We're working on a 95 nissan 240sx-s14 with a RB20DET swap...trying to hook up some power steering and need to know what's up. We have a p/s connecting bracket from a S14, an adjusting bracket from a s14, and a RB20det p/s pump (3 ports so I'm guessing hiccas). We've rigged a p/s reservoir and the hard lines are still in place on the chassis...I've found the hard line w/ the banjo nut on the end...and found the line that comes from the lines right at the steering shaft (left hand) and goes to the reservoir. I'll thing we'll at least need the line from pump to res.

My questing is ... I see no easy way to bypass hiccas on this pump (no welding/cutting ability)...can it be done? and if not, will a p/s pump from a SR20DET work w/ the rb?, or will a factory s14 KA p/s pump work w/ the rb? will we need an rb20det p/s mounting bracket, regardless of what pump we use or can any other nissan bracket be made to fit this engine and pump? and will the KA adjusting bracket work w/ any of these pumps/mounting brackets? We tried lining up the rb20det pump w/ the KA mounting bracket and it doesn't look like it will work at all (for one, the hicas part of the pump blocks the hole where the bolt needs to come out for mounting, another... even if we file through this part, it looks like the pump will sit lop-sided in the bracket, not allowing for proper belt installation)...we really want power steering on this thing but are trying not to spend a fortune.

Any help would be appreciated. If I get a response on this...I may need help finding an rb20det p/s mounting bracket. Georgia-USA

Thanks in advance...cheers.

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
    • I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.
