Well let’s put the results of the booster install nothing else. Brakes are nearly twice as good, Hands down fixed. Better than my 100 brakes now. I can modulate in out of ABS keeping my rear load valve in place. 33 inch tires pulsating in ABS and truck stops straight. Back end not stepping out to the side and tracks as it should. Pedal has a good feel initially too. You can feel it in the pedal when the booster is working doing its job.
A slight whine in the pump with air bubbles working out. It was that way after the engine was set in too. Took a couple of days and drive it and set .. check fluid and when bubbles are gone whine stops.
The change I see is how fast the pedal returns back , it’s slower that the vacuum booster but driving I don’t notice. The oe booster had a return spring , instructions didn’t say install it and didn’t see a place to hook it , it hooked on the OE pin before.
The second change, power steering a little stiffer. Nothing dramatic… can turn wheels just find stopped back the forth to the stops. Just noticed driving it turning into sharpe parking spot a touch stiffer.
I trade that for the better brake hands down.
My
eBay hose kit has an invert flare in it, it leaked on my steering box… hum.. ran out of threads to tighten to the seat. I saw an 16 mm oring fitting, I chucked it up in my lathe turned the end smooth, and put a 45 degree cut .300 inside and .400 outer before it because flat matching the invert flare line that came off. It doesn’t leak now … fixed.
The hoses made up super easy on each end and I had to buy a bango fitting to my ps pump and reuse oe banjo bolt. I spotted the holes inside the fitting and marked the top to tighten and exit hole
In banjo directs fluid right into the outlet. More flow volume maybe.. don’t know.
Recap new booster ford 185.00 plus shipping tax
This adapter kit 159.00
Hose kit 68.00
One banjo fitting
Amazon 10-15 bucks don’t remember …
You could need another fitting for the steering box 16 mm invert flare to 6an flare , I made one work.
Thanks a lot
Oh that kit assumes you have the flat nut socket to remove the oe bracket and install the adapter bracket. It was 50 bucks
Amazon I think
And needed two 10 mm corse threat nuts for the master cylinder adapter to booster. Assumed using used booster with master clyinder.
I not a big three fastener, Toyota uses fine threads …
That took some
Digging deep… in my bolts and nuts !
I have a pressure brake bleeder and took
Brake like loose to help the install.
Lower T under master cylinder took some
Massaging to clear the shock stud.
