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! |
