It’s the HICAS solenoid. You’ll need a non-HICAS reservoir, and prehaps a non-HICAS high pres line as well (the HICAS one is shorter, and the banjo fitting is at a different angle). ---

I am having the same problem as well - I put a 97 KA into my S13 and bought an S14 High Pressure hose for the conversion, but the fitting is different to the PS pump - if I have to find a different HP hose you can take mine - but what hose do I need? are the hoses different between 95’s and 97’s? ---

I almost forgot, the non-HICAS return line is different (much longer, with a big loop).

Like Racecartech said, SOHC stuff is different from DOHC stuff. IIRC, the S13 non-HICAS DOHC and S14 pumps are virtually identical, except for the way they are mounted, and the S14 one puts out more pressure. You will need the S13 non-HICAS DOHC high pressure hose. ---

The S14 hoses and PS pump works A-OK now. I’ll post a thread of my budget build sometime, nothing impressive but I have the track slut I want to run now
