i jacked my car up in the shop today and tried to find out what the noise was and we figured out that its the inner, and outer tie rods, the dust boot is also split and both sides are mesed up so looks like i have a job on my hands now haha, it could also be the whole rack, and if it is thats a huge job.

from what I remember reading, all 94-01 integra power steering racks are identical in ratios.

i think they are the same (94-01 integra 92-95 EX civic)
Now is the time to take out Power steering if you dont want it any 92-95 civic /94-01 racks will work just have to get one with power steering if you need that

i already dont have power steering, i think i gotta just change the inner and outer tie rods and dust boot, but i was seeing if it was better to just replace the whole rack?

Well depends where you are, i can only recommend a guy in the UK but shipping overseas would be crazy expensive as its not small or light at all
Integras have power steering so as far as i know you just plumb it all in and works as normal, but i havent done that much research on it, maybe a serach on
www.honda-tech.com would help as im sure there are people on there who have done the swap

Cause some people are anal and think the 1hp and 10lb's is going to drop their1/4 mile time by a half

well i tend to think that no power steering is less jittery and a more direct and precise feel. ie you get more feed back from the tires/road. i prefer not to have it my self.
