ok, so my car is an 89 accord lxi. the 86-89 accords all had power steering. well the us models anyways. i got a couple options. i can source out a manual rack and subframe from Canada, prob still have to rebuild it, then pay a million dollars to ship it back to the us.
has anyone ever done a full power to manual conversion that functioned exactly like an original manual rack. not just cutting the lines and looping them.
last i can source out a manual rack from Canada/eBay and modify my sub frame to accept it. prob will be the easiest way.

Just do a vented setup with your power rack. It should drive and feel like a manual rack, but with the quicker ratio of the power rack, and you won't be fighting the pressure that you would if you just looped the lines.
There's plenty of info on venting your power rack, do some searching on it.
