I haven't been on the Hamb for a while. Life got busy and a job change dictated not a lot of spare time. I am currently thrashing on my current build and am undecided on whether or not to run a brake booster. My question is can you successfully run a brake booster with a blower. I do have a vacuum port at the base of the carb. Thanks in advance for your help. Peter
Only if you run a 'vacuum reservoir' would be my guess. You have basically two on a conventional application; the booster itself and the volume of the intake manifold plenum. You're lacking the latter one. Another choice may be an electric vacuum pump as used on a lot of diesels. I'm sure there's a way to do it, given factory supercharged cars, but it may take more paraphernalia than you have room for...
Seeing that you're in NZ, grab an alternator off a Jap Diesel with the vacuum pump on the back of it. They're good enough to haul-up a diesel truck. [and cheap and plentiful]
Thanks for the suggestion I will see what's out there and what size they are. Sent from my SM-G930F using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I had not thought of that. I had a quick look on Trade Me and found this. This could be a good solution thanks. Sent from my SM-G930F using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Slick set-up… You may want to check out how these were plumbed in an OEM application, you may still need a reservoir can.
I will put in a reservoir can. I can fabricate one up to suit available space. Thanks for the help. Sent from my SM-G930F using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
On a Mitsy Pajero, and Nissan Mistral the vacuum is plumbed direct to the booster. They have enough vacuum to "suck start a Harley" They need an oil feed and drain plumbed in [similar to turbos]
That's what I'm thinking [the internal regulated Alts are easy to hook up] Go for a sunday shopping trip to "pick a part" with your phone camera. Some are LH and some RH
