How much vacuum does the brake assist pull?
Thinking of using it as a vacuum pump for the engine. Planning on doing away with the pcv system, and running an electric vaccum pump. On our race cars we used to use the ford emissions electric pumps with awesome success. While working on my truck tonight, i noticed that brake pump and thought why not use another one of those. Bet i can get one for next to nothing at a salvage yard.
So, run both pcv hoses off valve covers to another brake assist pump inlet, then outlet to a catch can. Hook up to key switch on. They i keep a small pull on the crank case, and get rid of the oil in the cumbustion process (detrimental to a nitrous asssisted combo). I dont mind just running the pcv system to a catch can but i really hate to leave any power on the table by deleting the negative pressure effect of the current pcv system.
