i have a 92 240sx hatch, with a sr20det black top ready to be dropped in
im debating on ditching the hicas and using the non-hicas pump that came with the sr. whats involved in removing the hicas? how can i install the non-hicas pump on the hicas car? what lines need to be blocked, what needs to be removed etc.

my sr came with a non hicas pump, i bought a sr hicas pump & bracket from a forum member. when i tried to swap out the pulley with an after market set i have, it turned into a nightmare (pulley set below) that pulley will not come off, i tried every kind of pulley puller, soaked in pb blaster for days, used acetylene, still won't budge. is there something that i am missing here? i had a buddy come down, who has much more mechanical knowledge the me, to try and he had no luck either.

what i don't understand is why the sr non hicas pump is held on with a 19mm nut, while the sr hicas pump is pressed on, does anyone know if the pulley in the pic will even fit the hicas pump? the p/s pulley's are the ones on the top right of each set. it seems to me they will not fit the hicas pump, but i cant get the pulley off to see, the ka and sr hicas pumps look identical to me, besides the bolt in the back of the ka pump.

my vote is to get rid of the rear rack, keep the front rack, use the pump
