Hey Guys,
Just was wondering if anyone has the power steering and or the A/C setup on there sr20det motor. If so, where did you get the supplies and how hard was it to do? Summer is now ending, so A/C isnt on the top of the list, but parking in parking lots and trying to manuver is tight places, power steering could be alot of help!
I still have my old KA, so if I can use any stock parts to make it work on the SR let me know. Thanks for any and all input.
Power Steering and A/C Setup?!?
ill field this one... It depends what year your car is for the A/C. im assuming you have an s13? If its 91-93 you can use the ka24de compressor, if not you need to take one off the 91-93 or use the Sr's. Power steering same thing, you gotta take the rack and pinion off a 91-93 and all the lines. And if you asked those two questions and have a 89 or 90, u probably dont know u need a tach off a 91-93 also. Basically having a 91-93 240 can save u a lot of time in the install. Personally i say screw power steering, who needs that ****. Datsun style all the way!
I have a 1990 240sx, with a 1993 SR20det engine already installed. I have had the new engine for about 3 months now. I knew about the tach, and have the new tach installed, but didn't know about the other situations. I love the car to death, but I am a everyday driver and it's nice to have a few standard options such as power steering in tight parking spots and A/C in the hot *** heat here.
i take it you didnt install it yourself or else youd know about this stuff. Just take the rack and pinion and all the lines for the power steering from a 91-93, and take the ac compressor and the lines too. Then just hook it al up and ur done! u have to go to a place to get ur ac hooked up with freon though... but dont worry about that now
Did you also buy the car with the SR installed? Mine will have A/C since that is not going to be a problem hooking up. Im going to drop the power steering just because it is a loss of power, and iv gotten used to driving manual steering datsuns, its not bad at all. Of course the Ac pump is a major drain but there is an on/off.
