SR very tough power steering rps13 sr20det

hi.

after my engine rebuild my power steering is very very tough.
like no power steering at all.
i already did air bleeding like 40mins long. front wheels in the air, steering L&R like a mad man.

interesting is, theres no whining sound when in max steering lock.
also the RPM is steady! i remember the rpm going down in full lock before

any ideas how to check the power steering?
belt is almost new and proper installed.

the only differnet thing is, i installed tein tie rods while the engine was out. so i had to steer a couple of times without the power steering pump / without liquids. but i thought its not made out of sugar and it wont have any problem.

maybe theres still air in because i did some steering without any liquids?
should flush the whole system?

any ideas?
