S14 - Rb20det Swap - Power Steering Help!

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.

      Pillar gauges

      See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars

      bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 🙂  I know what it looks like

      Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
