Okay looking at that picture above, Can anyone tell me which hose I need to loop where when removing power steering?

My 2nd part of the question... YOu see all those tubes that go all to the front of the car and stuff.. Is there a way to remove all of that crap and still have the looping PS rack working? Because it seem slike a lot of **** to just have sitting in the bay

 

you need to loop the hoses that go to the inlet and outlet of the pump togather, the hoses in front are to cool the power steering fluid since you don't want to run power steering you can just take them out

 

yeah that picture is from a model that has a ps cooler. which i havent seen on a civic or integra ever...

but yeah loop the inlet and outlet side of the rack.... then you can remove the pump and resoviour

 

cool thx. but yea i know to loop the inlet and outlet but I dont know which tube is the inlet or outlet so i was wondering if u could point out on the picture which ones to loop

 

ok well i know the big line on the top of the pump is one...

the problem is you posted a picture of a ps sytems that uses a cooler which like i said i have not seen on any civic or integra....

but from looking at the picture, the two hardlines that attach to the rack right next to the where the steerign colum meets to it, either one or both of those lines need to be blocked off...

which car are you trying to do this on? i want to make sure i tell you what you need to do with the right picture.

 

it's a 92 Si

pics from that thread



this picture is off a integra but the rack would be similar..... thats how it should look for the bypass of the pump and resivour

 

Hey thanks! I was looking at this old thread, is it the same deal?

Oh yeah. and my P/s system looks exactly like that diagram I posted in the first pic... It has the cooler and everything./

yeah,every 94+ Teg and 92+ civic i've seen with P/S has the cooler.

pic from a 92 Si:


and a 94 Integra:


i've tried two different methods.on one car i just plugged all three holes after getting all the fluid out of the rack(i removed the hard lines and welded the pipe fittings closed).on another i used a T fitting to loop all three fittings together.both have been like this for a few years with no problems at all,and the car with the plugged fittings doesn't have any higher steering effort than the other.

most cars do have ps coolers, at least every honda i owned did at one point...the other thread tells it pretty well, its kinda hard to explain it, there's several ways of doing it, dry rack, wet rack, keeping some lines, removing them all and just looping in the one place (in that pic) its all preference in how you want to do it

 

well damn learn something new everyday....

out of the 30-40 hondas i have worked on i have yet to see one with this cooler....

maybe i wasnt paying attention to it..... but oh well glad you got the info you needed

 

yeah my civic and DA integra both had ps coolers. they sat in front of the radiator/ac condensor.
