I ran without P/S for about a year. I left a little fluid in my rack and connected a hose to loop from the return to the pressure side to keep a little fluid circulating. Personally I like the P/S installed better, you still feel the road but it is alot easier to steer. It's rummored that after time the rack will get sloppy from no oil in it.

How to for SR20 and RB20 into SOHC car: Cut your rubber pressure hose from the SR engine leaving the rubber part as long as possible on the engine side. Cut the rubber pressure hose on the cars crossmember leaving the hose long as possible on the car side. Now take both hoses to a shop and have them crimp connectors on them. Screw them together and install. Cost about $20 and you're ready to go.

I got another question guys. Maybe this was covered in the message board but I could not find anything about this. I was told to buy a U.S. 93 -up power steering pump for the sr20. KA pump does not fit the sr20 though. Please reply me back if you know the answer. I want to keep my power steering.
