PS Pump offset?

[paintkilz]

hey guys ive been trying to install PS on my S13 Redtop in my S14..

i have my pump mounted to the bracket and have my tensioner but literally the tensioner has like 3/4" of offset from being able to bolt to the pump and secure everything..


i have a non hicas pump and bracket for sure...as well as 2 different tensioners and the 1 sr one does line up but its offset so bad.


has anyone had this issue? or is a spacer supposed to go in there? most cars around here i get a chance to check dont run PS...

any ideas? thanks for your times though!

sorry for the delay and the shitty pic quality..hard to get the camera situated right with radiator hoses and IC piping in the way..

you can see theres like 1/2" offset between the 2 but they line up fine and everything.

You need a different bracket obviously... If you need too, you can try a KA power steering pump bracket and see if that helps the situation any.

im not sure if you read but the bracket lines up perfectly. its just offset. i have a ka pump bracket and that will not work...even more so because the SR requires an SR bracket..im using a ka pump, sr pulley, sr bracket.


does anyone know if theres a physical difference between s13 and s14 SR brackets?
