My car is 1990 CX it doesnt come with PS, can i convert it to PS? If so can someone point me to the right direction? I dont know how it works, what do i need to replace? also i just want a straight forward swapping parts.

I hope maybe i can use the whole steering assembly from SI or DX.

Help a noob out.

Thanks

You need:

• PS pump that mounts on the engine block
• PS belt
• Engine pully that has extra pullys on it (one for AC, one for PS)
• PS resevoir + mounting bracket
• PS lines
• PS steering rack

These are pretty much the parts I took off of my car when I converted to non-PS.

You dont need powersteering. IMO i like not having it.

You could save alot of money and time by not having it.

Or you could do what Charles said and buy the above mentioned
and have it installed.

Thanks alot, is it DIYable? i dont drive the car now just spend sometimes to work on it, mainly for experience. Any special tools? I dont have air tools ..... yet.

I want PS because my car is..... auto lol.

Btw, so i must get parts from an EF if i want straight forward swap? Anyone knows other gen's parts would work?

no.. doing a steering rack is a huge pain in the ***.

Buy a 4 Gig memory cards so you can make pics of the DIY. lmfao.

Daunting task nonetheless somthing i wouldnt cut corners on.

Honestly I would scrap the project and start another, since it's auto and all. At the end of the day it wont cost you mush to start it properly.

But as long as you take your time and understand some basics the job isn't that hard. Depends how you go about it. If you get the entire subcradle from a parts car it;s only four bolts to swap everything over.

Air tools arn't necessary, just have a breaker bar and and an extra set of hands to support everything.
