Hydro Boost Install Diagram

Thanks, that's helpful - anyone know where the t-fitting goes, and approximately how long all the hoses are?I'm in the process of putting a system in and am at the trial fitting stage. Te return lines are not under much pressure so my setup is overkill. The t-fitting can go close to the return pipe on the back of the power steering pump. Here is the return line setup on mine (high pressure fitting for pump is arriving today): I added a filter to the system (dirt really messes up hydraulics systems) and routed all three lines along the inner fender: I ordered 10 feet of teflon-lined braided stainless line but I have about 3-feet leftover. Eight feet of high-pressure hose would do an entire install, even without a filter. I added a filter to the system (dirt really messes up hydraulics systems) and routed all three lines along the inner fender:The first diagram was mine from my install. Bob, I would advise against installing the filter in the line.

That will cause backpressure which may have an effect on the brake pedal. You may find the pedal not returning to its upright position as fast as it should. They system is a loop, the filter will slow the return to the pump which will back up the entire loop.

Diagrams & Schematics. Removed the old vacuum boost unit off the firewall. What a large piece of metal that disappeared. Now to the installation, some quick.

I'd be careful. All that info I read and guys i spoke to when doing my install were against filters or anything else that would restrict flow.even the T fitting restricts flow slightly which is why I added a second return on my power steering pump.

A 'Y' fitting might be better than a 'T' fitting. Since you have the filter already installed give it a shot, but don't take it out on the highway right away until you're sure the system is working the way you need it to for safety.

Otherwise Hydro is awsome! The first diagram was mine from my install. Bob, I would advise against installing the filter in the line. Belajar bahasa korea dan artinya.

This is the first hydroboost install I致e done and I知 trying not to screw it up (brakes are not an accessory!). I put the filter in because most hydraulic systems seem to have them (transmission, for example).

With a tic under $2,000 invested in Steeroids and Hydroboost hardware, the filter seemed like cheap insurance. I thought the 12-gallon per minute flow (at 3000 psi) on this filter would be adequate. I read that the power steering pump puts out around 3 GPM at around 850 psi (constant pressure and flow from 900 RPM up). I知 not crazy about the T-fitting (or the tube) so I知 going to put a couple of -6 bulkhead fittings in the pump reservoir. I知 going to try the system with the filter in place and if there痴 any kind of problem, I値l open the housing and take out the bronze element (then it値l just be another accumulator). If that fixes the problem, I値l make another line.

In any case, all this work is just so I can move the car from the garage to the driveway and back while I知 prepping the body for paint and then putting in the new interior. It痴 gonna be a while before it goes on the highway. Having decided to add two return ports on the power steering pump, I decided to rebuild the pump while I had it apart. Page 9-8 in the 1972 Chevrolet Overhaul Manual has an interesting exploded view of the pump. Items 6 and 7 in the diagram show a filter unique to the Corvette pump.

There was none in my pump but perhaps the Delco rebuild kit will include one. Once I opened it up, the reservoir had a coating of dark gray/black particles, very much like what I've found in the transmission pan when I change that filter. If you are going to braze a second return line spout on the pump reservoir, it is quite important that you locate the second spout in the correct location. The spout shown at the 8 o'clock location can also be located just around the corner on the side of the reservoir. (Just not too far forward where it might interfere with the seal or the pump casting.
