I was told that I could retain the power steering in H22 swapped 95 Accord if I either:
A) Lengthen the PS line/hose and use the original H22 PS bracket (OBD1 H22 engine)
B) OR... Install a PS bracket from a 97 and up Prelude.

So I chose to purchase a 97+ Prelude PS bracket rather than pay someone to lengthen the original PS line by brazing it.

I didn't see this coming...the 97+ lude ps bracket mounts directly to the head but would require quite a bit of modification in order to align the ps pump with the crank pulley. Do I need a PS pump from a 97+ Lude as well? Or has everyone else used a series of washers in order to retain the original pump to fit?

PICS: (In the pics, the 97+ bracket is installed on the head) The 97+ bracket's top mounting hole is roughly a full inch left to the passenger's side thus misaligning the PS pump.






Original bracket held up next to 97+ bracket which is mounted to the head:

 

Where did you buy that bracket?

I've since sold my car but let me see if I have pictures of that area still.

 

Closest I have for the time being, the positioning of yours looks correct - Have you tried tightening everything up?

 

i used my accord bracket and pump w/ the prelude pulley on the pump and everything worked perfect...good luck

 

my fore arms are huge p/s is for sissies


buy some creatine or something :p

 

Do you recall which PS bracket you used? I tightened up the 97+ bracket but it won't work with the stock Accord pump without major modification.

 

Mine is the 97+ Base Model Prelude bracket.

Accord PS Pump
Accord PS Line

I tried the H23 bracket, F22 bracket, JDM H22A bracket, and the 97 + one before that one fit.

 

Figured it out. The owner of the car gave me the wrong ps pump. The pictures are of a h22 ps pump rather than the original Accord's pump. The Accord's ps pump bolted up right up.

Although I need to order a different size belt. The original belt is too small. Do you which belt you used or a part number for it? I didn't pull anything up after searching...

 

i dunno if the top pic was meant to show the belt in place so forgive me if im wrong but the p/s belt should be on the outter part of the crank....not the inner

 

Yeah I know that... I was showing how the ps pump pulley didn't line up with the ps ribs on the crank pulley but that was because I was using the wrong ps pump the whole time.

As far as the belt size...it's a 4 rib belt and 40" length is too short and 42" length is too long. I'm headed to autozone to try out a 41" belt.

 

good deal i did an f22a to f22b swap in the past month n hadd to mess around with belt sizes...goodluck

 

I can't recall but will tell you I tried about 15 different belts haha. I think I ended up using an accessory belt for a mid 90's ford ranger.

 

my recommendation would be go to autozone....their belts are inventoried differently and he was able to look the belt up by length for me at my local one

 

Hey I know this thread is ancient im in the process of my 94 accord h22a4 swap and I am going to run my f22 pump and line what length belt did you use with that set-up also if you run the f22 ac compressor/bracket what length belt did you run thanks

 

Just use a piece of string and loop it around the pulleys.

I think mine ended up being from like a '93 Ford Ranger or something random like that.

 

I posted the info above...

"As far as the belt size...it's a 4 rib belt and 40" length is too short and 42" length is too long. I'm headed to autozone to try out a 41" belt."

Never confirmed it, but should be pretty close

 

Wow, My 94 Accord EX PS and AC bolted right on my H22A without any problems. I wonder what mounts you are using and if that is a factor? My oem engine was a f22b1 vtec. Maybe you have different stuff?
