We are swapping an rb20 into my s13. The engine is in, but we have a few questionmarks. Maybe you guys can help us out.

1. The powersteering-pump has 2 connections on the s13, but 3 on the rb. Is this maybe for hicas or something else? What do I do with it?

2. What's this (red circle)? It is connected to 2 tubes (yellow circle) going to the plenum (eccs) and to the inletpiping just before the throttlebody. Looks lke some kind of membrane with a sensor. Is it EGR? What do I do with it and with the rubber tubing leading to it?

3. The harnass in the left is from the skyline. Does anyone know where all the extra connectors and wires are for? Maybe hicas/climat control?

Thanks for the help!

The pump has the additional outlet for the hicas as you figured. I dont know that blocking it off is a good solution for the pump but you could probably grab an r33 pump or maybe see if your old sr/ca pump can be made to fit.

The red circle is air regulator valve which should have a line running in (yellow circle) and a line running into the bottom of the plenum. It is open when the car is cold and closes as it heats up. It gets an air feed from the cross over pipe before the throttle body which is tee'd to go to the idle air valve and the air regulator valve.

Looms are fun. The 2 4 pin plugs are for the eccs and ignition relays, the remaining wires are a combo of climate control wiring, fuel pump speed control, o2 sensor power, wipers, tach out, temp gauge, cranking signal, eccs/ignition trigger and some other stuff i cant remember. Time to get out some pinout diagrams and start tracing wires. It isn't a plug in job, and it isn't a quick job. It's the hardest part of an engine swap imho.

good luck

Take the rear cover off the pump. Then take out the impeller inside (it just pumps ps fluid to the hicas system.) Then use a bolt and block off the rear outlet.

Problem solved...

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
