Default power steering problems on 99 ex civic

hey guys i just recently swapped a 99 ls swap into my civic and i want to retain power steering, my question is what high pressure hose can i buy that will bolt on to my new power steering pump?

i've tried the cr-v bracket and my old sohc power steering pump and the pump isn't able to adjust in any way to take slack out of the belt..

Maybe a DOHC Del Sol bracket? 99-00 Civic Si?

That is strange, I heard the CR-V bracket works on 96-00 Civic's with B18B/B20 swaps on the original power steering pump - Have you tried using a different (shorter) belt?

I suggest to use the CR-V bracket with a CR-V ps pump or LS upper and lower brackets with a 98-01 LS pump or 99-00 Si pump.

the cr-v bracket works, but there's no way to loosen or tighten tension inside the line.. the mechanic doing my swap is being a hard *** and refuses to buy a shorter belt.. and he says even if he does he won't be able to tighten the belt?

Belts:

99 CRV PS Belt is 911mm long (outside circumference).

99 Integra LS/GSR/ITR PS Belt is 932mm long

Looks like if you are using a CRV Bracket, you should use the shorter CRV belt. I am guess he is trying to fit the longer Integra Belt on your car?
