i drained my rack and ripped everything out. i tried to plug it with shit, but kept blowing plugs out so i said fggit and drained it

You have to pull off the hoses first, crank it back and forth several times with the motor running and the belt still hooked up. Will drain out all the fluid pretty quickly as the pump is still active. Then just take off the belt, pull the pump, and your done.
Have you driven a car without power steering yet? If not, I suggest you try before you remove yours. You might like it or you might not. I personally don't think it's worth the extra couple hp but I'm not a hardcore 1/4 mile person.

Ya and that is true. I had my power steering belt break once and had to drive without power steering for a few days. Im a big guy, 6'2" 220 lbs and can bench more than my own weight, and it was a struggle in parking lots and other places.

I hear you, I am 6' 3'' and would consider myself relatively strong, and it's still a huge pain in the ass to daily drive my non-P/S Teg. Yeah, for sure you should drive a non-P/S Integra first. My guess... you will keep your P/S.

Originally posted by nov0798 the key here cgcivic is that if the car comes with a manual rack then so be it, but if you remove the hydraulic lines from a powered rack, you will destroy the rack. if you replace it with a manual rack then yes the ratio is diffrent and easier to turn. do it right and replace it with a manual rack.
just a question
why are you removing your ps. for the minimal if not minute gains in hp you will free up, it is not worth it.
Thanks ITR206 you know what I'm talking about...I love my setup personally..and I'm sure RTR fucked up their ITR's bad eh?...
