Default Faster Steering Rack

I want a faster steering rack and there isnt anything faster that I can swap into my GSR. I want fewer turns lock to lock. S2000 is perfect.

Has anybody experimented with putting a S2000 steering rack in an Integra? Or perhaps just the gear assembly? I doubt its a direct swap.

INSTALL A T3/T4 AND TUNE IT TO 100PSI - that will get your rack moving alright.

i was trying to find a fast steering rack for my eg but nobody makes them as far as i could find. i ended up just swapping a gsr rack on and then looping the lines on the power steering works good so far.

I know Quaife makes aftermarket steering racks, but they dont make them for Honda's.

I remember a while back, Brain from Fastbrakes was trying to setup a group buy on some custom racks from Quaife. I dont know what the outcome was.

as far as i remeber the steering racks were finished.. they wanted like 450$ for it.. and all your buying are the gears.. you have to find somebody to install them.

Try Reline Motorsport in England. They have a few steering racks which are quicker for the EG which will also fit into a teg, Quafie made it and another company. Will find the ctalogue for you later.

Quaife does make the parts to make a quicker rack! It may not however be marketed yet. You will have to call them about when it will be available.

What I've seen, and talked to them about (at the Los Angeles IAS) was the rack bar and drive gear for manual steering EF racks. It's just two parts.

I followed that thread for a while, but it never happened. The cost ended up being a lot more than Brian was originally quoted. In the end, it sounded like it just wasn't worth it.
