Power assist brakes, Has anyone done it? Options

[theer]

I Race an LS2 powered 914 and an LS1 powered 944 with a bunch of other guys. The 944 has a Ford hydro-boost system in place of the stock vacuum booster (no room with the v8). Works great, if maybe a little touchy for my taste.

The 914 has upgraded Boxster brakes, but no power assist. I like it better, but everyone else prefers the assist.

Has anyone figured out a way to get power assist for 914 brakes? We are pursuing an idea to use a Tesla brake module in the front trunk, with a stock MC (cap off all but one brake line) driving a slave cylinder which activates Tesla master. Even Better would be a electro brake module that’s hydraulically activated directly from the master…

We are still brainstorming, so any ideas are welcome!

Thanks!

These are a few options for hydraulically activated remote boosters. These things are used in vans and things like that where the engine compartment is tight. For the "single system" ones like the Jeep unit, you'd use two, one for the front and one for the rear. Mount anywhere the hoses can go.

The double system could still be used in conjunction with a balance bar style master if you want perfect bias adjustment. Or just use a rear proportioning valve.

As for the vacuum source, I used to have a motorcycle powered race car and I used the little GM vacuum pump for a vacuum source and it was totally good. But honestly, you could just use engine vacuum with a check valve (like all factory setups). Even on a race track, you'll add plenty of vacuum when engine braking and it's stored for the next time you brake. Unless you "never lift" of course, then yeah, get the pump lol.
