HYDRO BOOST BRAKE SYSTEM EXPLAINED | TECH TUESDAY 

Thanks!

That is my favorite part

Glad to help

They are very common on diesel engines/trucks. Have to replace one on an f-350 tomorrow

The easy way to better off road brakes

Glad to help!

Glad it was helpful!

he knows his stuff

You bet!

agreed.

Glad it helped

It’s not a bad price considering you get the wildwood master with it

let us know when you are ready.

yep, first car was a 66 ford fairlane that was manual everything even had to push it a bunch so it didn't go fast anyway !

you probably dont give a shit but does someone know a method to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost the login password. I love any assistance you can offer me.

@Isaac Armani instablaster :)

sounds like it may be plumbed wrong

They should have a master to fit yours. Give us a shout and we can make sure you get the right one.

we don't do street legal systems sorry

I have a Jeep JK with PSC hydro assist and have great steering. What do you not like about yours?

Sorry but we only do off road brakes

Thanks for responding

We would recommend a PSC pump.

will need more info

Sorry Jake! Not tryin to get people to cheep out on your kit. Just started rambling.

bigger is not always better when it comes to brakes actually.

Do you mind explaining? No argument here. Just looking for wisdom.

you want everything sizes appropriately to work together.

we have a video posting soon with all the details

it is possible

it will work for those applications as well.

probably

We build the system to work together.

@@BustedKnuckleOffRoad Is it documented anywhere, on a forum?

@@Mike-xn1bh we port it to work with the higher flow pumps.

Or are their lower cost options than the Wilwood unit?

you can use a factory chevy one.

Why would you want hydro boost brakes and manual steering?

@@BustedKnuckleOffRoad to take off the vacuum pump on a diesel engine in a pickup

If the power steering pump is looped into the hydroboost, then yes, braking performance will suffer. If power steering fluid is low, you'll have a hell of a lot more problems than just suffering brake performance. You may find your steering gear and pump fail prematurely.

if you have low power steering fluid then you probably have a leak at your power steering pump or one of the lines. And yes you will have weak breaks due to the pressure not being able to build and hold if your power steering pump is the culprit.

PSC

It is possible

works well

should be able to make it work

that stinks

It flat out works.

Well- what did you come up with? 🤔

@@smoothoperator7023 so instead of using the straight fitting that was supplied in the kit I purchased lower profile banjo with straight fitting coming from the side if that makes any sense

nope

@@BustedKnuckleOffRoad I know I need a pump but do you need a power steering rack ?

@Ole Coot > The power steering pump does double duty with the pressure valve determining the pressure. Rack & Pinion are 600-800 PSI while recirculating ball gear boxes use 1,400-1,600 PSI. The pressure hose goes from the pump to the inlet of the hydra boost unit. It has a fitting for a second pressure to the steering gear box. Both the hydra boost and steering gear have low pressure return lines. The pump will have two return line fittings for the factory or reman from box. It is common practice to help cool the P/S fluid on the low pressure side. From the gear box, the mount a correct size metal line that mounts vertical or horizontal under the radiator but behind the bumper & front valance panel. Cool outside air removes heat and the pipe makes a “U” turn, returns to short gear box line, then onto second pump return fitting. Double or inverted flare was common but gave way to o-ring type fittings. AN fitting use a single 33 degree flare to make it Bubba-proof the seal. Army-Navy fittings are installed by 19-25 year old kids, so to get a good seal & keep them cross-threading, they use the aluminum fittings. Different colors and beaded hose looks cool but just makes a wallet thinner. Hope this helps since it’s been a year. Now June 21, 2021. ASE Master Tech since 1978 - Retired

What kind of pressure do you need from a power Steering pump for a rack and pinion and hydro boost to work well together ?

you will need it

interesting, kind of like parkway and driveway

they work great

we will work on making it more informative next time.

its the same, the guarantee is made based on math

@@BustedKnuckleOffRoad Folks will be glad to hear that compared to the statement on the video.

We try to make them more informative and less infomercials.
