To the original OP. I would not even dream of trying to convert a 94 Civic to electric PS assist. It could turn out to be a real engineering nightmare.

Just drop in a manual rack and you will have a perfectly working system without all the added complexity. That's from the perspective of 60,000 hours of auto repair experience.

I have driven cars that weigh 1000 pounds more than that Honda with manual steering. If you just get the car barely moving the steering effort for the manual is nothing.
