What type of vehicle do you find the HYDRO-BOOSTER set-up on?

Wanting to install a Hydro-Booster set-up, I'm in need of donor vehicle type and what components are needed?

Pictures would be great!

Any 1999-2004 Mustang GT, Bullitt, Mach1, or Cobra will have the pieces you need if you are using a Modular motor on your build.

Ford went to the modular engine in 1996, so I think that any 1996-2004 Mustang GT would work. Or you could do what I did; I bought my hydroboost unit new from Hydratech.

You only need the hydro boost if you are using a 4.6 engine right???

I have one I don't need. I am doing a 427...

I went hydroboost because I added power steering, wanted power brakes, and didn't want to modify my frame to accommodate a vacuum booster. And I don't have a mod engine.

Is this option only available if you are using a 4.6? I would like to use a 302 or 351 in my car with a power steering and power breaks.

Hydroboost can be done with a Windsor.

I am using a 98 Mustang Cobra donor, including the hydroboost/master cylinder setup. I have not completely plumbed the system yet. I am also using a remote reservoir setup. I scrapped the OEM lines with all the odd fittings and had some more conventional hydraulic fittings and braided lines made up.HB 1.jpgHB 2.jpgHB 3.jpg

Here's a photo from 2005 showing my hydroboost unit.

I used Hydratech's unit in our build with a 427 Windsor. With their billet adapter it bolts right up to the Fox or SN-95 pedal box. If you are using the Wilwood pedal box I believe the only option for hydroboost is the conversion kit from Mike Forte.

I love ours. Compact, great braking power, etc. If you do go with a donor assist unit I HIGHLY recommend ditching the big stock hoses that usually need to be modified anyway and at LEAST order the hose kit from Hydratech. They are cut-to-length braided lines with a box full of fittings and adapters for the assist unit and the rack to make connections a breeze!

HTH...
