Power steering add

I'm swapping a B18C into my '91 DX hatch. I would like to add power steering. Which pump and what brackets?? B18 pump won't fit into engine bay. Thanks

You will need more than just that. You will need to the rack too. I would ask why in heavens name do you want to put PS on the car.

Thanks, I'll look at that. Not sure if the '94 pump is different than the '97 I have now. Too bigga motor, too smalla space.

A little hard steering to begin with. Add the weight of the new motor, and the fact that everything is open and easy now, why not.

Because it sucks. It adds weight and robs power, and isn't as responsive. I got a better solution, the benifits will be two fold. Buy a weight set and start lifting. Don't be such a puss. I used to run no PS on a Suzuki Samurai with welded diffs, and 35" tires. Then steering components broke and I had to upgrade. Not only will your car be faster and better handling, you will bw in better shape. PS sucks. The best car ever made didn't even have power steering.
