- Hi all, Does anyone know the boost ratio of the stock Girling brake servo in a BJ8? Last night I replaced my original unit with the 8 inch Powertune unit (PN LE10117). The boost ratio is 3.00:1 which

- The original boosters provided a pretty hogh boost although I don't know the ration per se. I mush prefer the aftermarket boosters with a little less boost - it is better for feeling the brakes whil

- Just went through all of this when re-boostering several local BJ8's. We decided on PBR (Australian) boosters. They are (or were) made in a couple of vacuum chamber sizes, and 3 or 4 body bore sizes

- OK, now I got a question: is the 'boost ratio' a measure of the amplification--i.e. 3.25 applies 3.25 times the force applied at the pedal? Don't see how that could be stated so unequivocally, since

- Has made me wonder as well. I had my original bj8 girling mk2a booster rebuilt by Past Parts lts here in the uk. The test figures they supplied for the rebuilt unit are: primary bar = 20 vacuum = 24

- Questions about the Lockheed replacement servo. I have had one in my BJ8 for several years. Every once in awhile the brakes seem to grab somewhat harshly at the very end of a deceleration and stop.

- The numbers I was given for the PBR VH40 (5/8" bore) are apparently hydraulic inlet pressure. I have no idea as to parameters. 450 in, 1470 out - for a boost ratio of (approx.) 3:25. Similar calcula

- I would check the non return valve of the servo. The brake force should be max when you slow down on the engine creating max. vacuum. Kees Oudesluijs Mark Schneider schreef: _________________________

- As I understand the servo, vacuum pressure is applied to both sides of the piston. It is atmospheric pressure that creates the "boost". Does the boost really vary with the amount of vacuum or is it a

- Vacuum is applied to both sides of the vacuum piston when brakes aren't when the brakes are applied atmospheric air is applied to the 'top' of the piston. The difference between the vacuum and atmosp

- The amount of boost depends on the vacuum. when you press the brake pedal with the engine switched of and start the engine up you will feel the pedal going down slightly as the vacuum builds up. Kees
