Everything Soccer true and no center console, I just put in a lx gauge cluster still easier then changing your rack and converting your windows to manual
for anyone wondering on manual handling, the dx I have now came with a manual rack. I was planning to swap to power since that's what I've always run but after 6 months I have to say aside from parking, I really enjoy the direct feeling you get from the manual rack at speed, it's very analog and predictable. I'll be staying manual!
Everyone I asked if they knew how to replace my rack or can do the job same answer all the time “the engine has to be pulled to get to the rack “ which meant $$$$ thanks a lot man I watched your video before when I was curious. I don’t know why I never watch it all !
Had a manual rack on my 93 EG dx (d13), With some honda access shocks and springs it was literally the best feeling little car ever. Real fun to drive, not heavy at all and easy to park too :)
@@balloney2175 Absolutely!! You can feel the road SO much better, the steering feels very analogue/manual (not sure how to better phrase it), and the car feels more "glued" in turns (probably from the additional feedback and being able to feel the effort being put into different turns). If a loss of traction is starting to occur you can feel it a lot better too, including when driving surfaces change. Plus, a tiny bit less weight and one less thing for typically low-torque engines to turn. People complain about parking but it really isn't a big deal in cars this light, I've never understood why people are opposed; the moment the car is rolling just 1-2mph it's easy to turn again, while feeling amazing at higher speeds.

Great video and commentary, I’ll be doing a complete front suspension rebuild on my 95 Del Sol and your videos have given great information on how to go about the job... looking forward for more of your upcoming videos.

I used energy suspension sway bar bushings for my manual rack in EK. They are slotted so they work perfect! Energy suspension Part # 9.5106G 3/4 stab bush
Youre welcome! I hadn't seen any good videos for this process so when the time came to perform it for a good friend, I couldn't resist! It was a nice learning experience!
Thanks for the vid I just realized that my reservoir has only one inlet for PS fluid and yours has two... I was driving me crazy to figure out what the extra leaking small hose was for and where it went.
I have never used the manual rack bushings nor have I ever had an issue with binding using them and never had to open any bolt holes what so ever what I did do was order the energy bushing kit obviously in urithane and cut the lip off the edges and used 3m windshield adhesive and bonded the original manual rack bushing to the urithane one and squished it together and let it dry for two days (one day is sufficient ) just to be on the safe side and had no issue with alignment
hope you can help me. My 95 Civic has a bit more "play" in the wheel than I think it should be. Do you know how to adjust this? on the rack or on steering column? thank you in advanced.
Great video as usual! I usually lock the steering wheel by using the seat belt. That way you don't damage the clock spring by accident after removing the steering column coupler.
Hey Jon, I see you are probably using the 5mil light blue gloves from Harbor Freight. Try the 7mil. They last MUCH longer per use as they dont tear so easily. So worth it, try them!
I just bought a brand new rack for my car, and a conversion bracket to take it from power steering to non power steering. Yes, I spent nearly $100.00 extra, but at least I know it should be done right without having to cut anything.
@@GarageBuiltHondas Here is the link: onlinetsm.com/nrgtech-billet-power-to-manual-conversion-steering-rack-bracket/ It is an NRG part, and likely can be found else where for cheaper, but in this case I just used the first link that popped up for the part to actually buy it.
Carstuff111 so I’m planning to buy that bracket for my integra is there any bushing inside of the bracket that’s needed and if so what bushing eg civic or integra bushing etc
I did this swap on my 96 ek coupe I pulled the power rack out and installed the manual rack and the u joint that connects the steering wheel to the rack was bigger on a power rack I had to hunt down and find a manual rack u joint. it was harder doing this than the swapping of the racks.. 1 guy on Ebay had a used u joint, he was in California and it cost me $90.00 !!! I had to buy it so I could get my car back together. I was so mad because the regular u joints for power steering are like $30-$40.. the dude knew what he had and I had to buy it lol
U couldn’t find one at a local junk yard? I have a k swapped 95 civic with integra power rack. I have ps all hooked up but the steering feels really loose. I have all new bushings, Inner and outer tie rods, everything! I can’t figure out why it feels like that. I think I’m gonna go to manual steering because I want my hood to actually close properly and not have fat gaps and what not. If anybody can help me with some info I would very much appreciate it
how does the manual steering rack bind when using the power steering bracket? Aren't all the moving parts contained within the body/tube besides the inner tie rods?
