NEW '07+ Jeep Wrangler JK & Wrangler Unlimited JKU Hydroboost

Description: This Jeep JK hydroboost will fit to Wrangler JK & JKUs in different configurations. It has been installed in a JKU with late model F350 axles and the ABS removed we added the 90* MC rotation adapter and a F350 MC which cleared the hood (pictured). This has been installed in a JKU with stock axles, retaining the ABS and using the MC adapter and short MC shown in the listing pics. With the short master cylinder I found to match this up with the hydroboost I will it clock 90* and I include an MC adapter to clock the MC back. This arrangement will also fit under the ARB twin cylinder air compressor. I have posted pics of the adapter I will be using with the short 1" bore master cylinder included in the sale with port adapters for your brake lines if you specify you are retaining your ABS and factory brakes. The front port of this shorty MC is for your rear brakes and your matching ABS line should be 3/8-24 INV and the line for your front brakes going to the rear MC port should be 7/16-24 INV. The adaptation of the short MC to the hydroboost has been successfully road tested with ABS and factory brakes. This setup will allow you to retain your ABS motor in the same location. If the plastic reservoir on the MC turns you off, check out the pic of my billet aluminum res I designed to fit the same MC (add $100 to cost and you source your lids/gaskets separately, there are three types of lids available and I can provide info). ***If you plan to just remove or relocate your ABS motor and have room to run a longer GM dimple input MC for larger than factory brakes then I will omit the 90* adapter/shorty MC and invoice you for $250.00 less. ***I have several MC adapters and one version of the MC adapter will fit the stock JK/JKU and HD MCs if you want to run your OEM MC. ***I will need to know what MC you are planning to use and the axles (make/year) and brakes used. ***This does not include a hose kit. (pressure ports are 18 and 16 mm 0-ring) Questions? Sure, send them my way at either BadAspBrakes or CustomPowerBrake. This is a new (not rebuilt) hydroboost and mount set up for a 2007 up Jeep Wrangler JK and Wrangler Unlimited JKU. It will bolt straight to the removable aluminum firewall plate your current vacuum booster is mounted to and can be mounted inverted. ***For inverted hydroboost the return nipple will point towards the motor and if you require greater clearance for the return line you can search on ebay for the AN-6 "spittier fitting" and use that to replace the return nipple. When using black rubber return line get a 90* pushlock AN-6 fitting and install that on the return line. If you are using stainless braid line then just use a return line with the 90* AN-6 fitting at the hydroboost end.***Regarding use of replacement return hose fittings on the booster: When the booster is inverted or clocked on the mount for clearance to the motor the return nipple points the hose at the header or into the inner fender depending on the vehicle and set up. If you don't use a banjo fitting there and use an AN-6 Spittier fitting then you need to know to before you install it to take a #35 drill bit (or 0.110") and make sure it passes through the orifice before you use it and drill it if it doesn't. 0.110" is OEM ID for Bosch return fittings and anything undersize can cause slow pedal return. Tech, info on building pressure hoses, and pictures of custom hydroboost installations as well as my contact info can be viewed on-line at CustomPowerBrake. ****Allow me to dispel some myths... #1 There simply are no vacuum boosters that will give you the same dramatic increase in line pressure at the caliper that hydroboost will provide. #2 The largest vacuum booster you could possibly fit would only give you about 1,700 psi at the front caliper and that is if you had room to fit it and the engine produced the vacuum it was designed for. If you have a low vacuum motor and a 7" dual diaphragm booster (like a customer of mine with a built 5.7 Hemi who tested line pressure with a gauge) you will only get 1,000 psi at the front and 800 at the rear calipers. You need about 1,600 psi up front for disc. After installing my hydroboost he tested it at what you can see in my last pic above. Got it? ;) Thats an increase of 1,400psi at the front caliper at idle. 2,400psi..... yes, your pedal will be lighter;) John's car is a '37 Plymouth Tudor and he hauls a trailer for his two Harleys. His comment to me after the installation of the hydroboost was "this thing could stop freight trains". Thanks for the testing, pics and feedback John! It's what dispels myths. #3 Installing a hydroboost does not just make your pedal easier to press, ask anyone who has hydroboost installed. I have had a lot of customers tell me that swapping to hydroboost was the best modification they made to their vehicle and should have been the first. Think about it for a minute.... is it really going to help your braking if you switch from 11" disc to 13" and go from single piston calipers to four piston if you still are only going to have 1,000 psi at the front caliper when you need at least 1,600 psi? Yes, the braking would improve over what you had but you still don't have the line pressure and only changing the booster to hydroboost is going to give you 2,400 psi. To my knowledge, not even electric boosters will give you that much pressure and 2,600 psi is obtainable with the right master cylinder. Installation of hydraulically boosted brake systems will increase your line pressure up to a maximum of 2,600psi (as tested and I have a gauge reading to demonstrate pressure at idle) depending on the master cylinder you select and the other components in your brake system. Consequently your brake system must be in top shape to handle increases from normal 1,100-1,600psi. Many power brake master cylinders can be used on this hydroboost and the iron '77-'80 Corvette power brake MC is a frequent choice. ***Be sure the power steering pump you are using will be adequate to run with hydroboost which typically require 1,300-1,500psi and 2.5-3.5gpm. This hydroboost is not designed to be operated with power steering pumps exceeding 1,500psi. It is compatible with ABS. If you have a different vehicle you'd like to set up with a custom firewall mount just shoot me a message and I'll work with you if I think it can be done. Custom mounts in black painted steel are typically $53, basic firewall plates are $25, and 304 Stainless may be available. The bolt spacing for the master cylinder is 3.4" and if you need a custom adapter to fit a 3.2" spaced Dodge or Ford master cylinder I have those available, and I have used master cylinders available also. Just ask....;) I can help you sort out what you need for your hot rod or built rock buggy using the largest dual piston calipers. I have set up C3 Corvettes, Chevy S10s, Toyota FJ 40s, Jeep Commandos, Wranglers, CJs, and the M715 as well as the full size Jeep Wagoneers, Cherokees and J series trucks, Scout II, Ford Ranger, F150, '67 Camaro, '70-'77 Camaro, and I've currently mapped out a '57 Buick, '55-'57 Chevy and Jeep TJ, ZJ, MJ, XJ, '70 Chevelle, Toyota T100/Tacoma.
