My clutch booster is squealing. I was going to replace it, but then dang ole' dang ole, i found a booster delete set up. How much heavier would a stock clutch, or dual carbon clutch be if this booster was removed? Honestly, would it be worth it? r32 gtr 1991

worth it? well its not going to be an upgrade.

i assume a delete setup would simply be a bypass? could you not bypass it temporarily and see what the clutch feels like that way?

Put it this way - with a heavy duty clutch I looked into fitting a booster but was too much trouble and never got round to it. On the other hand if there was one already fitted I can't think of any reason to get rid of it.

I haven't tried back to back, but almost no cars use a clutch booster.....Nissan over engineered a lot with the GTR which is great, but I think in this case it wasn't necessary

apart from the oil system

lolololol

Can't you just disconnect the vacuum to the booster and see how hard it is?

Or push the clutch a few times with the engine off? Unless they are different bore master cylinders, that's how it will feel with no booster.

How easy is this ???

Like Ben said, drop the vacuum by depressing the clutch a few times and then see how you like the un-assisted pedal.

Certainly not for me, I want all the assist available.

Takes some load off the well known-weak-as-piss pedal, why would you go to the trouble of deleting it.

Pay the bucks.

A bit under $300 from Kudos gets you a new unit or around $100 will get the old one reconditioned.

Drove around with the vacuum disconnected. It's not heavy, but after a while it just gets annoying. I have decided to just replace the booster. Also, the annoying squealing went away when I disconnected it lol. Proper troubleshooting without even trying.

      Looking at the photos, you could easily just drop this pipe and dump into atmosphere  Just 1 or 2 quick hits for data acquisition - if have a heat shield material and/or sheet metal, maybe just use wire/metal cable ties and attach it in a way to deflect heat from melting nearby wires.

      Yes, well, keep in mind that the air is intake air, which equal boost + possible oil. If there is a fine deposition of oil/scunge that then gets hot and carbonises, it could look just like that. Probably shouldn't be leaking. Might just be normal for that product. Hard to know if it is relevant.

      Wrapped up putting the motor back in today. I have a stainless flex turbo drain pipe like you see on cummins and that funny enough PRP started selling. I generally prefer these but sadly they come with a finite amount of times they can be bent before they snap. Took well over a week for a replacement to arrive.  I was able to prime the pump but I will more then likely wait until next friday to take it on its madden voyage. I also installed the nozzles for my direct port WMI setup but plugged the nozzle holders for now. I'll tube it with Swagelok SS tubing and fittings next chance I get. No rush, i'll be breaking it for a week or two anyways.

      I could definitely do some logs without the VCT enabled for sure. I believe we tried it on the dyno and it still spiked but wouldn't hurt to try again and have the logs    I might be able to use some metal cable ties and hold the gate open entirely, I'd need to see about that one.   What do we think about these marks on the cap of the actuator? This is where the two parts push together where the diaphragm spring is. To me they look like air has been sleeping past?? Specifically talking about those black stains above the lower rim/lip. They can be rubbed away as if it's just an exhaust stain.
