ok I have a da integra with power steering and I have a bad pump and a bad line (leaking). just curious what kind of damage I would do to the rack if I just took the pump off and the lines until I could get new ones. ive seen plenty of people running no p/s with a p/s rack, but I dont wanna screw anything up any worse than it is. Is it ok to run it with no pump or is that a terrible idea?

 

I think I have a da powersterring pump in my garage. If located near va beach pm me.

 

Wouldn't really hurt anything, think about it, your rack is just a rack and a pinion, you aren't going to hurt anything.

 

just make sure you cap off all your hoses and open entries so no dirt get into your rack and pinion(for future install). then you should be fine . i took my ps out about 4yr ago and no problem here. the only damage i see coming from this is if you keep running your pump without any fluids or bad hoses and burn that pump up.

 

thanks for the input, the pump is already bad and I dont really want a pump there anyways, seeing as im tuckin everything, so im just gonna cap it all off and see how it goes

 

You can also use a manual rack out of an 88-91 civic. Thats what I did in my old DA
