Here you go, with a line to brake booster too. Notice check valves, OEM and aftermarket.



Zip ties are very handy for all kinds of use...

 

did I read your running and electric vacuum pump? Looks like you still have a line (furtherest to the right) that has vacuum for the brakes.

How do you have it setup?

 

Old pic, that line is now removed all the way.

 

Do you have a pic of the brake vacuum pump. What's it out off? Is it working well for you. Been thinking of doing this over the 997 gt2 setup.

 

I never really understood why people constantly want to reengineer Porsche stuff. The OEM vacuum pump is a proven set up, takes an hour to install. Direct bolt on, 100% plug and play. Couldn't be any simpler. Not saying there aren't other ways to do it, but why??

 

Yes, but it's also an expensive modification - which I haven't been able to find any second hand parts. And Porsche use a hella electric pump on the cayanne and now the 9A1 991 cars including the gt3 (with a bunch of additional electronics to control it). It's probably cheaper and easier to go the route you have but....

 

Because we don't have as much disposable money for car projects. Anyone with money can throw it at a car without learning or understanding. So we use our minds and talents to learn new ways. And new things are learned and shared amongst the community and we grow together instead of being spoon feed the same ****. Not to sound like a condescending jackass, but the enthusiast community thrives on these mindsets as much as they do the knowledge and experiences of people like you.

 

PM sent.

The cost of this is about 1/10th of that GT3 pump and this doesn't rust like those tend to do... Anyway IMO much better than 996's OEM system.

+ reservoir (OEM plastic)+ wiring (relay & fuse, triggered from fuel pump and fed from battery).

 

I get it, and I'm probably the one guy that's shared more stuff with this community than most others. I also hate throwing money at the car just like the next guy. I just don't think I'm smart enough to retrofit something like that and ensure 100% functionality but mainly I'm paranoid of trying to re-engineer critical safety items like parts of the brake system. For the cost of a set of tires I'll sleep better knowing that the stuff will work 100% without issues as designed by people at the factory that are way smarter than I am. Simply knowing that Porsche engineered two different pumps based on the rpm capability of the engine is enough to tell me that this is a fairly critical item. To properly control an electronic pump without the luxury of an on board OEM controller may be easy for some but it's beyond my pay grade. Thats all...

 

You share a bunch. You are one of the best resources here. But some of us differ in that we will dig into a project like this and succeed and share. That is all. ��

 

A pic before the winter:

 

Looks so mean! Crazzzzy

 

Very aggressive looking car! Good job

 

Your car is insane Pete !!
Can you let us how much HP power your putting out and how much the car weighs ?

 

600ish crankHP, 1420 kg dry.
