Only reason to go to hydroboost is lack of engine vacuum.
Great Thanks
ThanksRob, I assume your referring to the 93-2004 Mustang Cobra brakes. The hydroboost came into play on those models in 96 when the 4.6 DOHC engine was installed and clearance became an issue with the huge heads. The 93-95 Cobra's with the 5.0 ran the typical master cylinder/booster set up. I have 04 Cobra brakes on my 85 GT with the OE master cylinder and booster and have had no issues at all. There was a larger booster for the 93-95 Cobra's but sold the one I had to a friend who restores Fox Mustangs after I discovered my brakes worked fine without it.
If you have something really nasty under the hood resulting in some low vacuum, then you would need to use a hydoboost or a vacuum motor.
You will also need to run at least a 17" rim for clearance on the much larger calipers.
Good luck on your project!
Vacuum gauge is already hooked on and I belive I can see manifold pressure in the Sniper EFI Handheld. How much should I aim for to be on the safe side ? on idle I have about 65 kpa thats about 19inHg , I also have a vacuum canister.Just my opinion. Hook up a vacuum gauge at idle and see what you have. I'm not sure I would trust my brakes (IE my life) to "I think there is enough vacuum."
Great ThanksI notched my Mustang Steve brackets to allow the bracket to slide over the axle. Keeps you from having to press the bearings off. You do have to cut the retainer plate off this way, but it is thin and easy to cut.
