Noticed the Red Cap on that resevoir under your hood? I've got a question though...is the pressure switch necessary on the power steering line - does it need to be hooked up to anything else...it has two wires, that I know. Let me know, I just priced a front assembly for my wife's DXs steering rack needs to be replaced.
Sorry NC Rex I always had power steering in my hatch http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif Stock!
no way Eric. the owner before you had to have added it. if you remember, my first 4th Gen Civic was the same year & color as yours. that is not a feature i would of forgotten! i have yet to buy a hatch with power steering.
you're just a lucky bastard :P

The only Civic's in the 88-91 arena to get power steering were the Civic EX Coupes and the Civic Wagon's. At least I am almost quite certain this to be true..I've never seen a Civic Hatch with power steering.
HA! and you complain about it being slow...
what?! You cant tell me nobody else has power steering?! Its a 90 DX......hmmm thats odd, I guess I shouldnt complain!
what about the jdm si's? my zc had a power steering pump on it.

sorry Eric, only the EX 4 door 4th Gen got power steering. i guess put it this way, do you think they put power steering stock on the DX before the Si???
but, that's okay having to crank my wheel around keeps me in shape http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif

I'm gonna blow you outta the water ami http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/wink.gif
Gonna have to agree with bigb8116 and everyone who has seen power steering in DX hatches. My friend has some sort of one off DX, its like a crusing model i swear lol. It has AC, power steering, its a auto, and...it has the Si passenger side mirror. Its crazy little car, bit on the slow side though lol. So i sold him my old airbox with the hole cutout and the K&N filter, perfomed some of the DX free mods, and he said at least it can now climes hills faster hehe. When i get my thermal he's also gonna buy my muffin shooter hehe.

WANTED: Nice Honda engine with great torque looking for relationship with 89 civic. Civic enjoys autocrossing, big pimping, and power slides. Turn offs include sentras and hitting chevy pick up trucks. Got a big muffler tip if you like to tear shit up.
LOL - I'm with Eric on this one too. All Aussie 4Gs had power steering - hatches and 4 door GLs, 5 door Conchertos and the 4WD 5 door wagon, not to mention the CRX. It wasn't an option, it was standard. I understand it was an option on the JDMs though - my current 4G has it standard too http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif
Being RHD would make it easier to fit I guess - damn it must be tight with your LHDs.

Sounds like my Civic, had all the options, A/C, Power steering, auto, Side mirror, rear speakers, etc!
umm..my old 89 dx hatch had power steering
Oh hell...I'm gonna keep my eye's more open, but I've never seen a hatch before with Power steering other then the Non-US versions. Maybe Honda did offer it as an option at the time of purchase.
Never have I seen Power Steering on a Hatchback in the Midwest area. Of course I've never seen an Si in the parts yard, only DX and Base hatches and the Civic Coupes and Wagons.
Eric you aught to go racing popping that belt off. It makes a big difference. Loosen the two 12mm brace bolts, and use the thumscrew to take it down, pop the belt off, snug up bolts, then reinstall when done. I'll bet you drop 3 tenths http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif
my dx was also automatic, with a/c and power steering
Automatics had power steering. Period. Anyone know how hard it is to swap into a 5 speed?
Never seen a JDM 4th Gen Civic Hatch DX with power steering either. And I am not from America.
There's kinda a good bit of parts needed to swap it in...but they won't cost you jack if you buy them all at once at a cheaper junkyard. When I have time, I'll post it here, what you'll need...I think I saved it on my harddrive somewhere.
