Does anyone know what parts are needed other than the obvious?

Power Rack and Pion.
Pump with hoses.
bracket for pump

Anyone want a manual for power? lol

You will also need the lower subframe, without it you will be unable to mount the power rack. On the passanger side there is a clam shell clamp that attaches the rack. On cars that are non powersteering the mount on the subframe is flat. The power steering cars the mount has a cut out to hold the larger dia rack. If you look at the 2 side by side you will see what I am talking about

I too am looking at reinstating power steering in my 94 civic ex / vtec 1.6l . I have trouble (meaning I can't) parallel park with no power steering. Other than that simple fact I have no problems without power steering so any help would be useful.

Resivor, hoses, compressor, clamps, belt(s), pulley?, rack and pinion. Probably forgetting something.

I removed my PS. I didn't like it at all. It was way to easy. Or I'm just so jacked. lol Good luck

NOT true homie. I've converted my EK to power steering. No subframe etc whatever your talking about needed. Just a straight swap.

you do need the subframe.. the mounts by the steering shaft bolt up and the pass side where it is more like a sway bar clamp the non ps sub frame has a smaller notch for the non ps rack and pinion. ive done this swap for my cx hatch,

what motor do you have????
cuz the ecu needs the ps pressure switch hooked up. that is on the high pressure line of the ps fluid.
