Default Steering Fluid Type for Modified System???

I am finishing up an Electric Hydraulic Steering System on My 1994 Civic.

Rack is 1998 GSR
Pump is from an EDM Citroen Saxo

Pump is designed for Dexron Fluid.

Which one do I use?

Will Dexron damage the RACK?
Will Honda Steering Fluid Damage the Pump?

Is Honda OEM PS Fluid required just to protect the Pump in a Honda System, or is the Rack also sensitive?
Does anyone know what's so special about the Honda Power Steering Fluid???
Does it have special additives?
What is the Viscosity of Honda Steering Fluid?
What is the Viscosity of Dexron?

Thanks for any help you could give me.

Using Dexron in a Honda rack tends to ruin the seals in it.
