At A crossroads on whether or not to go Hydraboost
My car is a non power steering car with 13" Brakes up front and 12" Brakes in the rear. Usual Suspect conversion kits from Ricks...
I'm not getting enough power from the booster to the brakes and cannot get the car to lock up the tires unless I pump up a lot of pressure before a hard brake....
Recently saw that crash at the autocross of the car that crashed due to the engine stalling and hydroboost failing and it got me thinking. I'm going to get some vacuum readings off my stock zz502 this weekend and see if I'm getting enough vacuum to run a booster.
If I have enough Vacuum should I just run a dual diaphram 8" Booster or should I bite the bullet and do a hydraboost setup and add power steering as well...
$1800 or so vs $350 or so... Pretty big price difference.
I've heard from a few people the zz502 doesn't put out much vacuum. Will see on saturday.
