VACUUM VS HYDROBOOST JUST A NOTE....THE HYDROBOOST CONVERSION USES THE SAME BRAKE PEDAL AS THE POWERMASTER, AND DOES NOT NEED THE PEDAL CHANGE. IT BOLTS RIGHT IN! IT CAN GENERATE 1400PSI TO 2000 PSI WITH "NO VACUUM" THANKS. YOU CAN SEE IT AT POWERBRAKESERVICE.NET

POWERMASTER VS HYDROBOOST THE POWERMASTER RUNS OFF IT'S OWN ELECTRIC PUMP. THIS PUMP PUMPS BRAKE FLUID WHICH HAS NO LUBRICATION BY NATURE. THE VANES IN THE PUMP ARE PHENOLIC AND WEAR FAST. THE PUMPS SO FAR HAVE NOT BEEN REBUILDABLE, AS THEY ARE SEALED. THE SWITCH ON THE POWERMASTER RUNS THE...

SINKING BRAKE PEDAL HI! IT'S POWER BRAKE BOB. I WAS READING ABOUT YOUR MYSTERIOUS DROPPING PEDAL ON THE VACUUM BRAKE SET UP. THIS IS USUALLY CAUSED BY INSTALLING A DUST BOOT OVER THE END OF THE MASTER CYL. THE DUST BOOT IS ONLY USED ON MANUAL BRAKE MASTERS. IF YOU CRAM THE BOOT INTO THE VACUUM...

There was one post, and it was due to complications. We had to make sure of the proper measurements, as we were not going to send the wrong parts. All things are taken care of with that one customer, the situation is not what it was made out to be. Please don't let this isolated incidenent...

HI GUYS! WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THE HYDROBOOST SYSTEM BEFORE. IT WAS ORIGINALLY USED ON THE 83 85 T TYPES, BUT BUICK SWITCHED TO THE POWERMASTER FOR APPARENT EASE OF PLUMBING. THE HYDROBOOST SYSTEM IS PRESSURIZED FROM THE POWER STEERING PUMP, AND REQUIRES "NO VACUUM" IT IS CAPABLE OF GENERATING UP...

HYDROBOOST CONTROVERSY O.K. O.K. JOHN, WHY ARE YOU SO TROUBLED BY SOMEONE OFFERING A BRAKE UPGRADE? THE HYDROBOOST CAME AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ON THE 83-85 T TYPES. THEY WORKED FINE. BUICK THOUGHT THE POWERMASTER WAS EASIER TO INSTALL. IT WAS. NO HOSES TO HOOK UP TO THE P/S PUMP. THAT'S IT. THE...

Wallace, what kind of engine do you have in that Cuda. Not to long ago we had one in with a bored an blown Hemi. It was quite an experience at idle. But, and not to step on any toes, do you think that a regular vacuum booster would have stopped that. The guy had been to at least 4 dfferent...

vacuum vs. hydroboost I'm not sure why there is any controversy. IF Buick thought that a stock Delco vacuum booster would have performed on a performance car with only 231 c.i. and supercharged, and with only 12" of vacuum, they would have saved a lot of money by NOT using the hydroboost on the...

there is a reason the powermaster was put on your car. Since it has a turbo, your car does not produce enough vacuum to use a standard vacuum booster. So they used an electric vacuum pump to build up pressure. But brake fluid is thick and chews up the inner workings of the pump. So you could...

HYDROBOOST HOSES THE HYDROBOOST USES TWO HOSE DESIGNS. 1979 AND OLDER USE CONVENTIONAL 5/8" AND 11/16" INVERTED SEAT AND THREAD SIZES. 1980 AND UP USE 16MM AND 18MM O RING TYPE THREADS. CHECK YOUR PORTS BEFORE SCREWING IN HOSES! WE ALSO CARRY A-N ADAPTORS TO ACCOMODATE STAINLESS BRAIDED HOSES...

POWERMASTER HI KRIS! This is bob from POWER BRAKE SERVICE. The POWERMASTER was used by G.M. on this supercharged car because vacuum is the opposite of manifold pressure. If the stck Regal vacuum booster would have worked, G.M. would have used it. The POWERMASTER'S motor pump pumps brake fluid...

WHEEL CYLS HI1 It's power brake bob. The S10 wheel cyl was something i tried in 1987. It's something that I had been doing with 1 ton trucks and motor homes to balance out the excessive wear and heat on truck rotors. caused by a proportioning valve set up for an empty pick-up. When I studied...
