http://forums.racebread.com/index.php?topic=1568.0 there ya go. cost is about $80 shipped for all the fittings if you buy from http://www.anplumbing.com/ much cheaper than dohc lines and wont ever leak considering that line is rated for like a billion psi lol. just dont forget to disable the hicas portion of your rb20 pump (search for a how-to on doing this. very simple)

ps. i'd recommend throwing on a p/s cooler while you're at it which is easy as can be, just get urself a decent cooler and put it in line with the return line going to your p/s reservoir.

There is a guy on the board that makes custom lines for around 60 bucks (depending if you want a sensor or not). I just got mine the other day and looks like its going to work perfectly.

resurrected.

that link isnt working. anyone have a definitive guide to hook up power steering. i have a custom high pressure line, but on the return the sizes dont match. i also tried using the lower return flange from the ka24e but i found out the rb20 flange surface is flat whereas the ka24e isnt. is there a way to hook it up without fab work?

did you guys use the dohc reservoir as well? the rb has that hicas pipe which i dont need. looks like the best thing to do is relocate it to the us drivers side too amirite? thanks guys for helping a rookie

I used DOHC lines but then my turbo discharge was going to be in the way.So I'm using the DJbutton line, with a PS cooler and DOHC reserviour with a larger drain.

I believe I posted pics up on here somewhere.

I still have the DOHC lines if you want them.

Don't remember the difference between the reservoirs except for the fact they're on different sides of the engine.
