I have an s13 and I took the power steering pump off but i would like to still have fluid going into the rack so it doesn't burn out. What is the best way to make a resevoir that would keep fluid into and some lines that would feed the fluid. Please let me know what stuff I would need to make this. Thanks for the help.

I used plugs from lows and capped them off right at the rack. I have read that's okay in other forums. I later pulled the lines and resavoir off a 92 to get power steering to work after my swap.

Pull the pump,pull the resavoir completely out. You should have 2 lines left, one that went to the pump and one that went to the resavoir. Fallow both lines down to the rack and pinion. Unbolted the lines and cap the off with the right size plugs. Why are you removing powerstearing anyway. You wont notice the power difference I garranty it!
