Install a Precision Works billet power steering bracket on your Honda B-Series without cutting the factory mount. Follow these steps for a clean, secure fit.
Quick answer
Use the Precision Works billet bracket to replace the factory P72-style upper power steering bracket on your Honda B-Series without cutting or removing the original mount. The key is to confirm you have the P72 upper bracket and then torque the billet piece evenly.
Why a billet bracket makes sense for turbo builds
Factory power steering brackets often interfere with ramhorn turbo manifolds, forcing you to cut or remove them. The Precision Works bracket is CNC-machined from 6061 billet aluminum to clear ramhorn manifolds while keeping the pump supported. This is especially useful on B16, GS-R, and Type R engines where space is tight.
The trade-off is that this bracket only fits engines with the P72-style upper power steering bracket. If your B-Series uses a different upper bracket design, this part won't bolt on without swapping to the P72 style first.
Check your upper bracket style before ordering
The Precision Works bracket is designed for the P72 upper power steering bracket. Before you buy, look at the upper bracket currently on your engine. If it's the P72 style, the billet piece is a direct replacement. If not, you'll need to source a P72 upper bracket or consider a different solution.
This guide assumes you already have the P72 upper bracket and are replacing it with the billet version. If you're unsure, consult your engine's service manual or a B-Series specialist.
Step-by-step installation
- Prepare the vehicle: Park on a level surface, disconnect the negative battery terminal, and loosen the power steering pump belt tensioner to relieve tension on the pump. Always disconnect the battery to avoid accidental electrical shorts.
- Remove the factory upper bracket: Unbolt the factory P72 upper power steering bracket from the engine. Keep the bolts and note their locations for reuse. Label or bag the bolts to avoid mixing them up during reassembly.
- Test-fit the billet bracket: Position the Precision Works billet bracket on the engine and check alignment with the pump mounting holes. Ensure it clears the ramhorn manifold. Do not force the bracket; if it doesn't sit flush, recheck the P72 style and orientation.
- Install and torque the bracket: Secure the billet bracket using the original bolts. Torque to factory specifications for the P72 bracket (consult your service manual). Use a torque wrench to avoid over-tightening and damaging the aluminum threads.
- Reattach the power steering pump: Mount the pump to the billet bracket and reinstall the belt. Adjust tension to factory specs. Verify the pump pulley aligns with the other accessories to prevent belt wear.
- Final check: Reconnect the battery, start the engine, and turn the steering wheel lock-to-lock to check for interference or unusual noises. Listen for any rubbing sounds; adjust the bracket if the pump contacts the manifold.
