When i'm doing it i replace out the p/s pump and rack so you can remove the complete system

[Darenm]

wt pump and rack do ya use lad 33 is it??

want to have to done rite so i dont run in to problems after

[slithertooth]

Yeah usually use pump rack and lines from a r33. you do loose the speed sensitive steering but i like it a little heavier, more feel from it. all pretty interchangeable though ,think alan opel used all s13 parts and some say the s14 rack is a quicker rack

[Dunnedriftin]

This for a r32? iv done it if so, replace the steering rack wth a S13 & a built up RB housing / SR20 pump.. you need to compare the rb rack & s13, th rb rack has a machine finish on the inlet / outlet & the sr dosnt so you will have to either change the connections or get a good file & file it flat so it seals with the original bolts & copper washers. Hope it makes sence when you see the 2 racks side by side.

alan put an s13 subframe into mine so he should be able to tell you all you need to know!

[alan opel]

i looped them right at the p/s cooler line by drivers chassis leg! i didnt see the point in replacing pump an rack!

[Cooldrft]

I agree ,no need to go replacing the pump or the rack.

Another option is the take the pump apart "4bolts" + take out the metal vanes.
You can then block the rear outlet on the pump + plug the return pipe to the power steering bottle.

Yes something that makes sence 2 me Haha

Was it just 2 lines looped job done ya?

Do I need 2 do anything else?

[slithertooth]

I'd do the full job, much neater especially after swapping out the rear subframe, going that far and not changing the pump would bug me, daren have cusco lock out bars if you just want the handy option , even have a new pair of oem ball joints
