Re: Hydroboost with Aftermarket Headers

well it looks like one of you has the hydro unit upside down...and your name is MRKING. :lol: wonder if that makes a difference.

Is thier actually a ride side up or down?

Doesn't make a difference other than more clearance on the valve cover side.

Re: Hydroboost with Aftermarket Headers

i disagree...becuase i'm pretty sure the lines go up above the unit itself to let air escape and get up there and away from the actuator portion.

It wouldn't make sense to have the inlet on the top then, would it? Especially with that U-turn it makes to the hydroboost unit.
With that logic the inlet should be below the outlet.

I believe John Gerber has his mounted with the reservoir on the driver side. Maybe he'll post his results.

pretty sure the resevoir goes on the pass side in the trucks they come in...guessing that the lines angle up for a reason. maybe they don't...but the engineers usually do that kinda shit for a reason.

Re: Hydroboost with Aftermarket Headers

well i fully agree w/ that statement. And i like not seeing the piping personally. BUT i'm very curious about how its designed to be used.

Yeah they don't, there's lots of stuff on cars I've worked on and thought to myself " Why didn't they just do it this way, it would be way easier and function just fine?" :)

Me thinks more likely they run out of time and just stick stuff where ever just to button it up :roll:

It's a pressureized system and fairly high pressure at that. I dont think it makes a diff?

Re: Hydroboost with Aftermarket Headers

could always try a banjo as well. probably give you a tad more clearance. Dean's clears with a 1/4" at best.

<<REVIEW>>>>>>>>>>> Ok, now that I have been using these brakes for a few hours all I can say is WOW, these fricking things ROCK. I can EASILY hold 15lbs, and tonight I accidentaly held up to 18/19lbs without meaning to. I have to say I was really expecting to get some very touchy brakes, but found that not to be the case. The brakes require a firm push on the pedal but the pedal travel is so small that the firm push you have to do makes if very controllable. Unlike my roomates Sentra, just touch the pedal with your foot and your eating steering wheel. Not the case with this upgrade, you don't have to push very far, but you do need to push a bit on the firm side, making it a very easy and controlable stop. FYI I have stock pads, rotors, and drums. Hope this helps you all.

Re: Hydroboost with Aftermarket Headers

Awsome Dean, glad to hear you got it all worked out and it works well for you.

You have any plans for upgrading the brakes themselves, bigger fronts, rear disc, ect...

No plans but someday maybe. I'm so pleased with the result that more brake upgrading is no longer a priority.

What happens when your motor cuts off at the end of a run, how would they feel? Could you stop?
 
Re: Hydroboost with Aftermarket Headers

I experienced how these brakes feel in Deans truck and WOw!. I am all over this mod and props to a job well done.
