Vacuum is die teenoorgestelde van kompressie. In 'n kompressor sit jy meer lug in as wat die tenk se grote is so dan druk jy die lug inmekaar.

Met 'n vacuum doen jy die omgekeerde. Jy suig die lug uit die tank, so die lug wat oorbly word dan "gestretch" om die volume te vul so daar is dan potensiële energie in die vacuum reservoir om lug te suig.

As jy 'n inspuiting se punt toedruk en jy trek die inspuiting se armpie terug "stretch" jy die bietjie lug wat reeds daarin is so dan word jou inspuiting 'n vacuum reservoir.

Daai groot swart tank op jou brake booster is 'n vacuum resevoir, jy het daar wel 'n reservoir nodig want as jy rem trap vloei daar wel lug soos wat jy die rem intrap. Die doel van die vacuum is dat tou rem effektiewelik ingesuig word deur die engine vacuum en so trap die pedaal makliker. So as jou engine full throttle is en nie vacuum kan create nie en jy hou aan rem trap sodat die reservoir leeg loop gaan jou remme al hoe swaarder trap net soos wanneer die engine afgeskakel is. Toets dit bietjie. Sluit jou engine af en trap dadelik die rem. As jy hom die 2de keer trap sal jy voel hy raak swaarder om te trap soos wat die vacuum resevoir leeg (of eintlik is dit vol) word.


Gaan loer bietjie hierso:

http://auto.howstuffworks.com/power-brake2.htm

Kliek op die pyltjie in die prentjie dan wys 'n animasie jou hoe die vacuum die rem insuig as jy begin remtrap.

Jis julle oenens is vinnig, voor ek my reply post het julle reeds twee gepost.

Naas download daai PDF wat ek by 3RZ gekry het en vroer gelaai het. Kyk na Fig2b op bladsy 3-10 (bladsy 10 van die document) dis hoe jy die ekstra one way valve moet koppel.

Sterkte. Ek en Cassie gaan die naweek syne ook koppel en met 'n vacuum gauge in die stelsel bietjie ry en toets.

Ek wonner nou net of ons die vacuum gauge op die difflock se pyp of tussen Cassie se ore moet koppel

Cassie, as ek vir Bennie reg verstaan, en ek luister na wat jy se, dan is daar omgekeerde kompressie(vacuum) tussen die ore en omgekeerde vacuum (kompressie) waar nou weer? Want as ek vir Newton reg verstaan is daar vir elke aksie 'n gelyke en teenoorgestelde reaksie? Dis alles net te veel vir my brein, ek is net 'n dom programmer wat nog nie koffie gehad het vanmore nie... Miskien het ek ook 'n vacuum daar tussen my ore :roll: :twisted: :shock: :twisted:

O ja Naas suig daai vacuum valve op jou tiog vas en kyk of hy bly vassit en of hy na 'n rukkie loskom. Dan weet jy of hy nog goed werk en of hy lek. Onthou die vacuum wat jy in die sisteem gaan hê sal nooit eers naby -1bar kom nie. By die kus kan 'n engine wat se ringe nog baie goed is so ongeveer -1bar maak maar hier by ons is dit aansienlik minder.

Volgens die MAP sensor in Bulldog se Dicktator unit idle sy teen -0.6 bar en die maksimum wat sy kon behaal as jy haar so teen 2000 RPM of meer geloop het en jou voet van die petrol afgehaal het is -0.8 todat die spoed weer terugkom na idle toe, so die vacuum is darem nie te groot nie en jou tong kan dit maklik simuleer.


Thys lyk my jy moet maar daai vacuum tussen jou ore van jou vol koffie maak.

Bennie, dit hang af hoe hard jy daai inspuiting toe druk. Want as jy te hard druk kom die naald aan die ander kant uit :shock:
Want as ek vir Newton reg verstaan is daar vir elke aksie 'n gelyke en teenoorgestelde reaksie?
Jy is 100% reg. Vir elke post wat ek oor die BB doen word dit ge-edit deur Bennie na Cheetah toe :

Ek het daai valve gesuig voor ek hom gekoop het, maar toe gee hulle hom sommer vir my verniet. Hys 100%. Ek sien ons Isuzu het n groot swart tenk, reken dis sy vacuum reservoir, gaan bietjie uitvind.

Julle sien as ons n Vacuum reservoir het, wat vacuum hou op die difflock systeem sal jy die locker gelock kan hou as die Hilux dalk stall op n obstacle, wat nogal baie met my gebeur, en ook die vacuum konstant hou maak nie saak wat die engine doen nie.

Dan as ons by Newton kan kom, daar is n reaksie vir elke aksie. As daar vacuum in die reservoir is, dan is daar pressure van buite wat wil in, totdat altwee, reservoir en atmosfeer dieselfde druk het.

