I have two power steering units sitting around. One is from a b16a2 (p30) and the other is from a b18b LS motor (stamped p72). I’m trying to decide which one would be a wiser choice to install because I want to keep my power steering. From what I can tell from looking at the two is the LS PS unit has a bigger pulley while the b16's pulley is a bit smaller. Because this a LSV build, the obvious choice would be to go with the LS PS unit and call it a day. But I was just curious (if this is even possible) if there can be anything gained from using the b16’s PS unit or by swap over the smaller b16’s pulley onto the LS’s PS unit. Let me know what you guys think. Thank you.

wow, no one? where has the "tech" in honda-tech gone?

 

The smaller power steering pump pulley means that the pump spins faster than the one with the bigger pulley.
