Any swapped EFs running power steering?

Pics?

Did you hook up the VSS to the power steering like they were in the DAs?

Yes, my son'n 91 Hatch has PS. Had to run hose from pump to cooling fins in front of radiator and cut out some metal behind left headlight to have room to install pump. Also installed hose to the transmission, Ifigured if it went there to begin with, there must be a reason. Sorry no pics, but if you think as you go, it isn't hard to do. Just made sure to zip tie all the hoses out of the way of moving parts and protect hose anywhere it might rub and cause a leak. Everything works the way it was designed to work.

 

Did you reuse the OEM power steering hoses of did you have to custom fab stuff?

What P/S pump did you use, the Civic one or the B series?

I think I had to chance 1 end on one of the hoses. Wasn't any problem because I had hoses from both engines and got a shop that makes up hydraulic hoses to swap it out- looked just like factory. I used the pump that came with the B series. Idid cut some of the metal lines going to the p/s cooler in front of the radiator and replace with rubber and clamps in order to route the lines around the belts and pulleys. Hope this helps, sorry so long in responding.

I'm waking this up hoping that you'll see it Wood.

I picked up a Civic Power steering crossmember, and a DA Integra power steering rack because it has a quicker ratio than the stock CRX.

I mounted the power steering pump brackets. The pump will hit the headlight like you said.

I'm wondering if the D pump is smaller, for less trimming.

I'm also thinking of shaving the top mount to pull the pump in closer to the engine.

The hose from the resivour to the pump is too short. What did you use?

When you plumbed in the VSS, how did you do it? The DA Teg has 4 lines leading to the rack and one of them leads to the VSS and another is T-ed to the VSS.

The Civic only has 3 lines leading to the rack.

While re-reading your post, are you saying that the OEM metal lines leading around the timing belt don't clear the B engine?

Physically bolting the rack and pump in seems easy it's the plumbing lines that freak me out.

I also need the metal rack lines from a DA.

Thanks

 

Johnnie, I will try to lok at the car this aftrenoon to see what I did as far as plumbing goes. Don't remember about hose to P/S fluid tank being too short- could be some differences because we did my son's conversion from a JDM Integra.
