Fabbed up the Vacuum Canister today...

A few weeks ago I posted about having some issues with running out of brake booster while left foot braking at Autocrosses.
Surprisingly this is a fairly common problem and no one has come up with a good solution. So today I fabbed up one using a $30 generic vacuum can from [ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ZMBSM0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1"]Amazon[/ame] [attach]210304[/attach] [attach]210305[/attach] Had to relocate the horn/buzzer thing, but it fit nicely next to the air box Think I'm gonna get out of this for ~$45 after hoses and fittings :) |

Hey! That's pretty cool. I've run into the booster issue lfb'ing as well. Nice work. And that microscope pic hahaha!
|
Looks great.

Have you driven the car yet? How do the brakes feel now?
How are the lines routed now from the booster to the manifold? |
I just got around to buying line today. I plan to disconnect the original line, and hook my "send" to the intake manifold fitting. Run it under the intercooler, to the can, than back and use a straight or 90deg barb fitting to reattach to the end of the original booster line

Sound good, kind of interested in this... post up some pics / review once you got it all squared away :)
|
You should make a ton of them and sell them for like $100.
I am sure others out there have similar problems w. no solution. |
The can is in and working fine. There shouldn't be (and isn't) any change in standard brake feel. The canister is only going to make a difference under extreme left foot braking situations.
As for selling the thing... Nah. I'd rather give away the plans and contribute to the community. |
Either inspired by this thread or some mention of it elsewhere, I was researching it a bit and happened upon [URL="http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1887871"]this[/URL] on the nasty socks. A more extreme upgrade, but an intriguing one nonetheless.
Upping performance is cool and all, but I like mods that lower the floor in addition to raising the ceiling. Aside pump noise (assuming I can hear it over my exhaust lolz), seems a good move. I'm looking into cheaper, piecemeal options than the kit the guy uses. Will post as I find more... |
