Long time no post guys,

I'm thinking about adding powersteering to my S13 and was wondering what everyone is doing for their cars? My engine came with no steering pump or brackets, I think I recall a few members using different nissan pumps and such, which brackets did you all use...? I found an old post started by Lemhead16 with the appropriate fitting sizes and such so I think im good there, any help will be appreciated.

I used the VH pump and brackets with the KA pulley flipped backwards. You have to get a 5 rib belt and cut two ribs off because I couldn't find a 3 rib belt that was the right length. Mines worked perfectly for a couple thousand miles now.

I'm using a vh pump with internals and pulley from a 93' sentra had to bore out the hole on the pulley to fit the vh pump, but the splines were the same size. Its kind of hard to describe but if you go that route you'll see what I mean! Good luck

you can always use a toyota MR2(sw20) pump, they're electric. just wire it into the alternator. that's what I'm doing on my Z32 swap.
