Okay i know it says to use a Civic SI power steering pump when swapping in a b series in to an EK but..
I have a pr3 power steering pump... and it has the smaller opening on the pump.. my high pressure line has the larger hole...

can i find a line from a eg civic, del sol and swap them? will it be long enough? too long? im sure itll thread into the rack...
anyone done this before? ... my final step to driving my car... with p/s..

where did you get that information from? i am currently using my d-series or stock power steering pump on my b-series motor.

How did you manage that? What B brackets line up to mount the D pump?

 

i really dont remember what bracket i used. i will take a picture of it tonight when i get home from work. i want to say it came with my jdm motor

 

did your pr3 pump come from an a3 del sol?

eg/dc lines do NOT fit the ek chassis...totally different angle from the rack and will not clear

EK lines are short... The hard line has 1 bend in it, from the rack's opening, in the right/rear.
EG/DC lines are significantly longer... The hard line has several bends in it, routing from the left/rear of the rack and zig-zagging a bit around the chassis.
You MAY be able to rebend a EG/DC hard line....but probably not. I have rebent quite a few lines, all without kinking them...but failed miserably with rebending an 01 ITR line... Besides, even if you are able to rebend it (180* in the opposite direction AT the flare fitting) you end up with a hose that's really too long (whether you care about that or not...is up to you)</TD></TR></TABLE>

 

Im using my d series pump with my swap. I just used the brakets that came with the b series motor.

 

Pics would be great. The part number on the brackets you used would be great too. I'm using a D pump and D line on my B and had to make brackets.

 

jdm b-series brack
usdm d-series ps pump


if you look at this picture you will notice that i have a b-series a/c bracket with a d-series compressor



sorry guys, i dont know where the stamp is so i couldnt tell you what part number it is.

 

Huh...Ive never seen a bracket that looks like that one before... Interesting
Bummer about the stamp

 

thats a crv bracket, it should be alliunium vs cast iron and it uses a d series pump, thats the same setup i have.

Holy christ thank you for that info. You have no idea what a bitch its been with "custom" bracket work. You just saved me money. I was about to buy a 99-00 SI pressure line and pump.

 

the em1 pressure line is the same as whats on all ek
the pump just fits b series brackets

 

will that crv bracket fit a vtec head? or is that like a ls/b20 only bracket? ...

 

because the p75 head has a different bolt pattern than pr3 and p72, Im guessing no
