Hey man we all have to get our heads and thoughts together and develop a full hydro system from the petals all the way to the slave. Doesnt seem difficult but seems like an intresting idea. And yes ive seen other threads, but they have no good write-ups they are all vague. Any inputs!

i have a very agressive pressure plate and a 6 puck clutch. Car sucks to drive, especially around town. Trust im not the only person that feels this way, any ideas?
it sounds like he is talking about converting the cable setup in the ef to a hydro setup all together. I have seen one setup on an ef. the person used something like this http://www.tiltonracing.com/co...4&m=d attached to a tilton pedal assembly that replaced the stock clutch pedal with a much beefier one.
Needless to say, the work is almost all custom, and required building a clutch master cylinder bracket and clutch pedal plate that fit under the dash, and was in a full blown race car. Most people around here can get by with the stock cable and the hydro actuator for the slave cylinder.. so you probably won't see any full conversion writeups. I know ive never seen one.
have you thought of just downgrading your clutch to like a stage 1 sprung disk and a less heavy pressure plate? it would probably be cheaper an easier, if you aren't running say, over 600 hp..

that sounds like you picked a clutch/PP that's too aggresive for your needs. I don't think going hydro is going to help out at all. How much power are you making?

well im defineltly not making that much power but i think i would be nice to have a smooth pedal. I love efs but everyone has to admit that using hasport,etc. conversions donot feel so good. I mean if u like your setup good for you, im just trying to step it up a notch and have a full hydro setup in an ef.
a guy i did some work fro has a EF with a full hydro set up. Im talking clutch master cylinder and likes rigged and all. Its pretty ghetto but it works. ill have to look at how he did it.

If you're trying to improve pedal feel; Go back to a stock clutch and PP.
If you just wanna have an ef with a hydraulic actuated clutch so you can say you "stepped it up" , then go for it I guess.
Just don't blame your dislike of hasport (and other) conversions on a problem caused by you using a clutch that was unneccessary for the amount of power you are making and the things you do with your car.
