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...

      There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:

      And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.

      Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.

      I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.

      Deeve, I don't suppose that you've made any progress on this? My Stagea has the exact same problem, and just like you, I've read through as much as I can online, with no real progress. My car isn't throwing any codes at all, which is a little frustrating. I've changed plugs, checked the wiring and harness. A new MAF gets here next week, but I'm not hopeful it will solve the issue.
