Ibooster bosch2/18/2023 ![]() After some more research the below video’s made me decide on the iBooster: It is being used in later Tesla Model S cars with Autopilot, in the model X, Chevrolet Bolt and Malibu and the Honda CR-V. I found it before and it’s an impressive piece of engineering. In the end I concluded the part from the Lexus RX 450H was only a sensor so also not an option.įinally the iBooster made by Bosch. ![]() However after looking at the Lexus part manuals it turned out to be only a small part of a larger system. I found interesting offerings of parts advertised as ‘ brake booster‘ which upon request were told to be 100% electric. I also looked at the systems used in a Lexus since they have a ‘drive by wire’ philosophy. And searching for and using 25 years old parts was not really an option. However I could not find any of the components new. In terms of weight of the car that could match quite nice. Advantage is that it is quite a stand alone system and I could even also implement the ABS. I found a page where someone started implementing that system in his Taunus. Henri (thanks!) suggested that the first type Ford Scorpio (1985-1994) had an electric brake booster. Since I do not have an electric equivalent of that onboard already it is not really an option for me. Is around 1500 euro’s so not an option for me.įurthermore there are various ‘hydroboost’ systems in which oil pressure from the steering pump is being used for power braking. In the US at ABS Powerbrakes you can buy an “ Electric High Power Electric Brake System” with a master cylinder, hydraulic accummulator and a pump. ![]() Therefore I conducted a search for power brakes without the need for a vacuum pump. Searching for power brakes without vacuum I really did not like the idea that once you enable the car, the first thing you hear is prrrrr from the pump building up vacuum. The Mes Dea pump I found was relatively quit, but in the end it’s still noisy. October last year I searched for a silent vacuum pump. Update: I opened a webshop for EV conversion parts and now offer a complete iBooster connector kit ![]()
