| Post subject: | Booster vs no Booster |
Hi Team, I picked up a LWB bare chassis for free, now i'm on the hunt for a ute cab. It seems ALOT easier to track down a 1lt (no Booster) than a 1.3lt (Booster) cab. The car's basically going to be built for 4x4 only, and will have disks all round. Therefor my question is, is it really that much better running a booster? or given the car will not be daily driven would it not matter to much. Thanks  Chris |

Depends on the rest of the setup. I like my unboosted brakes but you need to very carefully choose booster size and with a low geared auto it can be tiresome due to pedal weight. If I was building again I'd build boosted. |

Okay, it's quite difficult to mod a booster to fit a 1.0lt chassis correct? |

Chassis is the same. It's the body that's the problem. Yes. The firewall is substantially different unless you find a type 3 ute cab. |

Running a remote booster is always an option. Pretty common in rods and I've seen it a few times in drift/track cars. No clue how it would translate to a 4x4 but nothing jumps out at me. A lot of effort and a few $$$ though. |

I've seen 2 1ls with remote boosters. I've never felt the need for a booster in my unboosted Suzukis but they're near stock (so light) and running smaller tyres than most. |

Just cut down a swb soft top and put a Maruti back on it Easy to find. Cheaper. More room |

Could you cut out a firewall from a wreck maybe? |

Ive done a couple booster conversions on marutis. Just swap the pedal box and enlarge the hole in the firewall, pretty simple. |
