RB20 into S13 -=- How to retain Power Steering?

[Pentaxis]

Just like the title says.... We've pulled the KA, and removed the RB outta the clip, swapped the crossmember, and now we are trying to figure out some of the wiring, and how to get the power steering to work.

Do we need to use pieces from the Skyline clip too, or just some custom hoses? Seems like most people just delete power steering, but we want to keep it if at all possible....

Thanks guys!

I am not sure how similar it is on the RB20, but on the 25 I simply looped the high pressure line from the S13 back a little and attached it to the 25's powersteering pump. I bought a new hose from autozone for the low pressure line and hooked it up. That was all I had to do and it works fine.

ya i didnt have to buy anything extra other than a fitting. i cut the lines in half and bent them where i wanted. put the fitting on inbetween them so i wouldnt have to bother finding the right fightings. that was pretty much it besides taking the pump apart and taking the impellers out of the back half. i also epoxied the banjo bolt and tightened her down.

Yeah, ended up doing the same thing. Just used stuff off the R32 Clip and the 240 combined with a new fitting, and voila!

i didnt use anything off the clip but ya its easy stuff

Heard its easy if you had a 91+, but mine was a 90 so I ditched PS all-together.

[sparksta]

i have an 89 and it was real easy. dunno not that much to it

[NISMO_RB25]

This all depends on what you do. If you are swapping the crossmember then the year doesn't really matter. If you are using a mount kit and the KA Xmember then the 91+ are easier because the lines are on the same side as the pump.

We ended up using the RB20 res. and mounting on the left strut tower, and then we put the power steering cooler from the R32 in as well.

what is everyone doing about the rear section of the P/S pump??I have already taken the vanes out of the rear of the pump but should i just plug it up now??

Yep... I would just take the original bolt with you to a hardware store to make sure what you get will fit.