The angle at which the rack is held to the subframe will be different and throw the geometry of slightly, therefore it can wear out/cause binding in a short amount of time. I read on a few forums of this happening to more than one person. Seemed to be a common issue.
When I was approached with this job I did some research and came across a thread on hondatech. This car hadn't had any issues at all and it's driven at the track every year. You can try it otherwise, but we've had excellent results with how I set it up.
grate video and explanations plus trick to get it out easier. hey man i have a ? my civic when i pres the clutch make a little noise when i let up it goes away i think is the throw out bearing am i corret
Possibly the input shaft bearing inside the transmission. Those tend to make a lot of noise as most of these transmissions are old. Ever change the clutch?
Not on this model, the Si has a better ratio from lock to lock, but not really a big deal on a daily driven car. So may argue otherwise but the ratio is still fine.
Did you have any issues mating the u joint to the steering rod/gear? I saw a video where the guy said he had to shave off some material on the u-joint?
Can someone tell me how to loop the fluid lines within the reservoir? My power steering stopped working and I don't want to fix it. But, I need to loop the fluid lines so the rack stays lubricated. I don't have the skills to loop the lines at the rack. Thanks.
It’s a long shot that it’s the same as here, or that you’ll see this, but my 2000 civic has a bad power steering rack, and I’m considering going manual to clean up my bay (plus slight workout at low speeds lol) and I’m wondering if it should be the same, or if the “eg” is going to be totally different.
Garage Built Hondas that’s too bad, guess I’m just going to replace mine with another power rack. If I was to depower the rack I can still remove the pump and a bunch of lines for a cleaner engine bay correct?
You said in the video that some people were having issues with the output shaft on the rack being too small and that's the issue I'm having now, do you have any input on what I could do to make it work?
Yes. The part of the u joint that connects to the rack and pinion is to big for the out put shaft. so when its completely installed the rack wont turn with the wheel.
What's the line with the 14mm nut (the 3rd one on the right)? Is that the high pressure line coming from the pump? The line in my del Sol is leaking. Is it hard to replace just that line?
Please always lock the steering whelle in the middle when disconnecting the rack from the column or else you risk to damage the clockspring on your steering wheel(controls the airbag and horn).
I went to the junk yard to get a manual bracket for a civic 93. Ended up getting a 97 civic del sol non manual bracket. It looks smaller than my civic's bracket, I think its going to fit. I will seen next week to see if it will fit.
Mostly 1994 honda civic dx will have power steering right? but why will have a manual steering rack? I even cant find any clue But I got a RHD manual steering rack front eg Do you guys know which model or spec of the car will have a manual steering rack for eg? If its for RHD will be the best
GBH I have a problem with my accord cb7 I changed the rack and pinion the line pressure and pump and take off the air and still buzzing a tip you can give me
Question. I heard the EF wagons have a quicker steering ratio than say a hatch. But, the wagons have power steering. What could someone do, if they wanted to swap in a wagon steering rack, but keep it non-power steering? Are the insides of the racks swappable? Or is it safe to run a powered rack as non powered (either loop or cap the line ports on the rack?).
Jon, tomorrow I am picking up an ED6! Your great library of videos here has been a mega inspiration. Do you have a video that digs into the front hub/knuckles situation for EFs? Seems like you cant buy hubs new anymore!
Awesome David, welcome to the family!! Check out this video, I completely rebuilt the front hubs/bearings/ball joints on the front knuckles for my wagon! ua-cam.com/video/_V8sBGy0BAU/v-deo.html
I've got a 92 cx hatch witch already had a manual rack, but the turn radius isn't as tight as I'd like it to be. Is there a manual quick ratio rack available for my eg?
i heard inserting the power steering bushing over top the manual one eliminates that problem and where did u get ur spacer from I'm getting ready to install mine now
Doing that would still leave the rack at a slight angle on the passenger side because of the extra bushing. I wouldn't do that to my car, you may create the binding issues and then when you align it, it might still pull in one way more than the other because of the incorrect angle. Which spacer?
