87 RX7 turboII Power Steering
I recently purchased a 1987 TurboII RX7 but it doesnt have power steering can anyone tell me how much it costs to put power steering in it and hoe much of a pain it is to do it?

Welcome fellow enthusiast.
They really don't need PS and PIA value is relative. I have heard that some of the early ones may not have all the connectors you need on the harness as well.
If I had my druthers I'd have a manual rack. More feel, less crap in the engine bay and one less thing to break down.
Not really what you're looking for, sorry.
Cheers

look around for parts for sale in other section here on forum, it should not be that expensive
what u need is PS computer (goes under the steering rack), PS pump with bracket and rack itself (i am not sure, but i think clips holding rack to subframe are different as well, so make sure u will get those with rack)
swap is doable, done it couple times
first time without lift and with just hand tools it was about half day for one person, give or take, always something could go wrong, snap bolt etc

Yea i just think that the manual is a bitch to work with at low speeds i would much rather just perfer a power steering set so it not much work at all and im not tryin to do anything to high performance in it so i think the power steering would be plenty of response for me.

If you're rack is good.. I'll swap ya!!!! I want rid of my PS!!!!!!!
Only thing I don't have is the mount for the engine block... I HAVE mine on, but I cut the bottom of it to make room fo the oil cooler lines, so, if you have AC, it won't work for you!! If you don't have AC... it will!!

drive it for a while, you'll get used to it. I have a PS rack with the belt removed and its not that hard. The manual rack is even easier. At first its really difficult but its really just a matter of getting used to it. My mom could drive my car and she's tiny
