I should be in for a time of it then

I wished you lived closer lol...

I guess this is another project to add to the list, damn you!!
I will convince Simon to help me, he's not big! Pm me your number, I might have some questions, if you dont mind.

Kick *** write up, awesome... this site needs more of this!!

 

Most definitely. First time I went to test it I was going 40mph and slammed on the brakes and the abs kicked in on dry pavement. My tires are 325/65/18 all terrains and weigh 120lbs each, so its not exactly an easy to stop combination.

I have only had to do one panic stop since I did this swap and right after I remembered why I wanted to do this swap so bad; if I wasnt wearing my seatbelt I wouldve kissed the windshield.

bodyguard, I wear a 54 regular jacket so I have pretty big shoulders to fit in there. I put a towel over the brackets on the seat since they are sharp to lay on. Thanks for the compliment, ill pm you my number.

 

thanks guys... looks like i have a reasonable understanding now. worst case scenario, i get an older hydroboost with the master cylinder and buy (or god forbid: make or have fabricated) some high pressure lines and do the same thing with the T fitting on the low pressure side that you did. i'd been looking at a new MC, but this is miles above...

i have this one question:

if i get the hydroboost with a MC, the ONLY things i should have to concern myself with is: the pedal placement and the hydro lines, right?

i wouldn't have to worry about the pushrod length, right? only if it stops too good and i want to adjust it, right?

 

You dont need a new master cylinder, but if you reuse your old one it will sit at a slight angle. Not a big deal if you keep keep fluid in it.

Booster, lines, and pedal are the only components you need.

 

Found a good place to order Hydroboosts from if anyone is interested. Check out G&R Auto Parts (gandrautoparts . com) They have HB units for $75, some of them are factory new un-used units. They also have PS pumps for $50. They sell on ebay too, but it might save you a few bucks to just call or e-mail them. I ordered my HB unit and PS pump today for $150 and I had to pay tax since they are in OK, out of state buyers shouldn't have to pay tax.

Here is one of their ebay listings. LINK

 

Ahhhhh all your photos are gone. Ok maybe not gone but not showing up for me in the thread. It says bandwidth exceeded on them.

 

yea I went over my bandwidth for the month, but here they are in the folder.

Thanks. I made my way over there from the properties of the missing pictures.
Probably won't need them anyway. I think have everything but some hose for the return and only work til noon tomorrow so I'm planning to pick up some rubber hose and install it after work. Hopefully I have the proper tool to get the pulley off the pump. I think I will see if I can borrow the proper tool from a parts store. I look forward to having brakes that don't suck!

 

Hydroboost is awesome! Wish I would have done this long ago.

 

whats a hydroboost doooo???
