Hyrdaboost. What cars?

[V6UnderPressure]

I was reading that some people got Hydraboost conversions from different cars in the junkyard. Are there any direct fit for the GN?

Mr Wrath...

Did you use stock 85 GN hose or make your own?

What is the reserve cylinder on the 81-83 system?

What is the reserve cylinder on the 81-83 system?

I think he means accumulator. It would be a silver cylinder mounted on the booster. I've never seen the accumulator on a G-body HB. I've got one off a 83 carb turbo that I'm going to use someday and it doesn't have it. It's not really needed IMO.

I was surprised yesterday to find a hydroboost on a 2000 Dodge 3500 pickup. Non-diesel but it sure had it.

Newer Mustangs, Jeep Cherokee, and GM one tons use the hydroboost style system. But my 95 F350 Stroker doesn't.

I pulled a hydroboost set up off of a 85 turbo car in the junk yard. It has the gold accumulator or what ever it is. says compressed gas on it. I plan on installing it this coming year. maybe it was older?

Look at the astro vans and grab that unit ,you have to swap out the mounting plate with a power master plate . then get the shortest pedal rod they make or cut and re-weld the stock astro rod , then get some new PS hose adapters and one new power steering hose. I did this about a year ago and have about $200.00 into the whole project and the holding power is awsome ,and overall braking is so much better.
