Miata! But instead of looping the steering rack I disassembled the whole rack cleaned all the old fluid and grease out used new grease in the rack. then sealed all the ports and reassembled.
Don't you need to worry about all the air within that line? I would think that line should be full of fluid and have as minimal air in there as possible.
I went to 3 highly renowned hose shops in my area to get a hose made and they all said they couldn’t do it. Was very surprised. I appreciate you linking the product from Valex.
Boosted John refine movement has a fantastic video on power to manual conversion in the “correct” way. Cause the main issue with looped lines is the pressure that can build in the power rack. If you want to keep the quicker ratio but want a more permanent solution I’d definitely reccomend checking their video out!
To anyone wondering the looped systems are a way to delete the power steering pump, belt and lines. It does not make steering better in any way. It's a bitch to turn at a stop and very heavy even while driving around. You will also have some slop in the steering from the non pressurized pinion. If you want you can swap in an oem manual rack or you can remove the rack/pinion, weld the pinion solid, cut the pressure seal inside, pack with grease and reinstall. This will give you decent steering from a stop and very nice steering once you start moving. I only loop racks when necessary for a specific build or time crunch. If you are not on a deadline of some sort remove and disassemble. You will be glad you did in the long run!
Thanks Buddy, was wondering whats a loop. I have a civic 4 door with hydraulic ps, its leaking and expensive to repair, i dont drive that much, should i just remove the reservoir, pump and lines? Do i need to put a loop or can skip it?
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY 100% CORRECT!!! I DON'T KNOW WHY ANYONE WOULD DO THIS UNLESS IT WAS AN EMERGENCY OR TIME CRUNCH DEAL!!! Stupidest shit I ever heard of!!!
The big reason why people do it is because it adds horsepower. Less wear on the crank when you delete the belt and less weight when you delete the pump
I used the method similar to this in speed to delete power steering from my Ford F-150. I simply put the truck in park in the power steering motor blew up
You may not be aware of it. But there’s also a torsion rod or bar in all power steering gears. That will leave a rubbery feeling when it is used without the pressurized oil feed. Good drivers will feel the difference between an actual manual steering system versus a bypassed power steering system
where did you find that line to loop your system? Did you make it yourself? I'm not doing this to a Honda I'm doing it to a Nissan frontier truck just curious if you had a source to buy lines like that.
I mean, "IF" you watched the video then surely you would've noticed the name right there on the bag that the small pressure "loop" hose was in!!! Not to mention that he even mentioned the name of the company AND PROVIDES A COUPON CODE!?!?!? WTF are you doing during these videos??? Nevermind... I prolly really don't want to know!!!
Hey buddy I know this is an old video but I got a question for you I have a 1988 GMC 2500 can I do that power steering thing with my steering power steering pump and make it manual let me know please thank you sir
Not sure if im going to get a quick reply but worth the shot, could I use these fittings for a 94-97 accord steering rack? and if I wanted to vent it how would I go by doing that?
Would this work on a 2nd gen Camaro? I just bought a power steering gear box with a 10:1 ratio, haven’t properly installed it yet. But if your method works on any car then it will save me some time, work and few horsepower
Mine has deleted PS. I love it and not once have I regretted it. I have a 1994 EJ2. completely gutted and cut so it should be around 2200 with me in it. At those weights the only time it’s close to being annoying is parallel parking. At 100+ MPH the car feels like a feather floating on the road so I can only image what it would be like if it still had PS.
Hey man, so I’m in the market for a delete kit for my 93 Si hatch. I have a three hole system and I’m wondering if I can still get this kit and if it comes with that block off AN fittings or not. Idk if you got it from the hardware store or wherever but I don’t feel like spending $320 on a chase bays kit if this does the same thing. Let me know if that block off thing comes with the kit and if it does I’ll buy the part right now with your code lol thanks
@@boosted_john so i tried to order the product through their website and it wasnt letting me checkout, so i went to their ebay and picked it up there and sent them a message saying your discount code. so even though i didnt get the discount maybe theyll give you credit for it lol. what i ended up doing was just listening to your voice and finding the correct fitting to purchase on amazon for $6 lol
Yes, just out of curiosity: what is the benefit of converting your power steering rack to manual steering? A heavier steering doesn't mean sportier steering, even GT3 race cars have power steering that can be turned with 2 fingers today. Without power steering driving your car legit turns into a workout, it's just no fun anymore. There is tons of bump steer and you can't steer with one hand anymore unless you're a chronic masturbator.
John , i only have two power steering ports need to connected , i dont see the other 3rd port. is it ok ? why some other guy using resevoir reroute ? is your way is good enough ?
the only thing we have to do is subscribe to enter to win? what happened to the whole video and process on how to enter that was posted a couple months ago? seemed like a pretty cool idea instead of just choosing someone at random
I want to make it so I can throw a valve (or have a computer throw a valve) and go manual. Save fuel over 20km/h. Or maybe I should replace the PS pump on my 07 Kia Cerato/Spectra with an idler pulley, and use an electric PS pump and (when adding AC, as my car does not have AC) an electric AC compressor too.
My first car was a civic EX daily with power steering, I ended up buying an EK hatch as well eventually, no power steering. My current daily has power steering and my Integra does not.
I'm really hoping the 17k people who watched this video didn't do this. Looped steering racks feel bloody horrible and are notch, especially without some way to release the pressure difference when the temperature inside the rack changes. If you really want to keep the standard rack, take it apart and cut the centre divider out. Greg Peters did a good video on it. But a manual rack has a slower ratio to increase leverage. Trying to park with a manualised power rack sucks balls! Just get a manual rack.
At last some one talks sense. This method is only for fools. Do the job right, take it to bits, remove the center plunger, retention the shim properly, use a torque wrench.. DON'T play around with your steering if you don't know what you're doing.....
rjr 4949 this car is from 1993, and has an engine swap. Lol. A/C, and power steering were deleted with the engine swap. And it just naturally has crank windows.
Its not the same. You will still have all that extra liquid fighting against you when you try to steer the car; adding extra resistance. The best and more expense way, is to actually remove the power rack and install a manual rack. I've actually tested both methods on my car; the manual rack has better steering response and more control of your car than the deactivated power rack. But that is just my opinion.
The best option that no one does is keep the power rack ratio but instead disassemble it to cut off the seal in the center which creates drag and then weld the pinion to reduce any slack. Once reassembled without adding fluid it only takes a few more pounds of pressure to turn than a power rack. Check out the Miata rack depower for reference
With what car are you rockin manual steering?
Miata! But instead of looping the steering rack I disassembled the whole rack
cleaned all the old fluid and grease out
used new grease in the rack.
then sealed all the ports and reassembled.
Alexander Hibbs that’s pretty cool!
Eg hatch, i got it from d13 eg3.
Don't you need to worry about all the air within that line? I would think that line should be full of fluid and have as minimal air in there as possible.
GrimDonalbain it doesn’t really matter if there is air in the line. It just matters that there is some fluid to lubricate the internals of the rack.
I went to 3 highly renowned hose shops in my area to get a hose made and they all said they couldn’t do it. Was very surprised. I appreciate you linking the product from Valex.
Nice, I deleted my power steering awhile back and just put a bolt and clamp through the hoses, this will look cleaner 🤘
Did a full manual rack swap in my ek. Feels better than a looped system. Looped is definitely still a good choice though!
Kyler Latta thanks for the info! I’m sure I’ll try out a manual rack at some point.

