I have an EK hatch with power nothing and no A/C to boot. I don't mind not having A/C, but nothing having PS is causing me some understeer. I'm planning a motorswap in the near future (a C1 or C5) so I see this as an chance to add PS.

1. Is it possible? (enough room)
2. What is the approx. cost i would be looking at. (I assume it'll be cheaper if I have it done at the same time as the motor swap.)


Please advise, Thanks.

it probably wouldn't be cheap... and your car understeering isn't attributed to not having power steering... if your car didn't come with power steering then your one step ahead with the better steering rack gears... plus you loose power putting it on

you'll need the power steering pump, resivour, hoses, belt, rack.

imo, stick with the non power steering, much much better and more fun. ps is just a lot nicer in a daily driver though.

That is until you slap on 50 series and try to parallel park..

I do prefer the feel of non ps at speed. You get nice road feel.
