I have searched this and found some info.

Just recently got an s13 w/ super hicas and have an rb20 to go into it. Is it as straight forward as a non hicas car?

Will I have any complications with suspension work in the rear? I am not into drifting so I would not be installing coilovers or anything major, I'd really just like to have lowering springs all around, is that an issue? Probably a stupid question but I wouldnt say I am the most mechanically inclined person out there. Just wanted to know if lowering the car with springs will affect the hicas system at all..

Thanks

my s13 was a hicas car, works fine.make sure you run the abs sensor for the front right wheel alongside the rb20 efi harness else your abs will go poop.or give me money and i'll wire up the harness for you so it works

Hey Carl, I met you at Nopi last year, you may have saw my old car. The engine I have is from my old s13 w/ RB20 which was wrecked back in june. I'm not really sure how to go about swapping it over with the harness and such.. Do I need to mutilate the old harness in my wrecked car to get it into my new one? I know a couple people around here who are going to help with this because there is no way I could do it by myself.

Another quick question, in the wreck I had, my rb20 power steering pump was cracked where it bolts onto the engine. I am assuming I need to get another one, I think I read somewhere (you said it i think) that the power steering pump from the super hicas 91-94 s13 would work. Any information on that?
