What are the ratios of the following steering racks?

Integra Type R
Integra GSR
92-95 civic dx (power steering)
92-95 civic cx (no power steering)

Also will the integra rack fit in the civic?

Thanx for the help.

 

hehe..i like the way you think..wish i had the answers..im curious myself

 

dont know the ratios off the top of my head. But they are in the order you put it in (Best to worst).

Yes it will fit in a civic.

 

Err......my 95 Civic DX Coupe was not equipped with P/S. Rather it was rack & pinion. Did some 5th Gen DX's come equipped??

 

Yes the once in Canada did come with the p/s.

 

Anyone else know the ratios?

Another question I have is is there a kit that converts the p/s rack to a manual rack? I guess it would be a catch can and a couple of houses to return the fluid. Anyone any ideas what could be used for the catchcan, besides a used engine oil container.

 

Just plug up the hydraulic lines with bolts like I did, or attach them to each other in a loop.

 

Civic p/s 17:1
Civic non 19:1
Teg p/s 16.1:1

 

Are you saying that the Type R and the GSR has the same ratio?

 

My guess.....yup. But I don't know.

 

pretty sure type R and GSR have same ratio.

 

Anyone else knows for sure?

 

yep..
all of the 94+ integra r+p are the same ratios.
I actually tried an integra r+p in my civic, it was cool for a while but I got sick of it.

It installed nicely & everything, the turning ratio was cool, I would only turn the wheel approx. 2.5 turns to the right & about 2 turns leftwise and the wheels would be fully turned either way.

What I got sick of was this...
There's this one certain street I would always make a left-hand U-turn on when I had my civic r+p on. I could pull a U-turn on this street no problem. After swapping over to the integra r+p (I got an alignment once I installed it too), I went back to the same street and did my usual U-turn...turns out I had to do 3 point U-turn. It sucked because I found out why too. The integra r+p, turning all the way to LEFT, doesn't actually go all the way like a civic r+p does - which sucks! But on the otherhand, turning all way to the RIGHT was fine and matched that of a civic r+p.

It's weird, I dunno why they made the integra r+p like that, but it irritated the hell outta me whenever I made left hand sharp turns or U-turns.

I eventually went back to my civic r+p, I like it a whole lot more.

..just my experience with an integra rack & pinion.

 

Thank you for your honest opinion, Katman.

How different was the driving when on the track was the steering more responsive?

 

heh, I didnt get a chance to test it out on the track. sorry...

 

did you try it with the PS or without? trying to figure something out...

 

without...but I used a resivour tank to keep the rack loobed with P/S fluid. That didnt work out too well ....it would leak and get all over my engine bay. another reason why i took out the integra r/p.