Maybe the ground wire from the headlight wiring to the ground plug, if you follow it, all of the wires for the lights go to the same ground in the engine bay. If that wire is broken then the headlight will never work.
You'll need to get a professional alignment once attempting this because it'll be off no matter what. You're better off trying to center it as much as possible just to help your alignment guy out and to not destroy the cable reel.
i'm kind of confused on this. if you switch from power steering to manual rack, where do you connect the leftover steering hose lines to? I don't quite understand how my Honda Civic DX (manual rack) is connected with steering fluid? Is there such thing as a manual rack gearbox?
+Fabian Villarreal It's a spacer that fills the area between the steering rack and the opening in the chassis. Keeps out dust and air from going into the cabin of the car.
e man would you happen to know the website for that piece? i googled juggs and all i got was titties lol. I seriously want to avoid the junk yard if possible. Thank you
Great video wanted to find out do you have to do anything with the electronics that you disconnect from the line does it cause you to have a check engine light do you have to jump them out somehow
a old trick is to pull out all the power steering parts and put a line from in and out and fill it with fluid but this would save some weight for sure doing a whole rack but good vid even if your just changing racks
Yes, the looping of the fluid lines. I've seen it and even some with a breather setup too. I was paid to do the work and this is what he wanted. I would've probably done the same if it was my car also.
Aaron o.o Depends, is it your first time? For someone with experience, maybe complete the whole job in 6-7 hours. If it's your first time, might take a few hours more. I can usually drop a transmission in about 1.5 hours now, give or take 30 mins.
jessie M I'm planning on it! My friend and I should be picking up a set tomorrow night for his EF from a 1990 Integra. I hope to have those installed soon for him.
Garage Built Hondas Thanks man. Yeah i just got the bracket and bushing from the yard about 30min ago (am i able to buy a new bushing? I have only seen new ones for power steering racks) i also ordered a new rack for $85.
the part you say is a spacer..I have a 92 DX with power steering and bought a new manual rack and the rubber gasket keeps falling down because I don't have that spacer

Do you recall how much weight was lost going to the manual rack? My friend says maybe 10lbs but I cant believe that considering the rack is larger, the compressor, reservoir all the brackets ,hoses and bolts fluid etc. Do you remember roughly how much?
On the pressure line coming from the compressor there is an electrical clip connected to it. What is that for and will leaving it disconnected do anything?
So glad I bought a dx😎 factory manual Windows, manual mirrors, no sunroof, no abs, no power steering, no bullshit

Hey Jon my right high beam doesn't work I checked the bulb and it does work do you think it might be a fuse or what would you think it could be?
Check the fuse under the steering column on the fuse box. That fuse might be blown.
Same thing happened to my 90, Never did figure it out.
Maybe the ground wire from the headlight wiring to the ground plug, if you follow it, all of the wires for the lights go to the same ground in the engine bay. If that wire is broken then the headlight will never work.
Awesome video. Was jw, once the rack is removed from the car, how do you know if the steering wheel is center before reinstalling the new rack?
You'll need to get a professional alignment once attempting this because it'll be off no matter what. You're better off trying to center it as much as possible just to help your alignment guy out and to not destroy the cable reel.
Is the process similar on an ek? I have a 96 civic I have been wanting to this on.
Yes, identical. Maybe a few different spots for the bolts but all the lines and accessories will be very similar.
awesome channel..inspirational!
Bugizm so grateful for the support!! Thanks!
i'm kind of confused on this. if you switch from power steering to manual rack, where do you connect the leftover steering hose lines to? I don't quite understand how my Honda Civic DX (manual rack) is connected with steering fluid? Is there such thing as a manual rack gearbox?
Jay M there are no lines for a manual steering rack. There is no gearbox either but there is an adjustment nut in the bottom.
+Garage Built Hondas thanks. 1 more question: there's a steering fluid reservoir. where does that lead/connect to?
Jay M so you have a power steering rack, correct?