My car got got a power steering delete and I was wondering if you added power steering to your car

I think is better if you take the rack apart, there is a thing you can weld used for the power steering that will get some play away

Just purchased this kit and used your code thanks a lot man 💯✊🏼✊🏼
curious id this line would fit on a 4th gen legacy rack! cuz id buy it now xD
Your videos get better with every upload
Just Pasha thanks Pasha! I can only pray 👏🏼

How did you get rid of the power steering pump? Would have to reroute the serpentine belt? Hate to leave that awful noisy honda/acura pump in the car!
Can i do this with my 02 firebird trans am? Bc i want to loops my power steering lines
how to do manual to power steering ??? can you share a video or link for found kit for that please
Time has come for me to do this mod on my eg. How did you find it in the long run did you come across any issues with looping it? Thanks
how about the performace its hard or soft

I did the loop but mine is really hard, how do I make it less hard, I’m talking really hard, do I need to put fluid into the rack??
You should have fluid in the rack. Yes.
Will it work for EK civic coupe
Not sure if im going to get a quick reply but worth the shot,
could I use these fittings for a 94-97 accord steering rack? and if I wanted to vent it how would I go by doing that?
Why does it say rsx. Which one do I get
Hi. Can this be done on a 2002 Toyota Camry 4 cylinder? The power steering pump pulley keeps breaking because the rack and pinion won't hold fluid
did you ever fix this? i have the same issue
Super helpful!!! Keep up the good work my man..
Kyla Scott thanks!
Would that fit my rsx

Yeah it’s honestly a pretty solid move to delete it if it’s not your daily.
Did you loop it? Install a manual rack? Or tear down the power one?
@@XTheJenovaProjectX Looping is safe and cheap I’d do that if you don’t care about perfection. Ha I miss that car.
@@SlowDelSol I’m torn whether to loop it or convert my power steering. No engine in the bay so I have tons of room to work.
are you eventually going to post a "after a month of driving the looped rack" video?
Will Cutlip yep!
Is it still holding up any issues without a vent??
So far so good
@@boosted_john apperciate the replay, I got a 97 prelude boosted f20b swap, I wanna do it but I always thought they had to vent
im late (in my youtube recommended and i honestly dont know how i missed this for a whole year) but i daily my e90 without powersteering :)))

Complete bullshit, you can't steer a racecar with 2 fingers.
I've been wanting manual steering in my 98 Integra but I'm not sure if it's a good thing for a daily driver. #boostedgang
El Cachanilla I feel ya. Please read the description of this video. I wrote a huge explanation to help you decide. Hopefully it helps 🤝
my integra has manual steering factory, its no issue
front wheels are only 5j wide though

“Chance” being the key word. 😉
Just remove the hydraulic center seal from the rack and have true manual steering.

the correct way to remove the piston seal

Use a oine wrench not an open box wrench
The added line with no fluid just added a large air pocket.

Why would you want to delete powersteering?
