Is low level PS fluid bad for the pump (asked he THE stupid question)?
Can I simply short the line, bypassing the "cooler" section for the time being?
A buddy recommended using NAPA "transmission cooler kit" instead of Mazda line. - Good idea?

Thanks.

Thanks.
Easy job? Time?
Would you ever boil the fluid while DD?

Part#, by any chance? Where did you mount it?

Duly noted. Not planning on it, as the car is multi-function (DD& track& auto-x). ' sides, having driven a couple without ps, can't say that I like it. (at least on Miata)

You can go to Jegs and take your pick based on inlet/outlet and size. Any cheap Derale would work.

Or get the Mazda OEM from someone here who depowered.

There is always the fancy aluminum BEGi one... for $130

If I still had access to a lathe, I could crank these things out wholesale. Profit margin on these must be incredible.

Factory non-PS cars feel completely different than a PS car that has had the rack correctly depowered. I'd never, ever go back to PS even on R compounds in autox. The feel is fantastic.

Saedrin: Would you recommend a factory non-ps rack or depowered rack, and why?

Depowered factory power rack. The ratio is higher on the power rack, and when you remove the seals and weld the shaft (har har) you'll have a direct connection with the perfect ratio.
