i searched, but didn't really find anything...im not sure if i want to keep power steering or not... im gonna swap a b18c5 in an EK hatch...but i wanna know the cons to having power steering...like whats the power loss?

 

its not much of a power loss....just suck it up you dont need it...i dont have it in my coupe...you get used to it after a few days

 

my other hatch didnt have power steering, the new one im getting does, so yea. i dont wanna go thru the trouble of taking it off...or getting a manual steering rack...if im gonna take it off...ill just get my tubes tied for a while

 

i took it off. it's great. it had power steering before and i don't have ANY problem turning. ujust need a lil muscle. c'mon! when u tie the tube, make sure u turn the steering wheel all the way to the left n right first. that way all the liquid comes out that can come out. i didn't do this, heh. blew off my plug when i turned into a parking stall.

 

thanks...is a manual steering rack any different than a power steering rack with tubes tieD? i heard it was a lil easier with the tubes tied...but i think im just gonna stay manual..gangstAr style

 

For now just undo the belt, then zip tie it to the front radiator support and drive like that for awhile. If you like it off cut the belt and youre done.
If you like it the other way put the belt back on.
