R32 gtst with rb25 swap and pump Hicas removal HELP!!!

[Dhoward24]

So I’m new to this whole r32 thing and I’m sure this topic has been covered ten fold. Hours of research got me nowhere. But my situation is slightly different. I have a R32 GTS-t with an r33 rb25det swap. my issue is removing the hicas.. I have the R33 power steering pump that has one pressure line, yet I have that extra pressure line the R32 uses for the hicas pressure line that I’m trying to loop in to the power steering in order to maintain my power steering. I’ve deleted the Hicas pump from the frame rail, looped the cooler line and removed lines running all the way to the back. I’m just trying to now loop the second pressure line Into the power steering system.  Would it be easier just to find the RB20 Gtst power steering pump with two pressure line fittings or is there something I’m missing and it’s a simple fix?

as stated, super new to this please help!!!

Um.  What?

The HICAS pressure line is completely separate from the power steering.  When I did exactly what you're doing (but with a Neo), I simply removed everything to do with HICAS (the thing on the frame rail is a pair of solenoid valves, not a pump).  With everything HICAS removed, the power steering pump simply connects to the rack via the original line (adapted at the pump end owing to being a different pump) and the return from the rack goes where it always did.  That's it.

And don't loop the cooler.  Plumb it into the return line.  You need the cooler.

I followed a diy about looping the cooler line into the line that was removed from the hicas “solenoid” as you said.. following THAT line, it eventually ends at the second pressure line by the pump which I believed to have been for the hicas. Which again I don’t have a 2 line pump it’s a single line pump which I have connected to the other pressure line that goes to the rack. My issue is the line the diy says to connect to the cooler line only runs to the open pressure line I have no hole for.

For example. In the second picture below, The red dots are the line I’m talking about, the blue is what I tried to loop but tracing the red lines back from where I tried to loop it in it came to that second pressure line which I don’t have connected because my pump is a non hicas pump, it only has the one banjo for the one pressure line, as shown below in the first picture to the left.

It's not rocket surgery.  Work it out yourself.  The PS circuit is dead simple.  There are 3-4 things in it (depending whether you put the cooler into the return or not).  Just hook them up.  Following a DIY that does not work for your gear is a fool's errand.
