here is the bottle and the aluminum brackets i made to hold it in place
sorry about the condition of the carpet,it's going to be replaced anyway,and sorry about the blurry image,still trying to get used to the focal length of this camera

going to try and hook up the lines today

coope · 07-05-2007, 09:16 AM

what does it do

lostforawhile · 07-05-2007, 01:27 PM

oh, i anticipate some vaccume problems with the dual carbs and the other cam going in,this helps store vaccume for the brake booster,so your booster always has enough vaccume even if you have a lower then normal manifold vaccume. there was no where to mount it under the hood,so it's mounted behind my seat,no one can sit behind me anyway with the seat all the way back.

it should work good,people have been doing it for years,if you use it for your power brakes,you t it into the line then the check valve goes into the line before the t,in other words the vaccume input on the booster and the bottle are attached together. if you don't want to fabricate one,you can buy one ready made from summit racing,or jegs.

some more pictures of the vaccume bottle being installed
feed through from the inside,carpet is pulled back,one day i'll get my pedals installed.

bottle behind the drivers seat

AN T fitting installed in engine compartment

firebraid line from feedthrough to t fitting from underneath

i realize the check valve is on the wrong side of the bottle,i just wanted to keep rainwater out,since it started raining again. i will fix it later

frantik · 07-09-2007, 06:51 PM

you're a madman

that vaccum bottle thing is like an analog hack hehe.. pretty cool

lostforawhile · 07-09-2007, 07:22 PM

what is an analog hack?

Ichiban · 07-09-2007, 07:38 PM

Doesn't the brake booster have to have a vacuum accumulator built in to it?

it stores some,but not very much,i'm also going to use some vaccume actuators inside of the car,and this will also store vaccume for them when the car is off. some future projects.

The 2g's actually have a vacuum bottle located under the cowl, it's plumbed into the HVAC controls, I never knew it was there until I removed the cowl grille for painting. I'm sure I have a spare, you want it?

knarg · 07-10-2007, 06:27 PM

that's pretty awesome, i must say

with the one i installed,i doubt i'll need another one,lol,but thanks. this one will probably hold enough vaccume for 5 cars.
