you think its worth taking it out if i have to drive my car everyday? how much of a difference will it make?

 

Well once you get the car moving then it's really nice, cuz you feel the road a lot more and also it seems that you're more in control.. since there is no assistance if you move the steering wheel by an 1inch the wheels will move an inch too.

But you need to make sure that you loop the ract correctly, so that the fluid stays inside. It will be a little bit more heavy, but otherwise your rack is gona start clicking and go to **** after a little while. The moving parts are suppose to get power steering fluid when they move, if you start moving them with less and less fluid everytime.. there is a chance that it will break.. my 2cents...

if you got the money and the time. Just pick up a non-power steering rack, and make the switch!

 

i notice a better pull right off when i removed my ps. and its great "fighting" with the car around sharp corners. it makes driving fun. icon thef.

 

i dont have power steering.... i like not having it most of the time for the reason stated above. i drive it daily and you forget you dont have it sometimes, it just becomes normal.... makes ur arms stronger too

 

My buddy has a teg with a B18c type r that had power steering and I always would pull a car on him. Now he removed the power steering and stays in front of me by a fender. yeah it makes a difference remove it!

 

anything that you can get rid of off the motor that is belt driven always helps...toss the a/c and p/s and you're down 2 pulleys, then slap on the new underdrive..

 

Power steering are for the weak my son.

 

i hear it makes a differance , i drove a crx with out power steering i wasn't that bad just when your going slow you kinda have to strugle

 

SEARCH....In the Type R forum they had a thread on this. In the thread there is a dyno chart that shows a 6hp difference with and without it....

 

I like my power steering especially when I am on the phone and trying to back out my car from a parking space.

 

I agree with TeckNix....... I had my power steering taken off when I had my motor swap done. For now its just zip tied in my engine bay until i can decide weather i can deal with daily driving with none. I've noticed its not that bad in hatches, but in my accord its hell. I like the idea of buying a non power steering rack though. As for feeling the road, its true you do feel more of it, but you better have some strength in those arms if you want to keep it straight if you are driving on a tore up freeway.

 

thanks for the replies everyone it was really useful.......and i have decided to kick the power steering and get a non power steering rack.....does anyone know where i can get one.?

 

just take off the compressor and bracket and line, and you will be stright.

 

Just run hoses and a breather to the two P/S line on your rack to a reservoir. This will make it feel a lot better due to you not figthing the fluid every time you steer...

I agree, the feedback you get from the steering wheel is entertaining.
But parallel parking is a bitch.

 

where did you buy your parts? How much did it run you? Part numbers?

Anyone think of using the electrically engaged clutch pulley thing off an AC compressor? that way you could turn it on and off with a dash mounted switch... granted i have no idea how those things work... just a thought...

remove the PS... why do you even have to ask. It's a no brainier.. PS is for caddies and trucks.. not for serious motoring enthusiasts!
