Omega General Help / Re: Smaller brake booster (>90% retrofit)

« on: 06 December 2020, 08:18:49 »

The problem is that I need to be sure of that it does not collide with the original X25XE engine.
To fit the turbo I have to relocate the ABS unit to where the battery normally is mounted and because of that relocate the battery to the trunk space.

But I still need to make sure that the X25XE will still fit when I relocate things because the original engine need to be there once a year when it is time for inspection of the car.

I then have to be sure that the brake booster does not collide with the V6 engine if I move it a few centimeters forward.

Nah, maybe C20LET in that case. There are always too bad internals in newer engines.
But regardless which GM II engine I choose they are never equipped with Trionic 5 or 7 engine management system, which, on the other hand the Saab B204/B234 and B205/B235 is.

Maybe I should just move the OEM brake booster a few centimeters forward.

Omega General Help / Smaller brake booster (>90% retrofit)

« on: 05 December 2020, 07:46:11 »

Hello!

This will be my first post in this forum.
What I am wondering is if there is a smaller brake booster that will fit in the Omega engine bay?
Because I live in a right traffic country my car is LHD.
And because the Saab engine I am retrofitting in the car has the exhaust outlets at the left side (when the engine is "RWD-mounted") my exhaust manifold will collide with the brake booster.

Does anyone have a tip of a brake booster (with atleast 90% retrofit, because I do not want to rebuild "everything") where the diameter is a lot smaller compared to the original Lucas brake booster?
In essence bolt on is what I am looking for.
