So I have a 92 S13 with a dual cam KA and I'm pretty stumped as to what my problem is. Ill give you guys a quick run down. I bought the car with no power steering, no lines or anything. I have replaced the rack with a known good rack, a PS pump that looked pretty new, but it was used, a high pressure line from an S14 (They are very similar and I know people run S14 lines on S13s without issues), and a return line. So heres where things get weird. When I start the car and its cold, I have great power steering for about 15 seconds, and if I keep turning the wheel, it gets harder and harder to turn until I essentially have little to no power steering. When I rev the car up past 1500, the power steering gets way better and when its at about 3k its pretty much perfect. The system is also entirely bled with new Dex/Merc in it also. Any help as to what this could be would be super appreciated. Thanks! ~Joe

Sounds like there's a fluid restrictor that's too small, may have something to do with the s14 parts. Good luck
