I have my h23 power steering bracket, but it won't fit.
Lol
so what I meant is that what can I replace it with cause h23 poswer steering won't fit

MikeJuvi07

lol I am in the exact situation your in now. I too just dropped my h22 in my si. But I just left the original power steering bracket on there with the original pump. Come to find out the damn si hose doesnt fit on the h22 pump. and the h23 pump doesnt fit on the h22 bracket. And vice versa. WTF??? I mean the only way to fix that is to yank the main power steering hose off a damn vtec body right? Or you can get a workout while you drive.

Oh and btw what did you do about the clutch line going to the transmission. Not the metal one actually on the transmission going to the fork but the rubber hose with the banjo fittings. Mine is too short and the fittings are to big.

Hhhm yeah it's hella ***!!!! But I heard the f22 braket might work for the h23 p.s.
So I'm gonna go yank a f22 braket off and give it a shot. I let u know how it goes.
And as for that idk cause my friend was working on that part for me
while I mount thr alternator and ac compressor and stuff.
But I will ask him and get bsck to you.

Also.
Is ur si prewire for vtec?

MikeJuvi07

yea it is. I just bought those little wire splicers that you just snap the wires into, so im just going to cut the connectors and just splice everything together. You need to have the p13 ecu too or else it wont work.

ok so if we are pre wired than what do we have to do?
Just plug and play right? Do we need to run anything back to the ecu?
Just connect the vtec solenoid and the pressure and that's it right?
We don't need to run any wire to ecu or do we have too.

MikeJuvi07

ONo I have a link to a page that explains the whole thing but im on my phone and cant copy and paste. But yea you will not have to connect anything to the ecu. Actually if you go to google and type in the notorious h22 swap it should be the first link and it explains everything.

Thank you
so what are you gonna do about the p/s bracket?
I might just majestic honda for the bracket.

MikeJuvi07

im probably going to order the hose that will actually fit the power steering pump /

isnt it just the h23 bracket that dont fit well? so wouldnt it be better to get the vtec h22 p.s bracket?

if you get the hose what will you combine it with to make it fit ?
