NE1 make their own hydroboost brake system? - 05/31/13 05:04 PM
I am looking how to do a hydroboost system for my manual disc e body. I already changed over to the new aluminum m/c. Has anyone made one for their car and if you have, can you make a step by step procedure on how you did it? Also, please include the parts list and if used, which year and vehicle they came from.
Thanks,
Mark

I have one (that came stock) on a 1993 Suburban. They're great.
Basically I've seen only one kind, they pretty much all look the same. The hydroboost is installed in place of the power brake booster. A pressure line is run from the power steering pump, not sure if there's a return or not, but if there is, it goes to the reservoir.
The master cylinder is two ear aluminum in most cases that I've seen and hooks to the rest of the system like any other M/C.

I did one on my 71 Cuda , I sourced the Hydoboost unit off a 95 chevy astro van in the junk yard, then exchanged it for a rebuilt unit from NAPA ,. I did not like skimpy the firewall mounting plate either of them had so I made my own. I made some extras (available at
www.custommachinecomponents.com ) All the fittings ,Hoses and Fire wall plate are available from Hydratech or Tallon hydraulics . I made sure I had a master cylinder with at least a 1 1/8 bore the smaller bore will make the brakes super sensitive . I have more on my build thread here

you might want to try a sn95 mustang, 94-04, hydroboost.
a friend used one to install a 4 valve cobra motor in a fox body mustang.
i have seen them used to install a boss 429 in a fox body mustang also.
