    Default Civic Power Steering question !? help needed

    ok i have a 94 del sol and i am about to put in a civic d15 motor from a 93 civic Vx and the motor does not have power steering(no bracket for ps and crank pulley has space for only 2 belts) is it possible to put a powersteering pump on that motor? Does the power steering pump have its own belt or does it run with the AC? any help is appreciated

    vx didn't come with powersteering and i think it was an upgrade to have a/c. maybe try to swap crank pulleys and brackets from your del sol motor.

    What motor was in the delsol before?
    Gas is too expensive to drive hard and my insurance can't take anymore fast.

    and change your steering rack if the del sol doesnt have power steering .... if it does then your good but the S model del sol didnt have Power steering .... you will have to swap out the crank pulley with a D15B7 motor that had power steering .....

    why do you need power steering on a car that small? Hondas without power steering turn as easy as go-karts.
