Re: ITR rack ratio... (Doctor CorteZ)

Someone posted changes to the USDM ITR over the years and said the steering rack ratios were 16.0:1 for the 97-98 and 15.7:1 for the 00-01.

I personally never realized they were different and can't even confirm they actually are.

97-98 = 16.1 : 1

00-01 = 15.7 : 1

Re: ITR rack ratio... (Doctor CorteZ)

If I remeber right the 16:1 is about 3.5 turns lock to lock...will the 15.7:1 make a noticable enough difference to be worth the trouble of upgrading?

Re: ITR rack ratio... (Jordo)

Yes, very nice for $800!!!! I dont consider that an aftermarket steering wheel cause it comes stock on the JDM ITRs even though it is made my momo....

Does anyone know the diameter of the JDM Vs. USDM wheel?

Re: ITR rack ratio... (Big Phat R)

I'm almost 100% sure that changing the steering wheel size does not affect the lock to lock or the rack ratio....No matter what size the wheel is, you will have to turn it 3.5 turns. The effort it would take to turn the wheel would change though with the wheel size...

Re: ITR rack ratio... (Cheeseman)

no he is right about changing to a smaller wheel. The overall turn will be the same beucase the hub is mocing the same distace. But the smaller diameter will make the wheel "feel more responsive" its the same concept of gear ratios.

Does anyone know if there is a way to identify the 2000/2001 rack? I found one, but the guy is not 100% sure its a 2000/2001....

Re: ITR rack ratio... (InfamousRS)

Anyone know if other Integra racks are the same ratio as the ITR rack? I am replacing my steering rack, and wanna get the right one. If ITR has a quicker ratio, than I will go with that.

I am wondering the same thing. I have a 95 LS. I also happen to have an ITR steering rack sitting in my basement. Is it worth it to do the swap?

Re: ITR rack ratio... (jdmb18c)

I always thought ITR's cant turn much. I mean it has to turn a big circle..

I think it's hard to park ITR's compared to BMW or something like that.

just my 0.02 cents
