Default Swap to power steering, windows, and doorlooks?

I'm prolly buying a 1994 DX. It's the best prospect for the money (already has mods on it that I can use after I do a B16A swap inot the car... header, exhuast, sport shocks and springs, etc.) But I'd really prefer to have power door locks and power windows on the car. I know it'll add weight, but it will be a daily driver. I'd also like to know if it's possible to retrofit power steering onto the car since it doesnt have it.

Prices on parts would help greatly as well.
Thanks in Advance to anyone who is willing to help me with this small piece of my hybrid plan.

power steering is for wusses :exnbp:

but reallly tho, i'd imagine u need the whole steering rack from a p/s equiped 92-95 civic or integ. integ will have a faster ratio (i think).

im gonna add after market door locks. it sucks having a remote alarm with no power door locks. i have strong fore arms, so the manual windows are no match for me.

i don't think you'll be able to use the header that's already on the car.

and i would think you could get all the parts you needed from a salvage yard or something. seems possible, but i :dunno:.

I actually think P/S would be too much of a hassle ... and just add more weight.
So how about just the door locks and windows?
These things are both mainly cuz I dont wanna have to reach over all the time to roll down the pass side window. and I want an alarm that will be able to lock the doors remotely.
Thanks!

If yoru car has a stock manual steering rack, you can upgrade to a power one without the power assist. The stock rack has a really long lock to lock turning radius. I converted my CX to a GS-R PS rack but it required the steering shaft/steering rack CV joint and the rear engine subframe from a GS-R. There's more effort at a complete stop, but extremely more responsive.

For power windows and locks, consider the aftermarket. Talk to a good stereo shop and they can probably do something for you. I had power windows put in an old S10 blazer about 5 years ago and it was only arond 100 and they worked great. Locks souldnt' be too hard either. Seeya.
