Default Help with B20 Power Steering

So I'm doing a B20 Swap into a 98' EM1 and I'm trying to keep the same power steering pump(D-Series). The lower bracket fits but the upper bracket is not compatible, I heard a P72 bracket fits right in is this true or is it the other brackets like the P75 or PR3?

Believe you will need to switch to b series

Here is my B20 in my 95 integra LS

I swapped the bracket and pump from the original B18b

The bracket is stamped P54

You need to figure out which B series PS pump is compatible with your stock high pressure ps line

Use the honda crv bracket, me thinks, if you want to keep the d-series pump.

I swapped the old pump from my Civic onto the B20 from the CRV when I did that swap. It went on the CRV bracket just fine. Looking at Rockauto, 2000 CRV and 2000 D-series Civic use the same pump.

If you intend to use the Civic P/S pump, the CRV bracket is the best and most available choice. You could find LS upper and lower P/S brackets, but then you would have to source a "B" series P/S pump that matches your high pressure P/S hard line in your Civic.

What Freedo said is correct, obtain a b18 or b20 power steering bracket, basically a bracket for non-vtec motors and use your current D series power steering pump, as it will work.

B18 and B20 P/S brackets are NOT the same. Only the CRV bracket works with the "D" series P/S pump.

That's right. He kinda put words in my mouth. I didn't say a b18 bracket would work. The crv bracket is the only b series ps bracket to my knowledge that works with the d-series pump.
