Hydro Boost thread....?

Is there a very detailed thread on a hydro boost conversion?

If not I am looking for some detailed info/threads on what I need, and any tricks people have used. It would be nice to get all this info in one spot.

My truck is apart while I swap the motor so I would like to do this mod also. Thanks!!

I know that I've seen several very detailed writeups that I found on Google when I was trying to find information on what sort of pressure the pumps put out to figure out which types of hoses I needed to build.

I did a write-up of sorts that had some part numbers in it, but not a lot of detail in the work itself. It's hard for me to remember to stop and take pictures and by the time I get to writing stuff down, I go off memory of what I did. I've never done any work for the express purpose of doing a write up...

Anyhow, here's a link to what I did.

The only thing I've changed since that write up that I dont think is in there is that I am now running a banjo bolt to the outlet of the pump instead of a straight adapter to the hose, as I wound up with an engine mount in the way after doing a swap.

Good call on doing the hydroboost, by the way. That stupid F-350 "upgrade," is so hit or miss that I couldnt possibly recommend it to anyone who's not a gambler. I lost out big time doing it.