+Garage Built Hondas oh yes it actually is. My bad. So if I convert to manual. Steering. There's no need for the pump at all then?.
+Garage Built Hondas and all the houses get thrown out?
What was that piece that was like a spacer under the steering column /white plastic piece
+Fabian Villarreal It's a spacer that fills the area between the steering rack and the opening in the chassis. Keeps out dust and air from going into the cabin of the car.
Thanks ,great video by the way helped out a lot with taking mine out
Fabian Villarreal Great to hear!!
Hey, you should link where to find those brackets if available online
Beet bet is an oem honda parts website.
does anyone know where to possibly get online the bracket for the manual steering rack and the spacer?
nope but i did find a braket kit by juggs for $15 where did you find your parts?
edd hernandez all of the parts were from a donor car
e man would you happen to know the website for that piece? i googled juggs and all i got was titties lol. I seriously want to avoid the junk yard if possible. Thank you
Look up part number 9.5106G from Energy Suspension. I heard that u joint works.
So you deleteted your steering pump
How did you find the correct serpentine belt?
You didn't watch the video.
Do u know if i change the subframe from a manual will it bolt up with no problem
Yes
I’m having issues with the bracket
Hey just wondering if there a website I can buy the bracket or where I can find it any info helps thanks in advance
Check any Honda oem parts websites. It might be in there if it's not discontinued.
NRG sells it for like $79
I have a 96 Integra (manual trans) could this be done? And what is needed..cool video..🌟
I'm not 100% sure. Did they make a 94-01 Integra that had non power steering? If so, then you'll need that rack and pinion for your car.
Whete can you buy the manual bracket and spacers?? I've looked everywhere
There's a link in the description. See if those are the parts you need.
How bad really is the manual steering to the power steering,is really rough ?
Not at all. It's really only a big difference at very low speeds.
Great video wanted to find out do you have to do anything with the electronics that you disconnect from the line does it cause you to have a check engine light do you have to jump them out somehow
Nothing at all.
a old trick is to pull out all the power steering parts and put a line from in and out and fill it with fluid but this would save some weight for sure doing a whole rack but good vid even if your just changing racks
Yes, the looping of the fluid lines. I've seen it and even some with a breather setup too. I was paid to do the work and this is what he wanted. I would've probably done the same if it was my car also.
yea make the customer happy is key but i bet the manual one is lighter aswell did u get a chance to compare weight?
bang bang I didn't compare, but you could tell, my guess would be 6-8 lbs lighter.
This is lateee but why not a power steering delete? Have you seen Chase Bays?
He had the parts already, and I wanted to learn something new.
Where did you buy the steering coupling boot and spacer? I can’t seem to find it.
This was stock. Came from the donor car.
Hey this is unrelated but how much time do you estimate it would take to drop a transmission from a 95 rs integra automatic and replace a 94 integra
Aaron o.o Depends, is it your first time? For someone with experience, maybe complete the whole job in 6-7 hours. If it's your first time, might take a few hours more. I can usually drop a transmission in about 1.5 hours now, give or take 30 mins.
hey for the spacer where did u found it ? cause will it have the same one in power steering ?
please help? Thank You
We got it from the car with the manual rack. Not sure where to find it new if it's available.
Ok ty
So basically manual power steering is the same as power steering without oil on it?
The ratio will be different from lock to lock. The manual may require less/more turns.
You reckon it is similar on a 1997 Honda del sol si? My ps rack is bad and I would much rather have a manual steering rack
Yes, might be exactly the same. I doubt there is much difference but would look around online and cross reference parts #'s with the EG's and Del Sol.
Where do I buy the spacer? For the steering colum?
What type of rims are those 🔥
Where can I find the bracket and also the dust boot spacer
Junkyard for sure. Check your local Honda dealership and see if they can order the parts new.
Garage Built Hondas thanks for replying definitely help me out with this video and by far the best example of installation ✊🏾
Awesome, glad to help out!
Hey jon i was wondering if you could do a video on a rear disc conversion for the ef civic si.
jessie M I'm planning on it! My friend and I should be picking up a set tomorrow night for his EF from a 1990 Integra. I hope to have those installed soon for him.