Kyk bietjie die Hilux te koop in die Autotrader vir R50,000. Ek dink sy pens sal vang op n obstacle. :lol: :lol:

Naas as jou sisteem nie lek nie sal jy nie 'n resevoir nodig hê nie.

Nee wat ek dink daai lux sal okay wees hy moet miskien net 'n sel langer shackles by my koop ) so 1 meter lank) om sy gat so 400-500 mm te lig :shock: :shock:

Ek dink ok so Bennie, miskien si 1.5m shacles

So wat dink jy is dan die probleem, miskien die diaphrame? Maar ek het aan hom ook gesuig en dit voel asof hy vacuum hou. Ek is amper lus en spend maar R1500 op n hele nuwe gearmax diff cover en kry klaar, ek het klaar n nuwe solenoid en vacuum pypie ingesit. Sal maar die valve try en dan kyk.

Bennie. Ek dink jy is reg. As die sisteem nie 'n lek het nie gaan jy prbably nooit die reservoir nodig kry nie. Maaaar.... as die reservoir nou daar is nê, en daar is nie 'n lek in die sisteem nie... great... dan werk alles maar reservoir dien dan geen doel nie. As die reservoir daar is nê, en daar is 'n lek in die sisteem.... great.... dan werk alles want die reservoir hou die negatiewe druk nodig.

So m.a.w. 'n Fail-Safe Device :lol: :lol:

Ja ek raak nou moeg gesukkel. Koop ek nuwe cover, 5 jaar van nou af maak hy dieselfde. As die rerservoir kan help, great, dan hoef ons nie te worry nie.

Ek voel ook so half so. As ek nou R1000 kan betaal en weet my locker probleme is iets van die verlede en ek kan met vertroue 'n obsticle aanpak met die diffloc aan, sal ek dit met 'n plesier betaal :)

Ek strip weer my cover af vandag en dan gaan ek hom skoonmaak, die diaphrame check en die kontak vir die liggie asook die locking mehanism self, om seker te maak hy engage in elke slot wat hy het. Ek het dalk n idee hys dalk bietjie gewear op sy tande dan wil hy nie altyd lekker ingaan nie, en die diaphrame kan hom nie vorseer nie.

Die ding gee my grys hare. Ek moet hom dalk net weer gearmax toe vat.

Ek het op my ou carb n klein non return valve gekry, hys oranje en swart, het hom ingesit met nuwe pypies van die manifold deur die valve na die solenoid, en dan na die plastic pypie wat agtertoe gaan. Hy lyk my is nog dieselfde.

Onthou 'n reservoir gaan ook net die vacuum so lank kan hou. Try eers daai valve, dis dalk al wat jy nodig het. Ek is seker as jy bietjie rondsoek by plekke van vacuum goed verkoop kom jy dalk reg met net 'n diaphragm. Ek dink die kompleet dop is 'n geldmaak storie want daar word in Willem se manual die volledige vervanging prosedure bespreek so die ding kan gediens word as hy lek.

Al wat jy moet doen is om sy tong af te sny :wink:

Bennie. Mens kan daai diapram uithaal (6 boudtjie en 'n moertjie) en dan dit na enige'rubber' handelaar vat en kan jy vir jou diesefde tipe rubber koop die ou een se patroon aftrek op die stukkie rubber, uitknip, die gaatjies boor vir die boutjies en terug sit. baie maklik :)

OK boys ek dink ek het die oorsaak van my probleem gevind.

Ek het die diff cover afgehaal en gecheck, my diaphrame is 100% en die vurk wat die locker lock beweeg 100% en so ver as wat hy kan. Toe check ek die sliding ring wat links en regs slide om die locker te engage en disengage. Hy is smooth en gaan in al die tande in 100%, toe wonder ek wat kan vout wees. Toe doen ek die volgende:

Ek connect die vacuum pypie op die cover terwyl hy af is, en start die bakkie. Sit toe die locker switch aan en hy suig hom toe mooi vas tot op maksimum. Toe druk ek met my duim die vurk sodat hy resistance het, en ek voel hy beweeg nie maklik nie. Toe vra ek ons werker, Eric, om terwyl ek met my duim druk die bakkie net vinnig 1 keer te ref. Daar is die probleem toe glo ek, sodra hy die petrol trap beweeg daai vurk sommer vanself omtrent halfpad terug en dan suig hy weer as jy die petrol los. Die probleem ek glo is deffinitief te min vacuum a.g.v. die trap van die petrol pedaal. Dit maak sin want my locker werk as ek idle by obstacles, maar as hy gly en trap daai petrol dan spring hy uit.

Ek het n none-return valve in maar weet nie of al my plekkies waar pypies geconnect is 100% seel nie. Ek glo n reservoir, maar n lekke vris een, sal die job doen.

