Default Running Power steering in B-series EF?? What mount to use?

I want to run PS in my EF, I will be putting in a GSR. What mounts or thing should i use to make the power steering run correctly. Do i have to buy new ps pump or can i just use the d-series with the d-series bracket?

Help!

So you don't have p/s at all right now? It can be done, but it's a lot of work to add it. In the beginning, you will need a new steering rack, all hoses, pump, resevior, plus have brackets which probably need to be modified to use on a b series engine.

The only EF we got with p/s i know of were certain sedans, i have had a couple of them with auto trannies

I do have power steering. But i dont know which brackets to use. I have a 88 wagon with AC and Power steering (super rare). I want to keep the power steering when the swap is complete. Hope that makes sense.

Well, that's a big plus if you have p/s already! I would think it be easiest to use the gsr pump as it mounts the the engine properly. You can go to a hose shop and have the pump lines ends replaced from your original d series, to the gsr pump.

I did some work like that when swapping an engine from sohc to dohc in an Accord i built a couple years ago. Cost me about $30

The pump and the bracket? or just the pump?

While I am doing this you also reccomend me to use the p72 PS bracket too, right?

I just finished mine, run any b-series vtec bracket, and run a pump off of a 90 integra and the pressure line off of a 90 integra ( fits perfect ) but switch the power steering pully off the d series pump and onto the pump from the integra cause its smaller and your set! and belt wise just go to your local auto store and buy a belt thats 2 inches bigger im pretty sure thats how much bigger the one i got is but dont quote me on the belt size .. but everything else works perfectly!

i dont think it will but i could be mistaken, pretty sure u gotta stick with the 90 91 integra once u get to the 92's its obd1 and they start changing stuff, stick to an obdo integra and youll be fine.
