new to hydraulics, need some help

ib2loud · 04-08-2004, 07:02 PM

i have a 2001 Saturn (don't laugh) that I just bought a complete hydraulic setup for.. not a hopper just and adjustable daily driver. the kit is coming off an identical car so I shouldn't have any trouble bolting it all up. What I am wanting is a good explanation and diagram of how to wire things up. The kit has two pumps and 4 dumps. I have done air ride on many cars but this is my first hydro install. I was needing to know what brand/size batteries to run, what voltage and things like that. Space is VERY limited. The person i bought the kit from said he was using 4 lawn mower batteries that fit in the spare tire well, would this work for me? I don't want it fast, just reliable and not having to be charged every night.

thanks a lot for any help!

this is the best pic i have so far...it's not a very complicated install

i did have a lot of leaks though from the cylinders, I had put in new o-rings from a local shop and i guess they're not working, so I ordered the rebuild kits directly from prohopper
