Default Need better brakes? Hydroboost for sale

I bought two of these some time back because I needed to make sure I had everything I need. For those that dont know, a CTD doesn't produce vacuum so it doesn't have a brake booster. They use a hydroboost which is powered by the power steering pump. So if you are running a big cam with high lift and/or tight LSA that makes low vacuum then a hydroboost is the solution. For those guys running big susp and body lifts, the brake booster gets in the way so again, a hydroboost is the solution. Having problems getting to the back spark plugs? Guess what? A hydroboost is the fix.

This is a direct swap. However, you will need the hoses and master cylinder to complete this.

$100 shipped OBO.

Here are some OEM pics and the last two are pics of mine

There are three hoses you need. One is the pressure hose, one is the return hose and the other is a overflow hose.

You take the pressure hose that is on the PS pump loose from the rack and use a 3/8 pipe thread coupler or T (if you use the T you need a 3/8 plug for one end). So you screw the hose from the PS pump in the coupler and the pressure hose from the hydroboost into the coupler. This makes the PS pump feed hydraulic power to the hydroboost.

Then the return line comes from the hydroboost and goes back into the rack.

The overflow hose you take a 3/8 plastic or metal barbed T and T splice it into the hose coming from the PM pump reservoir.

As you can see from the pics, it is obvious where the unit mounts to the firewall and the rods that connects to the brake pedal. The master cylinder fits on the front with two nuts holding it in place.

Like i said, it is an easy upgrade and I hope I described everything so it makes sense.
