Jeep Hydroboost Braking System The PROBLEM: Jeeps are notorious for poor stopping performance. Then you add front discs, rear discs, larger tires, bigger axles with bigger brakes, lower gears, a bigger engine, and so on and so forth, and before you know it, the brakes become almost useless with the pressure and power generated by the original stock braking system. The SOLUTION: Vanco has devised a system that has worked wonderfully on all prototypes it has been tested on. It is a very easy to install Hydroboost system that bolts right up and uses your power steering pump, instead of engine vacuum, to provide power assist to the brakes. It can be used to convert manual brakes to power brakes, to upgrade factory power brakes, or to work the bigger brakes on that stronger axle you are swapping in. The power of the Hydroboost allows the system to incorporate a larger bore master cylinder than is possible with a vacuum assist, which produces more brake clamping pressure and, at the same time, a higher brake pedal. (Vacuum systems require about an inch and a half of pedal travel before they begin to work.) The booster is very slim, only about 4 1/2” in diameter, as opposed to the 9”-10” diameter of vacuum boosters, so, if you are concerned about spaceworry no more.
This booster gives tremendous power, whether you are going 5 mph or 100 mph. It is never too sensitive, and never lacking in power. The Vanco Hydroboost System *Available as a complete kit or separate individual components What you will need to provide: Fluid. What kind you ask. Different people will tell you different things. GM, whose vehicles this system is used on, recommends GM Power Steering Fluid, Part No. 1050017, but other brands of “power steering fluid” will also work.
The Chilton Jeep Manual recommends DEXRON II automatic transmission fluid. Others will recommend Type F automatic transmission fluid. Sap erp 60 keygen. The choice is yours, any of the above will work fine. (Hint, if you have an automatic transmission, you could get away with carrying only one type of spare fluid to cover both.) How much fluid will you need? If you are doing a full blown system, a Hydroboost, new power steering pump, a new steering box, a cooler, and a filter, you will need approximately 3 quarts.
DOT 3 Brake Fluid for the new master cylinder. A Cooler if so desired.
(Usually the rubber hose, clamps, and mounting accessories come in kit form with the cooler.) A Filter (highly recommended). Available from Vanco.
NOTE: If you are upgrading from manual steering, you will additionally need to obtain • a power steering box • a power steering box return line• a power steering pump mounting bracket• depending on the model year, a compatible steering shaft or conversion coupler for the steering box input shaft INSTALLATION Removal of the Old System 1. Remove your existing power steering lines from the steering box and drain the steering pump. Remove the other end of the lines from the steering pump. If the existing return line has the rubber hose attached to the metal tubing with a hose clamp, remove the hose clamp and discard the rubber hose. If the metal and rubber portions are crimped together, cut the steel tube just before the connection to the rubber hose. WARNING: IT IS IMPORTANT TO USE A TUBING CUTTER, AS SAWING WILL LET METAL PARTICLES IN THE TUBE. If replacing the power steering pump, remove the old pump and the portion of the mount that is bolted to the pump.
(When’s the last time you replaced your belts? Now would be a great time to do so.) 5. Remove the vacuum line from the existing brake booster and engine. The vacuum line will no longer be used, so you will need to plug the vacuum connection at the engine.
