hey i did my swap this weekend and realized that the LS pwr steering bracket doesnt work very well. Which one do you reccommend???
Also, i have a 92 and the map sensor is on the firewall. But the throttle body i have also has a map on it. Im using the one on the firewall but im not sure where to give it a vacuum signal from. Is it ok to tee it into my fuel pressure reg.???
Use the upper and lower power steering brackets from the 92-93 GSR. They will work fine. Or for temporary use, you can use your LS PS bracket. Simply bolt up the one that’s closest to your dip stick and leave the other one unbolted. Get it as straight as you can. Now, before you bolt up your power steering, put the belt on. Once you bolt up the PS, you won’t have to “tighten” the belt because it will already be tight. Hope this makes sense.
yeah it does. I already cut my ls but in the wrong spot. It works ok for now but ill order the new brackets today.
any info about the map sensor and other related vacuums would help
will the lower LS bracket work with an upper VTEC bracket???
Also is the 92 93 GSR the only bracket that will work
The LS lower power steering bracket will work, but you won’t have much room to adjust it down. Which means pulling the PS belt means pulling the upper bolt from the PS pump so it can adjust down. Kind of a pain.
Most JDM B16A upper power steering brackets will work as well (I think all of them, but not completely sure). Let me know if you have any more questions. Later.

g2turbo: I have the same issue. can you tell me where you intend to order the brackets from? Direct from accura? and also how much they cost? I’m trying to determine if it’s worth it, or if I should just continue getting an upper body workout when I park my car.
The B17A upper power steering bracket costs about $60 from Acura.
