Default Integra steering rack swap into an EG

Is it just me? or does the manual steering for EGs suck ***? its WAY too slow for my taste, plus the steering effort is pretty high, especially with aftermarket wheels/tires... so i would like to do an integra PS rack swap, if possible.

I did a quick search but didn't come up with too much info about doing this conversion. Has anyone done it or know any tips/info on it? thanks in advance.

I have a COMPLETE power steering system, well minus the rack, but I have all the lines, the pump, can, and everything you would need. Hit me up if you are interested. Oh, and on the tech side, its very simple to install, just take a day off and don't mind getting dirty as hell

hey cool, i might be interested in picking that up from you.. in the future, when i have money does it require swapping subframes? can you use the civic steering column/pinion gear? what about tie rod ends?

You don't have to swap subframes and it will bolt right up. You can use the Civic steering column and pivot joint

that is awesome news, thanks a lot man! i have the ps pump, but i'd need the rack, the reservoir, lines... what else do you have that i would need?

ps I just saw pics of you and your car in appearance/cosmetic, its almost a twin of mine.. mine is a dx though with the black side mouldings, and a type r lip instead of mugen.. but its a red hatch with black rota c8s!

Haha, thats funny. Yeah, the C8's are for the 4-door and the wheels that were on the 4-door are for the hatch. But I have the complete p/s setup. When you're ready, hit me up and I'll get you some pics.

I just did this (put a '94 GSR P/S rack into a '93 CX hatch) and I like it, except now my steering wheel is cocked about 45 degrees to the right when going straight. I tried to fix it by realigning the U-joint down by the floorboard under the plastic cover, but it's on 100% symmetrical - there's a flat spot the pinch bolt has to pass over.

Is this just the way this power steering swap works out, and I should just realign my steering wheel to compensate?
