Hydro Boost Install Diagram

1: Removal and installation of Hydro-Booster. Click image to see an. If the problem still exists, go on to the Hydro-Boost test sections and troubleshooting chart. Hydro-Boost (Hydraulic Boost) This power brake booster obtains hydraulic pressure from the power steering pump, rather than vacuum pressure from the intake manifold as in most gasoline engine brake booster systems. Procedures for removing, overhauling, and replacing the master cylinder are the same as previously outlined.

I started with the Hydratech Hydroboost kit which came complete with everything needed for the basic installation. After reading many many threads about this install, I discovered a modification which runs the low pressure return line direct to the Power Steering Pump. This eliminates a 'T' fitting in the basic kit and prevents any fluid feedback to the HB unit. Parts for that mod were Tallon Hydraulics part# 8203 (5/16-24 O-ring male to -6AN male), 2-Russell 613161 90* -6AN hose ends, Russell 670850 -6AN Fuel Cell Bulkhead fitting, Tallon Hydraulics part# 1451 2pack of 3 Hole Hose Clamp Separators and Russell Stainless Steel braided low pressure hose. First drain the PS pump reservoir, remove old PS hoses from pump and steering box Then remove old master cylinder brake pedal rod from the brake pedal Disconnect the front and rear brake lines and remove the old master cylinder I made a new gasket to fit between the new HB unit and the firewall, I used Felpro# 3157 rubber fiber gasket material from NAPA Auto Parts. Then I installed the HB unit.

Before installing the Wilwood master cylinder, install the two high pressure lines and the low pressure return line. Installation of these hoses is nearly impossible if you install the master cylinder first (ask me how I know). Remove the preinstalled brass 90* fitting for the low pressure return port from the HB unit, and replace with the THI 5/16'-24 O-ring male to -6AN male fitting on the HB unit. Be sure to torque ONLY to 10 ft. As the threads for this fitting can strip very easily.

Use one wrench to hold this fitting while tightening the Russell part# 613161 90* hose end with another wrench. Day 2) I drilled a hole above the fluid line in the PS pump reservoir and installed the Russell #670850 -6AN Fuel Cell bulkhead fitting in the reservoir for the low pressure return line from the HB unit. I stuffed a clean shop rag into the reservoir, spread some grease on the end of the drill bit(metal particles stick to it), and vacuumed real well with the shop vac to make sure no metal particles got into the reservoir. Then I cut to proper length, the two high pressure lines coming from the HB unit and installed the Aeroquip fittings and then installed them in their proper locations, and also installed the Russell part# 613161 90* hose end on the other end of the low pressure return line and installed that on the PS reservoir. Next, I need to fill the power steering pump with fluid, and bleed the system, checking for any possible leaks. I'll be securing the two hose clamp separators to the inner fender, I need some new hardware for that. I also need to bend some new lines for installation of a proportioning valve and then bleed the brakes.

Here we installed a Hydroboost on the editor, Jerrod Jones, of Off-Road Magazine's truck. We did the job down at our new distributor's shop, RPM in Huntington Beach. The Dodge pick up had tall tires, a big cam, and big calipers, which are all things that take away from your braking power. The big calipers require more power to stop, the big cam shaft robs vacuum to assist in braking, and the tall tires add momentum to the car which make it harder to stop. Jerrod had thought that his brakes would be good with the performance calipers, but was surprised on what he was missing by not having enough pressure to them. - sponsored by Power Brake Service - Performance Hydro-Boost™ & AIRMASTER™ Brake Systems - the obvious choice when it comes to your brakes, accept no substitutes.
