Hey all,
I have a question regarding the hydroboost setup, specifically deleting just the brake portion. I have a 2000 GT that’s been converted to a road race car. I installed the ATS front rotors and tried the Taurus calipers on the rear but could never get a good pedal so I went back to the stock GT calipers as race time was approaching. The car did well, but I can tell there is too much front bias as the fronts are prone to locking up and I’d like to put in a smaller bore master and proportioning valve to get the pedal feel we need plus get the bias worked out. All the info I can find regarding deleting the hydroboost is also focused on deleting the power steering, which I don’t want to do since this is a road course car. What are my options? Can the lines going to the booster be blocked off? Do I need to change the rack and power steering pump to something off another car that doesn’t have HB? Any help would be appreciated. Lots of info on deleting the brake side on the drag forums but I couldn’t find anything where anyone wanted to keep the power steering. Thanks in advance for any help.
