I'm trying to get the power steering system hooked up on a 99 GSR shell that I bought last year to bring back to life. The car came with no motor, interior, or suspension, and my donor car is a totaled 01 GSR.

My issue lies where the power steering line connects to the top of the power steering pump. The male fitting on the hose is larger than the female receptacle on the pump itself. The rack & hose is original to the 99 I believe, and the pump i'm installing is from the 01 donor car. They're both GSR's.

If I order a new hose from Acura for the 01, I know it will fit the pump, but will it fit the rack?

Did the system change between model years, or did the previous owner possibly install a rack and/or hose from a civic, or other Integra?


The hose circled in yellow is too big for the receptacle circled in green.

 

Well the pump itself has a different part number between 94 and 01 model year, to help narrow things down a bit.

The other thing I can't figure out, on Delray Acura, they list a Showa and Denso for the 2001 model. How can I tell which I have?

And for the 94 model year, they list a Show and RMS version of the pump.

Any advice?

 

Anybody? Maybe I should try a different forum?

 

The tech forum might be able to help, but unfortunately I know next to nothing about the PS pumps and variance between the years on Integras.
