Power Steering in a B18C swap into 98 DX??
As of right now my brother and i have ripped the old D series engine out of the 98 DX hatch and dropped in the JDM B18C. so far so good... the only problem is the power steering.......
Now i know what everyone is gonna say - just leave the PS off, but my brother wants to put it in, and its his car, so.........
i just need to figure this out and we should be strait. well, the PS pump from the D series engine, seems basically useless, and the PS bump from the B18c can be bolted on....
but the problem is that the PS line from the civic that gets bolted into the top of the pump with 2 bolts does not fit into the GSR pump.
Does anyone have any hints or tips as to what i can do??
would a different PS pump help me out? is there any way to change the original PS line from the civic?
thanks for any help!!

here's a picture example of what's goin on with mine...prolly the same for you.
the stock civic pump
gsr that comes with the swap
you can notice that the civic one has a bigger opening...and is in a straight line compared the to the gsr one that has a small opening and is at an angle.
and here you can see it not fitting.

Just use the 99-00 SI PS pump. Or 96 and up Integra PS pump. They will mate with your hose without any problem.

leadtrum - nice pics 
that is exactly what i am stuck looking at right now. Im in the process of trying to track down a PS pump from either a 98+ teg or a 99-00 Si. I have found a couple of people that have them, hopefully tommorow i will be able to track one down and see if it will mate up correctly... ill let you know what happens.
