Power steering on SE
I bought a GSL-SE and I though all SE were power steering but this one is not. Now my question is, can I install a power steering system from another SE to mine? If possible, how hard it is and is it worth it? Had any one tried this before? Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you,

i think you'd need the pump and assuciated lines, as well as a new steering box.

The GSL was the model where it was an option.
Luism12lm, Does it look like there are lines run back into the steering box?

I would leave it off, the 1st gen's power steering sucks. Just get a better steering wheel and all will be well.

The “steering gear” of a SE power steering system and the “steering gear” of a non-power steering SE, are they the same? Both “steering gears” look the same in the Mazda RX-7 1984 Workshop Manual.

luism12lm. The steering boxes are different.
Can you post up a picture of the box on your car? Thats all I need is view from the top, not the bottom.

My US 85 SE is manual steering.
I don't think horsepower is the only reason racers like manual steering. It helps them know when the front end is losing traction by getting too light more quickly than power steering can.
