Seriously WTF!!!!????!!!??

Ok so i spent all day out in 30* temps and 15 MPH winds and accomplished nothing.

The PS high pressure line people say fits the SR does not fit. (DOHC KA S13 line). The mount on the frame does not line up at all and it just kinda hangs out there.

The PS reservior that people say works (s13 KA SOHC) does not line up at all with the bolt holes on the shock tower.

On top of that, my harness is wired completely 180* backwards.

So i spent $60 on the line, $20 for the reservior, $100 on a harness i didnt need, and all day out in the freggin cold for absolutely nothing.

Can someone please, PLEASE, post pics up or let me know what PS lines and Reservior works. And i dont meen works like half the line hangs out in the engine bay and doesnt bolt up or you only use 1 out of the three bolts on the PS reservior. I dont want my car looking like a chop shop hooptie.

im using the stock lines and reservior on my 93 coupe with no problems. bolted right up. "all dohc stuff"

you dont happen to have a super hicus pump do you? if so thats why it wont bolt up right. post a pic of the pump.

The reservoir will work man, you have to use different holes on the tower though. It will sit further back toward the brake booster. My friend did it in his car... I'd show you a pic if I had one but I'm just saying it will work. Also, what do you mean the harness is 180* backwards? Do you mean it's an RHD harness? If that's what you mean it's not a big deal man, just extend the wires.

you have to have 91+ dohc stuff sohc wont work

I'm tellin you man I know from experience, the sohc power steering reservoir WILL work.

PLease elaborate on this.

Its an s14 SR in an S13 body.

[92vert240]

Im telling you , it wont. The holes do not line up. I have the boost control solenoin in place and theres no where for the PS reservior to bolt up. I have the S14 SR in an S13 in case there is confusion i want to clear that up.

What it comes down to is, everything is jerry rigged as per NICO forums to get things running. As far as making it look good and OEM forget about it. I will be making my own brackets and lines from here on just like i do on my grand national. Sure i can bolt the PS reservoir in with 1 bolt and make it work and i can make the PS line work as well as long as its not mounted and i have about 3 feet of hose chillin in the engine bay. Seriously im not building a go cart here, i want this to look and perform to par.

I guess i'll have to resor to taking things into my own hands. If you want a job done right, do it yourself.

I'll post pics of what a job done correctly looks like.

okay, I've got an s14 sr in an s13 chassis too man so I know what you're talking about.I'm not saying you have to ghetto rig anything. I guess if you REALLY want to do it right then just get a dohc reservoir and a custom p/s made and then you won't have to worry about it.I hope you don't think I'm all about ghetto rigging lines in my car? I definitely don't do that. I actually have steel braided teflon coated lines going from my brake master cylinder and clutch cylinder all the way to my calipers and transmission. I know about fitment

Im going to have the PS line made and use the PS reservior from the clip. It has a removable bracket that mounts it. I'll just make my on and have it line right up!!

I didnt say anything was ghetto rigged on your car, just that some people are satisfied with "that'll work i guess" . haha Not me .

[92vert240]

Here is what im working with. I want the pump to mount on the 3 bolts you can see sticking out.

[rustest86]

you need a stock s13 dohc reservior to mount up there. and as far as the pressure line i was under the impression that all the pumps were the same, so the line should bolt up. but maybe not, but anyway i think earls makes a stainless braided line to replace the flex hose and the metal line all the way to the rack. that'll solve that problem right there.

man thats a clean bay you must have stole that from some old man who never drove it and it sat in a garage. whats its got 200miles on it....... lol

[Stripes]

That swap looks good so far man!Now to point how how to mount the sohc reservoir, you need to pop that plastic cap out of one of the holes further back on your strut tower. That will work as a spot to bolt up the side of the reservoir with only 1 bracket. I've seen it done, but I think you outta just use the reservoir from a dohc anyway.Are you doing anything to the motor or is it gonna be a stock swap? It looks really clean

Actually i got it from an old man who kept in in a garage since 1991. Guy had to be 80. It had 64k when i got it now its 73.

As far as mods go they are little, FMIC, Wolbro 255, 300ZX fuel fiter, 3" from the turbo back, stae 2 clutch, and a boost controler. Nothing crazy. If I want to boost 30 lbs i get in the other car

heres another pic

Nice, I like it. Every time I see a notch top in an s13 I notice people always do their intercooler piping different, hahaha.I wish I had mine on the road but it wont stay running because I'm un-tuned with 550's :/ Oh well, I wanna build it anyway

Here is a write up i did on the intercooler piping issue.
