Hydroboost pedal effort

Re: Hydroboost pedal effort

I never did make a kit.. Its been a busy summer. If anyone is interested I can do he following:

Bare unwelded mild steel 1/8" plate - $20
Welded mild steel 1/8" plate - $30

These will be CNC plasma cut. The edges will have a little kerf as that is the nature of plasma cutting.

If you want one welded it will be mig welded..

I would guess that these could be shipped for ~$5 USPS so lets go with that for shipping..

PM me if interested..

how about the peddle and the rod would you be able to do those as well?

Dave,

The top two plates are yours if you want them.. I PMed you my paypal info.

I'm not going to be able to do the pedal now as I don't have an extra one and it seems as if I won't be making it to a u-pull-it yard anytime soon.

As far as the rod goes I used both the original hydroboost rod and the original rod from the stock brake setup. I'm not so sure I could easily source both of those to cut up and thread and you are also the 1st person to ask for this so I'm not sure how much demand there is..

Re: Hydroboost pedal effort

So did this really make the pedal a lot softer?

Re: Hydroboost pedal effort

I'm curious as well since not impressed with my hydro boost braking. The Pedal feels way different on my 95 3500 dually with hb than it does on my Ty. I can stop it just fine but boost launching is not happening

Re: Hydroboost pedal effort

FYI I can boost launch with my hydroboost. Guessing as motor is out but 5# boost?

yep

Re: Hydroboost pedal effort

I could maybe hold 5# of boost. With the stock brakes I could hold 12 non problem. A little disappointing with all the money spent to upgrade my brakes.

I had front C5 Z06 brakes and 1998 S10 rear disc brakes and held 15psi with a built motor and 67gtq with hydraboost. Cut a nice 1.5 60'. I think it is interesting how some people just can't build more than a few lbs, I wonder what the difference is.

Wondering if it could be that everyone has a different tcc? Would make some sense as some stall higher than others....:dunno:

Re: Hydroboost pedal effort

I've had quite a few requests for these plates so I made up four more tonight. I thought some of you may like to see a vid of one being cut...

Let me know...

Re: Hydroboost pedal effort

All plates have been shipped.. Shipping was more than I expected so going forward it will be $9 per plate for shipping..

Re: Hydroboost pedal effort

Do you have a picture of this installed? Does it make the unit look horizontal or does it point downwards?

I'm here at the shop now and just put a level on it and it sits nearly perfectly flat.. I don't have my camera with me but I'll snap a pic tomorrow for you..
