Re: Treadle Vac Conversion

On the iBooster (Bosch) unit I didn't see much in the way of size specs. Is there info as to physical size of the overall unit, recommended ratio and stroke length needed for max fluid out?

The overall unit on the EVcreate site looks about half the length of the vacuum booster and master but maybe a similar diameter?? If so, was thinking it might be possible to make a dual stage ratio conversion package that would use the original pedal and bolt in the original spot on the engine side as per the BTV. The Tesla could bolt on the end of that package at the BTV downward angle or if still too long maybe be angled so the Tesla master end will be able to miss the steering box. The actuating rod looks rather long so wonder if that could be changed.

Another question might be how expensive is the Bosch iBooster unit vs the Electroboost. From what I see available Bosch units from Speedway look similar and somewhat comparable in price to the Electroboost. A unit on Ebay listed for a Honda looks more like the Tesla Gen I unit on EVcreate and is less expensive. Also, what kind of support or parts would be available if it needed something down the road. As I understand it the ElectroBoost uses standard US available parts. Not sure how available Bosch parts are.
