Electric Brake Booster

[jaybee]

Here's something I just discovered, an electric brake booster. It doesn't take up a lot of space, and unlike hydroboost, the other small booster option, it doesn't require hydraulic lines. It will also continue to provide full brake boost without vacuum. These things are on a number of OEM applications now. This video shows how it also is made to work with EV regenerative braking and active cruise control, which obviously aren't going to be big factors in the hot rod world.

Superfast Matt is one of my favorite YouTube channels. He's done the homework on how to make one of these boosters work in a hot rod application...though his is electrified.

This guy has his own information on how to install the unit.

More information directly from Bosch, if you prefer to read rather than watch a video.

Looks like these things are popping up on everything from Hondas to Silverados, and particularly on hybrids and EVs.
