    Giving it a Jolt

    I should mention, once you have an EVC Jeep and it's running and all that good stuff, your mind wonders as every Jeep owners maker-mind does, to things that might be nice, like a breeze blowing on my foot box area when I driving. You think: I could pipe in air to make it even cooler down there...

    One more thing, the silence has a down side - you can hear EVERY single body movement and squeak and jingle and rub and noise - ALL previously masked by the normal drone of an ICE motor doing it's thing. EVERY SINGLE little noise you can hear. If my business plan is successful and I can be...

    Nope, none of the above, not at all. Especially fire - sure as heck worried about that more then when it was filled with a highly flammable liquid sloshing around then pressurized and shot into a fire-hot chamber to explode - a LOT less worry, as in not at all. NOW, let's get honest - the...

    Last night, randomly, 11:40 at night, I grabbed a cap, walked from my back door to my Jeep shop, got into my Jeep, turned the key to ON and drove silently into the night, time slipping away, taking in the city, hearing things I would never notice otherwise. All the mischief and exposure of an...

    THANKS - it's easily the most general fun I've ever had in my 44.5 years of owning Jeeps. I say 'general'' because I haven't taken it fully off road, crossed any streams, back trails, stuff like that. Yet... GREAT question - it's not super easy to figure out yet. I was shooting for 120 - 7...

    My first night drive: . You were right, the silence is so unexpected and amazing! You can't even hear the Volvo Power Steering.

    I thought so, wow, what a great restoration you had!! Remember when we talked, I told you it would take a LOT of work to finish up - these things are NOT easy. Did you see my first test drives on mine? I hope you're is or get stable because I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE driving mine and I'm only on day 4...

    Oh wait, I see the GREAT write up on IRATE (very cool take off on Pirate, someone's proud of themselves for thinking of that one!). This link: https://irate4x4.com/threads/ibooster-electric-brake-booster.394316/ WOW, so much there!

    That mounting flange CAD file is cool, thanks! I'll be most of this is academic until I have pump in hand - from what I've read, Gen 2 is the way to go. I'm pretty sharp, I can figure out the mounting, I was so happy to see there is a starting place using that stock Booster mounting bracket -...

    Damn, it's a STEP file, I've got to update my TurboCAD to the latest version to get that. THANKS, I'll send it to me SolidWorks designer to convert for me. - Patrick

    Do they, I don't get them, maybe it's because I'm registered, don't know. BUT, hands down, they have the deepest bench of knowledge over there. For me, I struggle with some of the, mmm, shall we call them Die-hards that feel comfortable voicing their otherwise NON-Jeep opinions openly...

    Sorry to be so late to the party, I too didn't know all the drama surrounding Pirate but thanks for posting the info elsewhere - BUT, using your link, there is not picture on that page - could it be due to my recent registration to that forum, you know, restricted till I do 50 push-ups and spin...

    JC, did we meet at SEMA two years ago, in the booth with your Scrambler? It was the Electrified GT booth (now owned by Tremec!!!!) Can you send us pictures, or for the ill-informed (me), point me to your build thread on here? I'm installing against the stock firewall and can make any...

    Giving it a Jolt

    That's great - pictures PLEASE! What I meant by 'leverage' was the design of the adapter, it's not just a spacer, it has a function of increasing the force at the pump. I didn't understand that before, that's all. Question: why spacers for different plungers? Am I missing something, doesn't...

    Giving it a Jolt

    This one: I think it adds a bit leverage to the system. Might be unnecessary (and dangerous) and I should do as you suggest and go with a single rod.

    Hi JC - this is GREAT - thanks!! Do you see how he mounted his to the firewall, using this bracket: I think that's the same bracket as every P/S adapter for all Jeeps in this series: I'm trying to attach the image here but this forum is being buggy at the moment...

    I love this version of a Jeep EVC project! Can you give us an details about how you fit that iBooster into your system - mounting specifically and how to change the plunger to match the peddle. Also, wiring would be GREAT. I'm working on a CJ-7 version (here...
