Default power steering removal

i removed my powersteering pump competly from the rack and looped it around so the fluid can still travel through. but my steering wheel is really hard to turn. with my civic it was much easier to turn than my integra. you guys know what i can do it fix it. thanks.

Oh my god...seriously?
You are in a heavier car, hence a heavier steering feeling.

If you looped the line, and didn't include a breather, that's why its so hard to turn.
Add a breather to the looped line and see if that's sufficient for you.

Reducing caster also makes it easier to turn the wheel, but isn't a simple procedure.
