- Have an NA or NB Miata that you want the power steering removed from? This video is the complete guide on how to remove power steering from a Mazda MX5 Miata! I go over all the tools you need, tips and techniques, and everything else you'll need to know to remove your power steering belt, pump and pully, and lines from the car. This method of depowering a Miata Power Steering Rack uses the line looping technique, as it doesn't require the rack to be removed from the car. I'll have a followup video to this one that shows how to remove the rack and delete the internal seal, making it a completely depowered rack.

Loads of peopl have done similar online but what I haven't seen anyone do is show the difference in steering force needed parking with power, looped, seal removed. That would be a good sequence to shoot. (or at least the last two :) )
Wow, I did not expect this level of detail from such an "amateurish" looking video (I mean no offense). Dare I say this was on par for a ChrisFix video as far as information and detail goes and isn't that all that really matters?.
Watch his turbo setup video.... Not bad for a young'n.
Chris fix is the Walmart Auto repair of CZcams, but hey is making a killing off generic videos for the normals. Can't hate the hustle, Scott Kilmer is a bigger joke though
Cash, I’ll be doing this to my 92 next month. I have a depowered rack I’ll be installing. As always, great video! 👍
Bob Hall was quite cross when Mazda decided to do "cut price" base models without PS in Europe from 1995/6. He objected to this because he said they'd designed and set up the car to have PS . These entry level cars came with steel wheels and wind up windows as the UK spec 1.8i (as opposed to alloys and electric windows on the 1.8iS) and they also reintroduced a 1.6i - with a 90hp lump.
If I had AC I'd possibly consider removing it, but none of our cars got it - not even as an option. You had to get a "grey import" Eunos if you wanted AC.
Now that's an interesting history lesson on these cars! Thanks for that!
Hey man what size line do I need for that loop ?
Hey ! I know I’m kind of late but I did the mistake of not looping my line and just plugging them so I’m currently fixing this 😅 I was wondering if you had to bleed the system before looping the lines ? Thank you for great help !
what to do with the belt? my car have only one belt for all
Any method to remove the torsion bar pressure valve inside the rack?
Or just deal with the rubbery steering feel ?
That's the correct way to do it.
bought a ps delete/depower plug kit prior to doing the job. will these be the same as looping the rack or will i have to fully depower the rack for the plugs to work?
I believe you have to fully depower for those to work
Will this be the same process for replacing the power steering pump? My girlfriends Miata powersteering pump took a dump. Need to replace it.
Yes it will be mostly the same process, just be gentler and don't cut lines if you can avoid it
Where's that video on removing the seals?
Do you get a shorter belt to keep the AC pump running?
I haven’t yet because I’ve been on the fence about removing that too, but i think I’ll keep it and get the shorter belt
@@CashedOutCars flyin miata had a ps delete kit that uses stock belts and auto tensions
So what will the result be when removed?
Do you have a light on your dashboard if you do that on a 1.8 nbfl ?
Nope
Hey bro I got a question can I run my car without the ac and ps pump and no belt?
Yes, just don't remove the belt that's behind it for the alternator / waterpump
@@CashedOutCars thank you one love health and wealth
So I'm here because I'm thinking about the exact opposite: I don't have PS right now but I think i want to install it. Will I need a different belt? If so, which size?
Sell me your tensioner bracket!
@@gregolas597a little late but relatable haha, I snapped the bolt for adjusting tension and it f’d up the threading on my bracket😢
Add it you will love it. I'm adding power steering to my second Miata now
Can you just remove the belt? Leaving the pump and all in place? I know you will be pushing all that fluid around but will it damage anything?
I want to know the same thing
FYI I did this the other day. It’s not bad but if you do it the right way I’m sure it will be much better. I’ll put the belt back on until I can get the rack it and do it correctly
Would you recommend deleting your power steering? I’m curious to hear your thoughts!
I have had my PS go out before and honestly with these cars it isn't bad. Worst part is trying to park it but they are so light, a little muscle and you are good. I will be deleting mine along with the AC over the winter break. Great video!
Agreed. Enjoy yours!
Heck no. No benefit unless the 3hp gain is a big deal to you, maybe 2hp. At least throw the old parts in a box so after you crash it from no power, the buyer can fix it back correctly steering,
sounds like you're a cornball who has no muscle to drive a car without PS, let alone a 2800lb car@@henrytoledo4103
What is the main reason that a lot of people decided to remove the AC and power steering?
A lot of people do it for weight reduction and to clean up their engine bay / clear space. Removing power steering also adds road feel
@@CashedOutCars Thanks. Waiting for the next episode.
No power steering is preferred for track cars due to increased feel of available grip
You never provide a reason why we would disconnect the power steering. Does it significantly improve road feel?
Road feel is improved, but lots of people remove the whole system for weight reduction and to free up a bit of power
For a more visual representation... coast around at low speeds in neutral, like 5 or 10 mph or so, and turn the wheel, you'll watch your RPMs drop or almost stall if going slow enough. It ain't much, but power is power.
Yeah 2hp maybe 3hp gain. Not worth it
what size tubing id?
Larger than 5/8, smaller than 3/4
11/16ths? lol@@henrytoledo4103
RIP power steering
It’s a rAcEcAr now🤪 I removed it to make room, then came up with an alternative plan.. luckily I like the way it feels either way
Best to put a non powersteering rack in
It’s an option, at the end of the day a non-power rack is slower due to the ratio though
@@CashedOutCars late reply but you're 100% right, a depowered rack is way to go. Better ratio than a regular manual rack.
Ive just spent over $200 replacing all the power steering components some kid took off and didn't put in the trunk when i bought the car. The extra 3hp you get from a ps delete is a ridiculous reason to do it. This is a non tracked car, daily driven and yeah im over 21 years old and i like power steering,
As someone who did this years ago, I miss my power steering and might put it back since I’ve got other parts laying around. My V8 Miata had power steering and is very nice to drive compared to this now
sooo uhh....how you tensioning your AC compressor LOLLLLLLLLLL
There’s a belt that fits on perfectly for just AC and not PS, it’s a very common solution
@@CashedOutCars what size is the belt? I want to do this mod but don’t know which belt to run, how would you tension the belt?
@@CashedOutCars I want to know the size of the belt too!
@@NeroTse do you have to run a ac belt? Or could you just leave it alone?
I like your hot air intake
Thank you my friend it is currently being replaced by a turbo, check out the channel for that
Bob Hall doesn't like this mod 😉
A lot of people don’t! It’s certainly not for everyone
ain't Bob Hall's car now is it
@@thelifeofguyontrue that but deleting it is pointless for a mon track car
@@henrytoledo4103 if I like it better that way, it ain't pointless
Just speak normally, you sound like a machine
Beep boop beep