What size are the long bolts
thank you for this video. I needed this so much. I will be doing this Soon.
Sweet, glad to help!!
I have 3 years will move to fidraulisko corner. You're doing the opposite. Strange! But thank you for the information in the opposite direction !!!!!
lol, nice!
Was the reason for the replacement to get more direct handling, or was the power steering broken in any way?
It was fine. He wanted a cleaner setup and a non-power feeling.
Would this bracket issue be the same for a 91 civic sedan? Im trying to convert it to manual rack and pinion
Yes!
Garage Built Hondas ok thanks. Ill follow what you did as soon as i find a manual bracket at the junk yard.
Just buy a new rack, but get the mounting brackets from the yard. You can get new ones for $80 shipped sometimes.
Garage Built Hondas Thanks man. Yeah i just got the bracket and bushing from the yard about 30min ago (am i able to buy a new bushing? I have only seen new ones for power steering racks) i also ordered a new rack for $85.
I used a double bushing. Check this video for that explanation. ua-cam.com/video/5Z3uOPfmyHw/v-deo.html
where did the spacer come from? mine doesn't have it
mase720 on the part which attaches to the column? the rubber spacer?
the part you say is a spacer..I have a 92 DX with power steering and bought a new manual rack and the rubber gasket keeps falling down because I don't have that spacer
Would po6 intake manifold work with obd0 intake is from 1992 Honda Civic I think or my be a del sol dpfi to mpfi swap
bernie reyes Yes. I'll have the full parts list video up this Saturday morning!
Jon Widmer thank you bro and thank you for answering my stupid dumb questions but it's just that I want to learn how this car work and everything thank you 😂
bernie reyes None of your questions are dumb or stupid, you'll never learn if you don't ask! I'm glad I can help out!
Jon Widmer thank you and yes true your my favorite car channel I wish you could have a lot more subscribers but I like that you answer people questions and not like some other people
bernie reyes That really means a lot and I'm glad I'm your favorite, that is awesome to hear!! I hope you like all my future content that I release this year too! hopefully I'll keep growing my channel!
I wish there was a different way to do this hasn't someone made something yet as far as that bushing?
There's probably no real demand for the parts which is why they're not mass produced.
@@GarageBuiltHondas well I guess I'm going to do the same thing then because I don't want to go Source EG subframe which I can't find
Everything I did in this video was easy and this car is still being driven and tracked to this day with no issues.
Thank God my ED6 is manual steering from factory, still have to take out the ac
Do you recall how much weight was lost going to the manual rack? My friend says maybe 10lbs but I cant believe that considering the rack is larger, the compressor, reservoir all the brackets ,hoses and bolts fluid etc. Do you remember roughly how much?
No idea. Probably 20-25 lbs if I had to guess.
@@GarageBuiltHondas thx bud!
On the pressure line coming from the compressor there is an electrical clip connected to it. What is that for and will leaving it disconnected do anything?
I don't recall. I don't believe there was of I didn't have it in the video.
What rims and tyres size have on the EG?
Louie Anderson Rota Circuit 10's w/ BFG Rivals
Jon Widmer Thanks for the info!
Anytime man!!
this video help alot man, but does anyone know what the spacer is called?
What spacer? Steering column?
Garage Built Hondas yeah my bad. The spacer you had used with the boot on the steering column
What's the part number for the spacer?
I'm unsure. Try looking up the steering rack on OEM Honda websites. It is possibly still available to order brand new.
Is power steering less better than manual?
Not at all. A lot easier actually.
I assume that this is similar for an EF?
+Boosted Fool Pretty much identical, with the exception of the support bar on the subframe, the EF doesn't have that bar.
Garage Built Hondas I just got everything and I'll update you when it's done!
+Boosted Fool I just finished my swap on my sedan the other day too!!
Would a dx subframe bolt up to an ej1?
DX what?
Dx Ej coupe
As long as they are the same chassis they will. You can't go from 5th to 6th gen ttoughnor vice versa.
parting out a 90 integra in el paso need any parts?
I sent you a message
Jon Widmer to my cell or on here? Lol
Cell!!
Jon Widmer just got it and replied lol
