Piston Pump Tutorial Lowrider Hydraulics

[@MrToomuchfunk]

Hydros have come a long way since I've been out of the game, great video.

[@MrShystie69]

Question , ? Isn’t the plunger suppose to be the opposite way ? I was watching the hoppos video and they installed the opposite or does it matter? Thanks Great Video

[@Ovniware33]

I think Hoppos has it the wrong way? I sure would like to know.

[@kpvideos4162]

The pistion plunger inside which way faces what? I see there is to sides one with a big indention and the other side with the very small intention which side faces the fill plug

[@Icebreaker9]

Are hard lines good for hopping? I’m wondering If the pressure would be greater then a hose

[@LOWRIDERHYDRAULICS]

Hard to answer because the inside diameter of hard lines is smaller on 3/8 stainless so it restricts a little. You can jump to 1/2 but you end up creating more room for volume or standard rubber hoses.

Hi Russell, I like how you explain about piston pumps, also can you send me info on what accessories I need to buy for the pistion pump just like you have in the video, I plan on putting 2 pistion pump set up in my ride and wanted to know if I can do Corner left and corner right, do I need the adel to go with the piston pump or it's not really need it

[@yogishydraulics]

Anything regarding the piston pump you need I sell them

[@garymatusavige3639]

Is the piston a form of shock and reason of multiple pump systems i was trying to figure out why they had so many pumps when most things use a single pump or low pressure and high pressure and create multiple functions off the valves

[@LOWRIDERHYDRAULICS]

Piston pumps create more force basically because of the added psi behind the piston. It’s not like a shock.

[@willieurus]

What’s the difference between piston vs none and what is better and and What is rhe difference on pump head and what is the ultimate pump head and for front of. 63 Impala I currently have a hoppos set up but only 2 pumps and want to make the 2 for rears and get one new ultimate best of the best pump for the front and also adex dump if it’s worth it please help you seem very knowledgeable thanks

[@JesusGarcia-ww6qo]

@russell harris what happens if you let all the air out?

[@LOWRIDERHYDRAULICS]

The piston just isn’t charged anymore. Not as strong when you hit the switch because it no longer has help.

[@JuanDiaz-pt7cg]

Great video! just learning the piston pump myself , can the piston get stuck ? In the tank if it’s not greased up I don’t think my piston is moving all the way back when I load it with 30 psi I do it when the pump is installed in the car does it make a difference if I pull it out like u did thanks

[@LOWRIDERHYDRAULICS]

Juan Diaz doesn’t make a difference if it’s in the car or not. When the piston moves at all it is lubricated by the hydraulic fluid so it’s not likely that it is getting stuck. I’d say if it is getting stuck it would be because the tank has a dent in it, otherwise it should be moving. Make sure that when you add the psi to the block that you immediately remove the air from the end of the tank, that should allow it to move all the way back. If you still think you are having an issue, remove the back plate and see if there is anything on the inside keeping it from moving.

[@JuanDiaz-pt7cg]

That sounds good I’ll try that thanks keep the videos going good information for ppl trying to learn hydraulics

[@josel1286]

Good tutorial homie. I was wondering if you were going to show the differences between the #9 and #11 gear head on the truck? But still 👍 👍.

[@Lowridersworldwide]

My piston pump has 2 air valves which one do I use to fill with air

[@LOWRIDERHYDRAULICS]

You start buy putting psi in the one on the block, let out the air on the back side of the pump to reset the piston. Let air out of the one on the block, then fill the one on the end of the tank.

[@dannycardenas3203]

Can you put hydraulics on my truck when i pull my Yacht it sets to low

[@BIG_ST3W]

When charging the piston do I lock the car up fully and then the piston or do I lay the car out?

[@LOWRIDERHYDRAULICS]

Laid out

[@richardcard9328]

Hell yeah you answered my previous question, Great video

[@SayT210]

How long should keep air in the piston once you fill it up? Say you want to fill it up for the weekend, should you take the air out after a certain time period?

[@LOWRIDERHYDRAULICS]

There are mixed reviews on this question. It depends on if you are running air or nitrogen. Air has moisture and can corrode over time. Nitrogen is the better option. It also depends on how much you are running. If you are only running 50 psi I’d say you are good to leave it in there but if you are running 150 psi just for hoping, you should probably let it out when not in use. Some people do leave it in there at all time. Letting out the air relieves the system while not in use. It’s up to you.

[@SupraStringing11b]

Just to make sure. You don’t pressure the air side until it’s back hooked up on the car with the air in the oil side bled out right?

[@LOWRIDERHYDRAULICS]

Yes

[@CrystalClearSQL]

Awesome. Thank you

[@Lowridersworldwide]

No one knows there's one in the front of pump and one on the back of the pump there's no videos on that can u help pls thank u

[@LOWRIDERHYDRAULICS]

Thank you

[@Impala1963]

@lowrider punch in hydraulic gear pump explained, on KZbin, this will give you a good crash course and explain a lot hopefully it helps you out ✌️

[@ericv4152]

What if I don’t MOVE THE FUCK ON ..lol great video bro..

[@samueladuran2776]

Thanks for help

[@juanpena4914]

what the best # gear for a pro hopper g series pump

[@ericv4152]

Juan Pena #13

[@LOWRIDERHYDRAULICS]

Depends on several factors, how many batteries, what size hoses, cylinders and so on.

[@whitetrash1820]

Thx for the help

[@byronyoung6413]

where are you located? i need to send my 64 to you

[@LOWRIDERHYDRAULICS]

I actually only work on my own cars and club members.

[@michaelseguinot393]

Great video

[@davidmendez9854]

90 240 what ? Air pressure.. realy like ur vedios brotha good stuff learn so much new to the game

[@LOWRIDERHYDRAULICS]

Psi of air or nitrogen

[@trustnobody1281]

Tried this and when I shot air into block hydro fluid shot out of the same stem I was shooting air into which I wasn’t expecting. Any suggestions why

[@LOWRIDERHYDRAULICS]

Still had pressure on the piston side.

[@trustnobody1281]

@@LOWRIDERHYDRAULICS I did make sure the air was released on the backing plate before I shot air in the block, but I’m guessing there might of been a little in there because that makes sense. Thanks

[@vannigiovannigio8861]

Proper.

[@soulless7192]

GOOD SHIT TEACH! 😉

[@normabarriga893]

bad ass video..
