I'm in the heat of the battle, and keep hitting little bumps. Have done research ad seems like everything I thought I read would give me no problem is giving me problems.

Can I keep Power steering on my S14 with RB25? The RB25 banjo bolt is too big for the stock S14 KA line fitting. The RB25 line fitting was cut 3 inches past the end, but looked to be different set up than the stock line setup. Was thinking I could have just swap the fittings.

It's late and I think I'm going out of mind on this swap, I feel like a noob to engine swaping and mechanics posting every 5 mintues.

okay, a fresh new day to hammer once again. Still a little lost on how to keep it. Maybe I over looked some reading some where. Any suggestions?

What I did was grind out the banjo fitting on the S14 line and make the RB25 bolt fit. Just had to get new copper crush washers to make sure it sealed alright. Hasn't leaked yet, but then again my car hasn't hardly left the garage.

Bump

How is this working out for you Darius, still not leaking? I thought for some reason the power steering was a direct bolt on but I guess not? I'm going to have to grind mine down as well. More custom fabbing

That setup worked perfectly for me. I recently changed it out for braided lines though. That setup is working well too except heater hose is not a compatible material with PS fluid.
