Im in the middle of re-installing power steering after my sr swap. I bought the dohc lines off some guy from NWN and the douche shorted sending me the high pressure line. Just the flexible hose w/ banjo fitting on one end. I got everything else.

I saw http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...42507 and thought that might be a good idea, but Im sure I could make it myself for cheaper. 100 bones after shipping is pretty steep for hose and a half dozen fittings

Does anyone know if those Earls fittings can stand up to high pressure power steering?

Does anyone know size of the fittings on the rack and at the pump?

Hey! You will need -6 and -8 lines and fittings. save yourself some grip and go to a speed shop locally and get them. I'm doing the same thing on Projekt 200SX. $100 for some lines and fittings is a lot.

Thanks! Incase anywone is also interested in this I found some more info, need to use PowerFlex hose and stainless steel adapters (2200psi), not fuel pressure hose and aluminum red & blue fittings (300psi).

Also here are part numbers from Russel for the power steering adapter and couplings http://www.russellperformance....shtml

EDIT: found all the info I was looking for here:

I thought it was -6 and -10 fittings? So are the S12/S13/S14 pump and rack fittings all the same? I started a thread about this a few days ago and got links to buy the sh*t already made but I want to make my own. I have viewed a few sites that tell you how to do it but I got no difinitve info on S14's.
