ITB Conversions, Brake servo?

[midge]

I have Russ's itb's ph1 172 running standard ecu, however im going to go stand alone onit, what shall i do about brake servo? this is what is currently tapped into the manifold, is there anyway of utilising this? or would have to take the manifold off and get something bigger tapped in?

 

[midge]

It currently has the brake servo running off the 'map bar' where the 4 vaccum hose's go, i surpose i could just block the map sensor end and keep the vaccum hose's and the bar and just run it like that ?

I take it its taking a vacuum from the manifold somewhere? Should be fine to use that I would have thought. Failing that a vacuum servo motor off a turbo diesel car running off the cams will give you instant vacuum.

Mine takes a couple of minutes to build up a vacuum so im hoping to go the assisted route. Hutchie knows more than I do about the possibilities of it

see the green pipes on mine

works perfectly, and I have abox of fittings in stock

 

[midge]

Yes looks good, so you cna supply all the bits needed yes? ill just have to get the manifold re-done, and block the middle 2?

 

[Cro]

You could run a line from all 4 connected together

just go down to pirtek and get the bits!

 

[midge]

I may just use the thing i have, afterall its doing the job, its just a bit ugly.

 

[Fred@BTM]

what ecu you going to use?

 

[midge]

The one Danny is supplying, canems

 

[sideways danny]

If your current setup is soft pipes then I'd change it ASAP, they suck flat under vacuum. Can do you fittings if you can't find any locally

 

[midge]

He said he did have a problem with them sucking flat but they have since been replaced, and the brakes are fine, i will try to move the bar forward i think, and move the coil pack to the side

Danny im after some new pipe for my fittings aswell, ill be in touch

 

[sideways danny]

what you need?

LOL

 

[midge]

Im going to stick with what's on there, this was ment to be a cheap way to itb's, and ive already talked myself in to buying an ecu!

 

[sideways danny]

LOL, I'll chuck in some fittings with the ECU but you'll have to find some pipe

 

[Russ_16v]

That current pipe from the mani to the MAP tank is good, they dont suck flat, (the pipe I used before did) though as Fred suggested a non return valve in the brake servo pipe will make the pedal travel less.

Oh, and brakes work great from cold

If you need anything from Pirtek I should be able to get it on the cheap ax my dad supplies hose to Pirtek

 

[midge]

i do need a couple of hose's for my pas, ill pm you soon
