OT: Turns to lock ratio

[Marc]

Does anyone know the turn to lock ratio on a GSR vs. a civic?

Thanks.

None of you GSR guys know what your turns to lock ratio is?

Turns to lock ratio? What's that?

For the lack of a better definition turns to lock ratio refers to the number of turns you must turn the steering wheel until it locks. The Civic EX/Si have a 3.6 ratio. I know the GSRs have a faster ratio. A faster ratio rack will enable quicker steering response which is very beneficial while autocrossing/road racing.

If you GSR guys have your original brochure or even a Helms manual it's printed in there.

Thanks.

Thanks rjaffey.

Is there reason to think the 97-01 Type R would be any different?

Is this the same as steering rack pinion gear ratio?
For example, non-PS Civics are 19:1, PS are 17:1, and a GSR rack is 15:1. I think. I know when I swapped my Civic rack to the GSR rack, WOW, what a difference.
