this link has the formula to calculate the effectiveness of a hydraulic system. I've been meaning to try this out but I keep forgetting to get the caliper piston size while at the buggy.
if you know the dimensions of your system you can calculate what it will do
if you have a spare caliper, put the piston at it's correct retracted position and use a syringe to fill it to find the volume. move it to extended position, add more and you've got your amount needed from the master's stroke.

you'd think i'd have taken the time to do that by now
