Brake booster, vielside intake, 2jz swap clearance issue.

[Flateric]

I am very close but not quite able to fit my vielside intake on my 2jz during my swap into a 1990 mkii.

My question is, can I dent my brake booster sluightly without killing it or is there a slightly smaller diameter booster of some other car that will fit for me?

Anyone have any other suggestions, I'll post a pic.

Man... haven't heard this issue in a LONG LONG time...

Form what I can remember (as it's been a few years), you can use a brake booster off the trucks, as it's smaller, but you won't get as much assist. Another option is the hydraulic brake booster (haven't seen anyone do that in a supra).

Could modify the intake (doubt you will considering it's cost)

 

[Flateric]

Well, you are right I have fully decided against modifying the intake at all no matter what.

I've been researching the design of the booster and from what I can get so far a dent should not be all that determental to it's operation or it's logevity at all. (Please correct me if I am wrong here)

All I need to complete this build now is a exhaust header and to decide on engine management, route my intercooler piping. Unfortunately I doubt I will beat the snow to the ground though.

Oh ya, any suggestions on waste gate selection? I'm not at home ATM so I post setup details and some pics later tomorow.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I have a hydro-boost unit that I made when I had the 2JZ in the car. There is plenty of room. the ony problem you run into is the brake fluid cap is close to the hood. $100 plus shipping and its yours. It also increases braking power. It has to be plumbed into the power steering.

Yea, the truck brake booster works and is smaller.

sorry for the bump, but what truck can you get it off of?

Old topic I forgot that I had even started but what I ended up doing and worked well but was bucket loads of work and I actually would recommend against doing is......I had the car completely stripped down bare to the metal for painting and sorta used 2 boosters to make one that is shifted about 1" over. It was a huge amount of work and a pain in the ass though. But yes, it did work.

I ran into this issue few years ago...
I might still have a hydroboost unit that would mount in the factory location. You have to plumb it in the factory PS system.. It will give you better braking also....
I have to see if I kept it or junked it ... LOL
