Hey guys if you could detailed pics of this it would be very helpful for a friend. Thanks

 

don't you have a prelude? just show him

 

Nah its for a buddy online, he needs pics and i dont got a digy. Do you think you can contribute?

 

Non one has actual pics someone could physically go out and take of their stuff? Or when someone has some time?

 

What year prelude is it?
Can't you just use schematics?

 

Well my friend really wants to see pics from waht he told me but im a send him that link you sent me before. Thanks for your input though.

There is 5 Hydraulic pipes on the cradle and there is 1 flow sensor (green connector) on the main line from the pump, there is a Front-Sub-sensor for the 4ws on the bottom of the rack and that is all.

Is that what you were after?

I guess i was mainly looking for the 4th gne vtecs and 5th gen vtecs, is it the same? And thanks dude for taking the pics. I appreciate it.

 

No, the 4th & 5th gen p/s systems are very different. 5th gen is simpler - just a single loop going from the top of the steering rack to the pump/reservoir/cooling line & then back again. 4th gen setup has an extra loop that goes out to the VSS on the back of the tranny.

But if you're looking to do this with the engine in the car, it's almost impossible to get good photos of the parts you'd be concerned with. If you look down behind the engine on the driver's side, you should be able to see the top of the steering rack - that's where the fittings are that you'd be interested in. A 14x1.5mm & 16x1.5mm fitting.

I'm confused at what's going on, though - your friend doesn't have a Prelude, and he's making a kit for you to use on your car? Whatever the case may be, your best ally is a Helms manual & having the actual car in front of you.

 

Nah hes in the process of making a kit for me, but he has no way of seeing how long the lines and stuff is needed. Since you know Integras and civics are different then preludes. I dont have a camera to take pics for him either. Thats why i was asking you guys.

 

Is this on a daily driver?

I tried it on mine - fair warning, the steering is still very stiff, even if you loop the lines at the rack & use a breather reservoir. Stiff to the point of being dangerous in parking lots, in my opinion - you can't react quickly enough for accident avoidance. And even at speed, the car simply wasn't fun to drive anymore. There's just too much weight & caster on a Prelude for this to be daily driveable, in my opinion.

But as for this kit, just have him include lots of extra hose, like 6 feet or something - it's certainly cheap enough. You probably only need 3 or 4 feet, but it really depends on where you're going to mount your breather reservoir (assuming you're using one).

If you're interested, I've still got all the parts from when I converted mine:
