hicas on sr20det

[wickedpelf]

so anyone who has an sr20det with hicas know how hard it is to install? got a website that has instructions or something?

Its no different than a non hicas SR except for the PS pump with the extra high pressure line.

Wrong, the harness is also wired differently. to accomodate the misc sensors and whatnot. If you don't modify the harness your hicas will not work.

I'm not exactly sure which wires need splicing I had phase2 do my harness.

[discern]

Don't bother with HICAS

Why do you say that. Have you driven a HICAS car. I'm just curious because I actually enjoy it.

[pampadori]

there are 3 extra wires on the dash plug, two black and one white. so you will need a hicas sr20det AND harness. or you will have to add a few wires from the ka harness to the sr harness.Shaun

I was actually thinking of something like this. I have a stock 91 SE Coupe, and wondered about swaping a HICAS system to it. Worth it?

The Hicas system is a love it or hate it kind of technology. You really need to experience one at track speeds to truly "feel" it and then decide whether you like it or not. Some people like it, others feel it's unpredictable at speed, most have never even heard of it and hate it just because others say it sucks.

As for swapping one in, finding the parts shouldn't be that hard but there is alot involved. There's a hicas computer, a couple of sensors, the rear subframe and p/s pump and not mention all the hoses and misc wiring to make everything work properly. For the amount of time spent TRYING to make it work your probably better off buying a hicas car trying it out and then selling it if you don't like it.

Bottom line is you need personal experience to make an informed decision on something like this. I went hicas on accident (didn't know what it was when I bought it) and I doubt I'll ever take it out.
