side drafts and tii brake booster

[autowerks]

some guy on ebay is selling one inch trumpets that do away with having to replace your brake booster, the cost is $39.00 for two, I have ordered a couple.

I think you really want to keep all of your trumpets equal length if possible...

 

[autowerks]

then you have to order 3 sets of trumpets

Agreed. I think that you are the "you" in that statement.

How close are your current trumpets? What filters are you planning on using?

I use a UNI Filter with a 15 degree angled mount and it clears a standard booster on my 2002... You might have similar results with your set up? You have pics?

Thanks guys, my trumpets are too close about an inch and half from the booster

Pierce Manifolds in Gilroy, CA may have additional options.

Have seen shorter horns out there. Also neat low profile screen options instead of socks.

Hth.

checked and they did not have any

I have the set-up with two short trumpets in the middle to clear the brake booster.

Don't see how that will ever balance completely...

Check this old thread.

I have a set of 45DCOEs with horns that are cut at an angle. I'll try to get some good pics of the design... Gotta be someone out there that makes them.

I think there are some Alfa horns that curve up

I think it is the only way if some one wants to keep their original brake booster?

VGS made a manifold back in the day for the M30 which offsets the first carb to clear the thermostat and raises and tilts the carbs to clear the stock brake booster. I posted an auction for one with carbs a couple weeks ago. Very rare to find. I got lucky acquiring mine. I still use angled filters so I can run a longer trumpet and filter.

I cut the bottom of my center air horns at an angle to clear the brake booster originally but eventually replaced it with a tii booster.

Steve you are right, it depends on the intake manifold as well, my side draft kit came from Pierce manifold with not enough room for two inch trumpet

Even with the Tii booster I had to go to the two shorter horns in the middle to clear.
Now that engine and car are apart for rebuild I am going to change to a GM style hydroboost so I won't have this problem anymore.
I will also have better power brakes.

 

[Stevehose]

Or you could do an Alpina airbox setup

They have 90 degree elbows up from the carbs to the airbox.

 

[autowerks]

Now that is a great idea

Is that only an option for the 3.0 with disks all around, or would a setup like that work on the 2800cs with drums in the rear?

I can help with that, what size carbs are you using? attached pic showing typical Alpina setup (not my pic) and pic without airbox (my pic)
