can I use this steering rack?

Hey guys,

So after removing p/s I've decided to put it back again but I've completely modified my steering rack. So I need another one.

I've got an S5 rx7, the steering rack has one line input (high pressure) and one return.

Getting another s5 rack here in Holland seems to be difficult so at the moment I've got an S4 steering rack but this one has 3 connection in stead of 2 (2 high pressure and 1 return?).


Can I use this rack with modification or should I abandon this rack and search for an s5 one?

I am NOT using factory p/s pump.

Thx

I believe you can...if you block off the Bottom port.

I actually just did this swap and it worked out great, I just blocked off the secondary high pressure line with a bolt and some thread sealer. Many LS swaps do this methods, so having a different pump shouldn't be an issue as long as it has similar pressure values to the stock RX7 one.
