do I need to use a KA DOHC power steering pump? Because the one that came with my CA doesn't look like it's going to work at all. it has 2 banjo fittings on it, and one hose fitting, and I've only got a hose and 1 line to attach to it.

You're looking/hooking something up wrong. The CA pump works fine. Pics would help.

you have a HICAS pump....try a ka24de pump ,see if it works. ive never tryed to fit one, but who knows.

you can also prolly plug one of the banjo's off, the rear one.

just hook up the front one.

I've heard that you can't just plug it up. You've got to take it apart and remove the impeller in the rear housing.
