Manual steering rack versus non manual?
I'm wondering if changing my power steering rack out for a manual is going to be worth it? I'm in the process of putting a 20b into my car and would like to put a manual rack into it if it's going to make much of a difference. I was thinking about just putting plugs into the ports. Just wanting some input from people that have driven with both.

I've driven both, and my current car has a manual rack in it. Theres not a huge difference in effort required, and after driving it for a while you dont really notice the difference. I'd just keep the current rack and same the moeny hassle of putting in a new steering rack.

Haven't we ALL heard this
Not exactly sure what the size complications are on a 20B and its oil pan...
But a manual rack is not as thick as a PS rack...maybe a manual rack would give you more oil pan cleanance?

Thanks for the link andrewdruiz. Appreciate it. If the manual rack is slimmer than the ps rack then I might change it out. I currently have the k2rd mounts that I will use as templates when I make my own. I am going to use solid pucks and lower the engine down as much as possible. Might be able to make a little more room down there.

Former Moderator. RIP Icemark.
but remember the 20B is going to add about 45 lbs in front of the axles/wheels making steering effort go up noticiably with a manual rack.
Everyone replying about a manual rack has only a 13B in it, which has the weight behind the front axles.
