Brake enhancer DIY

[Stanchiam]

I have installed a brake vacuum enhancer which will increase the vacuum stored and to enhance braking performances.

It also give extra few braking even when engine stop or stalled, thus giving extra safety in case traveling at high speed and engine suddenly stall

Puzzled:

Can share with us how your brake vaccum works?

Also how your brake vaccum enhancer works?

just like a pivot to a battery-theoretically speaking

主要作用：提高车辆的刹车稳定性和操控性的好帮手，使得您的爱车刹车更灵敏更轻松，让您在行车时更加安全！！安全行驶为第一要素就是在快速行驶或发生紧急状况时，要能及时的在很短的距离里面把车停下来。刹车辅助器就是在原来刹车的基础上起到了辅助作用，使作用力相同时，刹车距离明显缩短，做到了轻、短、灵敏的要求。 　　

 

工作原理：令刹车泵里的真空量增加，使你一脚踩下去，制动力度大大提高，从而提高了驾驶安全性，即使车子已经熄火了，它还会使刹车制动能力保持一段时间。

in short, it is a vacuum storage device

The orange hose you used seems to be some air hose. I don't think that can withstand heat and vacuum. Get those rubber braided type for safety.

whats the red thing between intake manifold and cam case ?

whats the red thing between intake manifold and cam case ?

its just high temp silicon i put onto the tube to seal up and also to secure in place

and the orange tube connects to the oil catch tank and airbleed combo kit

ok, u know where to get and how much?

Ubi Ave 2. Its near the famous shop selling roast pork one. They sell braided hoses that could withstand high temp.

disappointed the brake boaster only slightly enhance the brake, not what i expected

anyway, it is good for safety

but the airbleed kit i like very much, now gear +1 level...lol

Stan, i think your tank is too big

 

the one i have is quite small

big good mah, kiasu

can store more vacuum inside

maybe already improved but i am picky

anyway, shop say this is better than the f1z/hks version

its depending on what type of metal is used for the tank, too big is not good, you can't store more that much vaccum for such a big tank.,

Having a larger vaccum tank will not enhance your braking unless you repeatedly step hard on your brakes within a very short time.

 

When you step on your brakes, the vaccum is used for the brake booster. Then you step again and need vaccum again. If there is not enough vaccum, then your brakes will become hard to step and vaccum tank will help.

 

However, when you step on your brakes and hold it there, you do not need additional vaccum so it won't exactly help at all.

 

If you really want to improve your braking, changing brake pads is still the most cost effective way and you get very noticeable results. OF course at the expense of your rotors.

 

Btw, also need to highlight if you are installing BBKs, make sure your brake booster is hable to handle the larger calipers, else your braking may get worse than stock instead.

I have tried installing this shown on this website.

I-Power Brake Booster

 

Installed on my Altis and don't find it useful.

Took it out after 1 month.

Installed Stainless Steel Brake Hose with EBC green stuff brake pad.

Better results compared to brake booster.

EBC brake pad really bites the rotor thou.

 

Not really bothered so long it can stop the car in time.

I strongly believe car system designers must have thought of all these problems, such after market products are produced to tap on customers ignorance on auto technology.

If vacuum generated from the engine is not sufficient to meet any sudden engine failure than petrol powered cars system designers should have consider using a vacuum pump driven off from the engine or via the alternator like those use in diesel engines. But so far I have not come across such set-up ( correct me, maybe I am out of date on auto technology development).
