This kit is designed to replace the factory engine-driven hydraulic power steering pump with a compact Volvo electric-hydraulic power steering pump. By removing the pump from the engine accessory drive, the system reduces engine drag, cleans up the engine bay, and provides consistent steering assistance without depending on engine RPM. While at the same time preserving ground clearance and the sleek 80s body style.

The kit is built around a purpose-designed under-fender mounting solution that keeps the pump securely positioned and out of the main engine bay. It is ideal for engine swaps, simplified accessory setups, custom builds, and anyone looking to modernize the power steering system while retaining a hydraulic steering rack.

Key features include:

• Designed for the 1988–1991 Honda Prelude
• Converts the factory hydraulic system to electric-hydraulic power steering
• Uses a readily available Volvo electric power steering pump
• Removes the factory engine-driven power steering pump
• Reduces accessory load on the engine
• Provides consistent steering assistance at all engine speeds
• Under-fender pump placement helps maintain a clean engine bay
• Designed specifically for custom and engine-swapped applications
• Developed and tested by Crooked Tuning

Depending on the selected kit configuration, additional hoses, fittings, wiring, fluid, and a compatible Volvo power steering pump may be required. Professional installation is strongly recommended. Verify all hydraulic connections, mounting hardware, fluid levels, and electrical wiring before operating the vehicle.
