S13 HICAS and non HICAS power steering questions

[Shimadorisanni]

I have a question regarding the non hicas and hicas power steering pumps for the Dual cam KA series in the 1991 S13 and newer. I have a HICAS equipped KA24DE S13 and am currently in the process of deleting HICAS. I am going to replace the power steering pump with the non HICAS version, as well as replace the subframe with a non HICAS subframe. My question is, what will I need to do the power steering pump swap? Are there different lines? Different belts? Different brackets? Any help would be appreciated!

You don't need to swap out the HICAS pump. I currently have a HICAS pump on my non-hicas s13 with sr20 swap.

All you have to do is take apart the housing on the pump that pumps the fluid to the hicas rack, and remove the metal blades that slide out inside the pump gear to move the fluid, then put it back together and block the outlet on the hicas side with a bolt and teflon tape or weld the banjo bolt hole. Been running mine like this for 3 or 4 years with no issues. And you don't have to worry about changing lines or pumps.

Here's a thread with pictures showing the whole process on an rb25 hicas pump. Same thing.

Well my high pressure line was toast so i bought an aftermarket replacement line, unfortunately it isnt an exact fit for the hicas pump

When i installed the HICAS pump on my non hicas car, the original power steering lines bolted right onto the pump.
