okay ive searched for a good while now and i cant find much. Im trying to hook up my ps lines. I went from sohc to dohc and im turboing it fyi. I got the ps pump and ive got one line hooked up that goes from the pump to the rack and pinion. Im trying to figure out how they all hook up and what goes where... ive searched for diagrams of the lines here and i can't find any thing. I've also searched through the fsm and all i find is "super hicas" system heres the diagramwhat i dont understand is where the heck is the rack and pinion in this pic? i see the ps pump but the thing in the back of the car is completely throwing me off so if some one could help clear this up that'd be awesome and if any one has any good diagrams of the ps lines for a ka24de please post them so i can figure this out!

your picture pretty much illustrates what gets added onto the car if you would have hicas. SO if you don't throw that picture out. I bet there's someone on this forum that has thier engine ripped out that could take a pic for you good luck

reservoir -> pump -> rack -> reservoir

unless hicas then add one extra pump -> rack-> reservoir

the hoss from the res is usually pretty big i.d. it should be hose clamped at both ends. the hose from pump to rack is a hi-pres hose w/ maybe a banjo fitting on the pump end and some sort of reverse flare compression fitting on the rack end. same type connector from the rack back to the res which should have a clamp on the res end. (res=fluid tank). all components f system have one in/out. just connect them all in proper flow.
