I found some time, so I went and connected all the power steering hoses to the motor. The SR20DET uses the same high pressure line as the DOHC KA24DE motor, so I was all good there, just swap the ends, the reservoir hose did need a little bit of creativity to get it on, but after a cut here and there on one of the hoses I had (don't remember KA or the SR20 one), I had it connected and put in the power steering fluid. I kept turning wheel from left to right and I did manage to get few bubbles out of the system, so I just topped it off and I am going to leave if for now, and check again tomorrow. I also got the clutch fan onto the water pump pulley, now the car starts looking more and more like a real deal.
The to do list is as follows:

  • Radiator
  • SMIC
  • Cold Pipe
  • Heater Hoses
  • Shifter
  • Radio Harness
  • Downpipe
  • Tranny fluid
  • Exhaust
I will probably only get the 3/8 to 5/8 adapters for the hoses, and try to put on the radiator and the cold pipe in on Sunday, rest will have to wait till some time in the week. Which could also have little time as I could be going down to pickup my S14, but its not set in stone just yet.
