RELOCATING the Brake Booster ?? Is it Hard??

[T88 ON BOARD]

Hey all

I think i will be needing to relocate the brake booster is this a hard thing to do?

Whats the deal with this?

It may be in the way So i dont know yet....

Any ideas?

[browny]

Can I ask why?

Having stuffed around with fitting a non oem booster and relocating the clutch master on my car (not a Skyline) I'd suggest you could be in for a world of trouble. In particular, setting up the brake pedal so it will still actuate the booster in its new position whilst maintaining acceptable pedal feel might be fun.

That said, anything is possible and if its only a few mm it might not be too hard.

yeh i would maybe need to move it over 5cm max...

its not definate that i will need to move it because im getting a new plenum am im thinking it might not fit just wondering.......

[browny]

I'd be making the plenum to suit the car, rather than modifying the car to suit the plenum.

5cm is what I would consider a lot. Sticking your head under the dash would probably give you a good idea of the degree of difficulty...

changing the brake booster setup would take you a week non stop working on it to get it all working properly! head aches plus!!

modifying the plenum would take about 3 hours at the most, less headaches and it wouldn't effect the power at all, you choose which way you wana go with it..

Well unless it's one massive pleenum it's only going to hit the clutch booster (GTR) in which case just remove it..

Moving the brake booster would not be easy.. it would be a lot easier to remove it... but it wouldn't be much fun around town..

u could spend a bomb on inboard Willwood Pedal sets.. and do away with all of your standard pedals and slave/master cylinders completely..... u know like ..similar to how the V8supercars have their inboard pedals setup on the floor

but thats MASSIVE amounts of work... repositioning the seat ..filling up holes ..fitting new pedals.. engineers cert.. etc etc

i just received the design of the plenum and i think the clutch booster is now my Problem it may be in the way about 2 cm's or so...

What can i do ? if i remove it what changes?

[Skyrine-Dave]

just a question... why are you having a plenum such that it is going to cause clearance issues?

would a decent plenum and a decent designer be able to make the plenum and accomodate for the clutch and brake boosters??

how about a Greddy plenum ?

[T88 ON BOARD]

I have a greddy plenum sitting right next to me...But the car will be making over 1000hp so i will need something bigger and less restrictive...

The person making the plenum is not in this country....But thats not a real issue as he has the mesurements and some parts i sent up...

The only thing is to do a custom large plenum the clutch booster is in the way..But things are working out as we just need to tone down the rear size of the plenum and shorten the runners

Anyways i still might have to remove and relocate the clutch booster so any one know whats the best way ?
