Porsche brembo caliper brake swap for 473$
Next evolution I might embark on is power assisted brakes. The manual master works fine during hard braking and I didn't really notice any high brake pedal effort needed during any of the runs. But I believe it’d improve comfort for everyday driving.
I have a 2018 scat pack challenger and I love the brake pedal feel in that car. Come to find out mopar utilizes a vacuum pump to supply the booster, not engine vacuum. Which is extremely cool to me. So it got those oh so dangerous new project gears turning, “what if I can swap the booster and assembly from a challenger onto the duster”.
First thing I wanted to do is verify P/N’s between the different models. And from the best that I can tell, mopar uses the same booster/pump/MC setup from the base car all the way to the hellcat in 2018 lol
I ended up finding a booster setup off eBay with 2740 miles for 30 bucks shipped. At that price it is worth the risk that it’s not correct, or will not be able to work.
I have zero idea when I will get around to attempting this. There’s also a ton of variables that could potentially stop this project dead in its tracks. I still need to get into the D/O of my FSM and figure out how the booster supply system actually functions, I could be wrong about the pump setup. If this swap does happen, if it ever does, I’ll be sure to post up the results in another thread.
