Steve, I don’t think there is any confusion on the wiring. I was teasing my brother Yarb…

I wonder. Do we need the Bosch brake pedal as well? I’m inclined to do this if it doesn’t require the pedal modification as well…

Oops! Hurt some feelings. So, the @Yarbinator will tell us where the three wires go. One is battery +, one is battery -. But I just can’t figure out what to do with the third wire??? John? Can you help? 🤓 This thing apparently boosts effort by 500#! Which makes sense. It’s made to stop 5000# cars and trucks. You’ll hear it referred to as a Tesla booster. It’s not. Tesla buys it from Bosch. Other ICE cars were using it two years before Tesla. It would be interesting to see what this booster could do with stock calipers… physics tells us not to put too much weight close to the dancing shoes.

Ok, cancel the Yarbinator. I found a video on YouTube and it only takes three wires. Frankly, the video is one of the best produced car vids I’ve ever seen on YT. If I knew how to link it…

We’d need the @Yarb inator to help us with the electrons.

Apologies to Zedyone. We’ve either hijacked his thread or added a schmit-load of complexity. 😎

Good find Cap. I snatched the Gen 2 wiring pic.

Looks like a bunch more room in there doesn’t it?

Found it. So, this guy on Facebook posted these pictures. Apparently, he used a Bosch Gen 2 iBooster. The housing, I get the impression he found an open source file and 3D printed it. Here is what I have, he says it works better than his GTR brakes!

This guy was using an undefined Honda Accord booster. We need to figure it out. It bolted right up!

Zzzzzzzzzz…..

A social media post caught my eye last week. Facebook Z forum. Some guy had put a Honda Accord electric booster on his Z. I have tried to get more information without success. This is interesting because it doesn’t depend on engine vacuum. With the proliferation of alternator swapping, the extra electrons wouldn’t seem to be a problem. What are your thoughts?

And a white picket fence… so American!

This one’s got four wheels!

Ready for my close-up Mr. de Mille…

@Yarb

Pete’s slow-to-go-fast car…

Well hell! @Tanker what year was that Honda electrical brake booster? Did you get a hold of the 3D print file? I’m intrigued but I can’t find the Facebook thread! 😫

Millen!

Check MSA. This morning they had the aftermarket ones on clearance.

Well? Did you remember? 🤪
