Default Power Steering info!

I have recently done a K20/K24 swap into my 92 Prelude Si. The car runs great, but still needs alil more work to be road ready. The problem I am having is with the Power Steering/ Rack & Pinion. At first, with the car running, whenever the steering was moved the wheel would automaticly go towards the right once the steering was centered. I thought the R&P was bad so I had it replaced. Now the steering does it in both directions once it is recentered. I am thinking that the K20 Power Steering pump might be putting out more pressure than what the R&P can handle and blowing the Spool Valve inside. Does anyone know where I can find the output specs for the K20 & H22 PS pump. I want to see what the pressure difference is between the 2. I know most of you out there are going to tell me to just get ride of it. I really like PS and want to do what I can to keep it.

Get rid of the PS. I converted my Ludes to manual. Unless you are tracking it, its not bad at all without the PS, and its one less thing to worry about.
