rb20 power steering help

[pepegurr]

Ok guys i need a little help here, i just got in my new pressure side line for my RB20( thanks Djbutton ) . Now heres where the help comes in, I have NO clue where the lines go as it's been almost 2 years since i had power steering and there were no lines on my pump when i bought my motorset. I'm using the R32 hicas pump(already disabled the hicas) with my S13 rack and im not sure which side is the pressure side and which is the return side. I've already been searching but not much help has been found, mostly just obscure pics and not much else. Any help would be greatly appreciated , especially in the form of pics or possibly a diagram. Thanks guys.

im using the SAME setup on my RB20 S13..

HP line of the front of the pump runs to the LEFT hole on the rack..

RIGHT hole on the rack comes up to the reservoir

reservoirs BOTTOM line goes to the pump

What do you guys use for a feed line from the reservoir to the pump? The R32 pump and KA res are different sizes.

Can I use a reservoir from a different nissan? Or did you guys find adapters?

I used 5/8ths rubber line from NAPA. It fits snug on the reservoir and stretches just enough to slide right on the RB20 pump. I got mine all hooked up but now i've got a slight leak on the return fitting at the rack . I have to try to find a way to get it to stop leaking and ill be all set.

What kind of rubber line? I was under the impression that heater hose eventually weeps PS/ATF fluid and that was the only hose you could buy from parts stores was heater hose and of course fuel line but I haven't seen that in big enough sizes.

it does weep/seep, trust my I have a nice greasy spot on my frame rail from it.best bet is to go to autozone or a hydraulic shop and get proper PS hose there, autozone is the ONLY place that seems to carry ps hose...even napa just looked at me like was a moron.
