I have a SI hatch and i took the power steering out and my car is hard as f*ck to turn its harder than i car with a non power steering rack


i took everything off

there are 3 lines coming out the rack (if your in front the car) there are 2 lines on the left one is bigger and the other its like a feed ad return and to the right of them is one line that goes to the top of the power steering pump

the 2 lines on the left i looped them i put a T in the middle and put a breather in

the line to the right i just blocked off with a cap

i have looked for weeks trying to find a write up on the internet i can only find old stuff with pics that dont work

i just need to know what lines to loop and where to put the brether



when i first did it i looped them lines with no breather and the hose blew off when i turned the wheel i put a brether in and now its hard as f*ck to turn


Please help

 

i have no clue of doing that also when i did my manual steering swap so i just bought a manual rack and installed it.

also, the manual rack is much lighter than the power one.

 

did you remove some of the fluid? if you leave it full it will be hard to turn

heres a pic

 

thats a real nice setup in that pic! off topic my bad. But yea when i had my r did the samething. I had to get rid of some fluid so i wouldn't be so ruff.
