The driver does not notice this interplay of motor and brakes, as pedal feel remains absolutely normal, according to Bosch.īosch has integrated a motor into the iBooster to control the degree of brake boosting via a two-stage gear unit for situation-dependent support on demand. If the brakes to be applied harder, the iBooster generates the additional braking pressure needed in the traditional way, using the brake master cylinder. you could even add the air conditioning compressor and a coolant pump. a simple belt drive of the motors and it's sorted, you could do the same with the power steering pump because by keeping the torque converter, you can also have a slow motor spin 'idle' setting. they are not terribly reliable items where an alternator lasts for ages. You could always go down that path and sort the 12v recharging at the same time so you don't need a Dc to DC converter to keep the 12v battery topped up. and exhauster is the term for a vacuum pump that is often mounted on the back of a diesel alternator to create vacuum for the brake booster. I checked the Blade, it has a flash raher large DC motor driven exhauster, complete with an oil feed, haven't figured out how it gets the oil supply to feed into the exhauster to keep the vanes lubricated and sealed against the housing. The Evilbay link is just to show you want they are, I'm not selling either of these ones because I'll need them for the Kombi conversion and a spare.

Tesla optional is on the table, but I suspect will require a bit more fabrication… may go down that path if this turns out to be too noisy, but I’m hoping with some rubber and a good bracket this should be a quick easy option to tidy it up for now.Ī good article on wiring the Tesla booster here for future reference:Ĭovers the Gen 1 and Gen 2, and has another article on mechanical installation too. I’ll take one, Terry, thanks (will PM you for $ and postage details).

An additional safety feature is a 100% fail-safe system providing manual backup in the event of unit or master cylinder failure. Used in conjunction with the supplied master cylinder the Universal Brake Assist yields a 100% increase in system pressure compared to typical unboosted 1 inch bore master cylinder, and unlike a vacuum booster the Universal Brake Assist does not reach a “saturation point,” but continues to provide a linear increase in pushrod force with increasing pedal force. Brake pedal input force is increased using a unique combination of both hydraulic and mechanical systems to increase the master cylinder pushrod force by 75%. The Universal Brake Assist is a completely self contained system that requires no vacuum, no hydraulic pressure, and no electrical power. This new brake booster system takes assisted braking to a new level of performance without the use of any external assistance. introduces its new Universal Brake Assist. My car has 9' discs but no booster - it does need two feet on the pedal to pull up quickly though.Įngineered Components, Inc. Unfortunately hot rodders, diesels and any car hobbiest that has turbo boosted a car uses electric-vacuum assist - so it has precedence. What about some kind of electromagnetic booster for power assisted braking? Ideas for power assisted braking without using a traditional vacuum booster that's totally silent and maybe even more reliable. There has to be a better way to achieve the same results especially with OEM EV's. What about ground up EV builds like the I3 and Model S do they use a vacuum booster for power assisted braking? The Imiev was originally a ICE car so I guess the vacuum booster was retained. Vacuum was always there in abundance with a ICE running. I wonder if it's just a throwback from the good old days. It made me think it's really the only thing on the car that makes any noise. It's the one thing that spoils the EV experience. As I slowed gently for the car in front to park the peacefulness was rudely interrupted by BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT ! The vacuum pump buzzing away. I could actually hear the sound as every section of the rubber tread pattern flexed and squelched as It contacted the pavement while I gently turned. The window was down and The car was so quiet at very low speeds. Rolling along at just 10 - 20 kph trying to find a park. I was driving the Imiev today through a shopping center car park.
