and B16 top mount bracket. I had to remove the little thin metal shield thing that connected the two and threw it away. It didn't fit anymore.

I used a B16 top bracket.

purchased it used here on H/T


The bottom bracket came with my LS

if your using a GSR head use the GSR top bracket.

If it's B16 or ITR use the b16 or ITR top bracket

yea its a b18a and a b16a obd-o head.

match the upper bracket with the head

did the obd-0 b16 use the same bracket as the 0bd-1 b16. because the pump was totally different but i never paid attention to the bracket?

you definatly need a b16 bracket then.

I'm not sure if the obd0 and the obdI/II's were the same or not.

As far as the pump go, going from obdO to obdI i know they switched from v belts to ribbed. But as for the brackets you'll have to search the archives. I'm not familiar with obd0 b16's

im afraid the brackets different but im 95% sure i have the obd-0 bracket still so i might be able to make it work.

obd doesnt matter
If its a pr3 head you get a pr3 bracket
