Why not just use a nc miata rack? Basically a stock hydraulic rack.Stock mounts only need cutting and repositioning slightly and you can still use stock tie rods as well as the stock steering uni. That rack looks to be mounted further forward as well as lower than stock which is going to create extra bump steer by the way? Nc racks are just over half a turn faster too lock as well.
Honestly never thought of about the mc miata. I figured since they are so close to the rx8 it would of been electronic to. But between e36 and nc the ratios are pretty much the same.
Hey mate im from australia and have a 2004 rx8 and doing a aussie barra swap. I dont know much about the rx8 im just wondering when doing a manual steering converson can i get rid of the electronic steering module
Great video mate, very helpful ! With the mr2 power steering pump, how does it "know" the amount of assistance too give you ? Is there an rpm signal that it needs etc ? I did an rew swap on my rx8 a few years ago and for whatever reason the factory power steering stopped working. I have tried everything and been back and forth with adaptronic but cant find the cause. I would love to do a hydraulic swap but cant figure out how the mr2 pump adjusts for vehicle speed etc. Cheers !
This video helped me tremendously! Thank you for making it!
No problem glad it helped you out
Hello great work mate.....do you think this could be done on a RHD rx8 with the 13b?

@@flatoutinc1040 yeah nc are pretty much a rx8 chassis. Only a couple hour conversion. Nd are electric pump
This the route I'm taking, NC Miata....my goodness, don't look at the Wisefab prices.
How did this go, did you find a bump steer kit for it? Or did you go with the rx8 outer tie rod ends? Awesome video btw
We had to take little brake from the project but we will start back up it in two weeks. But I will do a video on finishing all that up.
@@flatoutinc1040 awesome. Looking forward to the next video
great job ! thanks for sharing

So with the mr2 pump it’s just a on or off pump. A lot people use a inline valve to control the pressure to the rack.
@@flatoutinc1040 Ok cool, Thanks for that mate, greatly appreciated.
How are u running the pump for the rack?
then what about the eps, does it still work?
How come you changing it, more angle ? New swap ? Or ? And Would Rx8 Owners still be able to do this conversion and have a rotary
So with the electric rack it’s tied into a few other thing that I got rid of. So this was just a solution. It is rew swapped.
How much you charge to do it
Sorry man I don’t work on other peoples cars.
