Remove Power steering from a SR20 in a S13.

I don’t feel like a big mess or blowing steering rack after rack.

Thanks,

why dont u just use ur power steering? make some custom lines…i assume that u dont have any power steering at all.

u just cant have power steering on a 240 unless u replace the whole rack and pinion set up. its all set up for power steering…i dont see another way. maybe another member knows how

Not my fault if your forearm muscles suddenly turn to jelly and you manji off the road and die.

What you need to do is “loop the lines”

The problem with ditching power steering is fluid and air can get trapped in the rack, and totally booger your steering. If you just cap off the lines, or plug them, this will probably happen.

You can run the lines open (messy) or just connect one line to the other on the rack with rubber line.

Chop the lines, wrench the wheel back and forth a few hundred times to get some fluid out, hook up the hose, hose clamps x2 and go.
