Na Brake Booster Can't Handle The Boooost

I have an R33 GTS-t Series 1. It originally had an aspirated RB25 swapped into it for P Plater laws, 2 years into owning it I then reimplanted a S2 RB25det. All is sweet, only when I disconnect the brake booster to intake manifold hose. If that is connected, it makes a screaming sound, as if the brake booster could only handle atmospheric pressure, not the pressure of a turbo. What are my solutions here so i can still have safe, working brakes and the full 7pounds of boost?

basically all working properly the booster should never see boost as stated above there is ment to be a one way valve in the line, if the booster actually sees boost the brakes wont work well at all. check the one way valve to ensure it works, and also make sure the booster isnt stuffed and leaking,
as above where is the screaming noise actually comming from and when does it do it, idle, driving, only on boost ?

I have bolted off the hoses so there is no leak. There is no valve what so ever between manifold and brake booster inlet. Will go search around for one, thanks guys.

No need for an extra valve, the vacuum hose connection at the booster has the non return valve incorporated.

Are you sure the booster was OK prior to the transplant?

not really and easy enough to loose when people swap engines around, unlike alot of other cars the one way valve isnt actually the connection on the booster, yet a little upstream, heres a pic i stole from another sau thread to show it post-132-0-75931100-1371380173.jpg

its the little valve just behind the cap for the master,

however pushing boost into the booster may have damaged it to yet you will find that out when you fit a one way valve

A few years back when I was a red P Plater I switched all the hoses to blue silicon ones. I had almost switched all the silicon hoses back to the genuine black ones except the hose from the brake booster to the intake. I went out into my parts bin, found the original hose (noticed it has a built in valve that the aftermarket ones didn't) and now it's working perfectly. Full boost and brakes! Thanks for the help though, would've had no clue otherwise. Summary is NA pressure doesnt require the valve, turbo does.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
