Hey guys. I've had my RB20-S13 for over a year with no p/s and it's about as fun as having fat Elvis sit on your face.

I've already tried the HICAS pump w/ the rear veins removed and rear outlet plugged and it didn't work out that well. After that I saw a write up about a KA24DE pump on an RB25 so I just bought one but it doesn't fit on the main mounting bracket (the one that bolts to the block) so I assume that the RB25 bracket must be a bit different.

Does anyone out there know any other options to get this thing on there or do I need an RB25 bracket (assuming it bolts to the 20 block)?

Yep, about an inch too long. It looks like even with some cutting and ghetto-rigging it probably still wouldn't work.

Thanks for the info on the SR pump Carryl. That's definitely a possibility for me if the 25 bracket doesn't work out.

This is for the 25 but you may be able to use it for the 20 too with some extra modification.

I mounted a ka pump right up to my rb20 bracket but am missing 1 screw on the adjustment bracket, but it works

Input is always appreciated, however, this post is ten years old! I'm sure OP has figured it out...