Ek het ook gekyk, daai diaphrame materiaal lyk nie soos enige rubber nie, hy lyk redelik sterk maar glo ook mens sal 1 kan maak as jy die regte materiaal kry.

Raai hoeveel keer het ek 100% gebruik?? :lol:
Nou moet ek n reservoir opspoor voor die naweek, en more is al Vrydag.

Ek het al so by myself gedink... myself.... VW's se water reservoir (ronde plastic container) lyk asof hy kan dubbelup as 'n reservoir vir ons doeleindes. Ek meen ons gaan nie so baie negatiewe druk create nie en hy behoort sit te kan weerstaan. :) En ek dink mens kan een van daai vir redelik goedkoop optel :)

Ek het gebel mos, by daai Golf Worx in Germistone het hulle maar dis R650 stuk, dis bietjie rof. Ek soek nog op n ander plek. Het nou weer die diff toe geplak.

Die ander probleem wat ek het is dat as die diff lock ge-engage het, as ek ry dan flikker my liggie bietjie, het nou die kontak skoon gemaak en gestel soos daai specs gese het, voor die tyd getoets maar nogsteeds dieselfde ding.

Dit pla my bietjie, al doe goedtjies. Maar, solank die locker net werk is ek happy!!

Myne het eers so begin maak nadat ek hom oop gehad het. Ek dink daai draaitjie aan die binnekant van die cover earth net die LED en die Earth word voorsien deur die 'engaging ring' van die loc. En for some reason maak hy nie mooi kontak nie :(

Wel dit is my teorie.

Manne het ek nou gespook met daai diff om die liggie te kry dat hy bly brand en nie flikker nie. Hier is toe mos wat gebeur.

Ek strip toe weer die diff cover af nadat ek hom gister weer mooi vas gesilicone het en sy 9 boude vasgedraai het, gelukkig het ek nog nie olie ingehaad nie. Nadat ek hom gister terug gesit het, het my groen liggie sommer heeltemal afgegaan sodra die wiele begin draai, al is die locker nog ge-engage. Hyt erger geraak, toe dink ek ek kan hom nie so los nie ek moet die fout kry. Strip toe weer daai swart cover ook af. Toets toe met die meter, die swart cover maak moii kontak maar die cover maak nie kontak op die diff nie, so hy grond nie, maar snaaks genoeg net as die diff draai. Maar toe dink ek mos daai manne by gearmax het die diff gespry, so hy maak nie mooi kontak dat hy deurgaan chassis toe nie.

Oplossing:

Ek sit toe n draad, wat ek vasdraai met n ogie op een van die alli diff cover se 9 boude, tot direk op die chassis, so dit grond die diff cover direk. Nou bly daai groen liggie mooi aan as die locker ge-engage is. Moet nou net kyk of die locker werk. Het meeste van my pypies sommer geplak met super glue waar daar n las is, en seker gemaak daai one-way valve werk. Eks positief maar sal maar sien. Anders moet daai reservoir kom.


Tot later!! :lol: :lol:

Cassie ek dink wat myne se probleem was, was hyt vacuum verloor by die pypies, nadat ek hulle almal geplak het, die by die solenoid ook, is hy nou reg. Het hom net vinnig gaan toets gister, maar hyt nie 1 keer uitgespring nie en ook nie geflikker nie. Ek dink hys reg.

Ek het sommer met gewone superglue.

Ek het mos daai ander 2nd hand carb gekoop, hy loop mooi, die bakkie vrek nie regtig meer op obstacles nie, maar die float loop nogsteeds leeg oornag, ek pomp hom maar as ek hom wil start.

Daii locker is nou 100%, het hom weer getoets en hys 100!! Eks verlig. :D :D

Ek is bietjie bang om myne te plak want as mens die ding moet service, wat dan? :shock:

Maar met daai non-return valve lyk hy ook nou 100% te wees. Kom ek stel dit so. Ek sluit die bakkie af en klim uit en kyk hoe 'n paar ouens die obsticles ry. As ek dan weer terug klim in die bakkie, dan is die diffloc nog gelock :)

Ek het darem geen probleme met my bakkie se karb nie. Het agter Bennie aangery vandag terwyl hy met Bulldog gery het en hy kon my nie weg ry nie :twisted: :twisted:

Hey Eric. I must say Louis's guys did a beautlful job with that locker and compressor :) (i'll post some photos just now)

There is only one problem with the photo's I've got.... :shock: But you'll have to wait and see. :shock: :)

Okay. So we had an outing to Mahem to test my locker and Eric's locker and gas reading (die bakkies :))

Here is the timeline in pics :)

Cas,

Great photos! That Jeep looks lekker too.

Regarding the "Traitor", I was as shocked as you were when I first saw them :mrgreen: The motor in the windscreen washer bottle is also a "Traitor" from the same stable, but I paid R75.00 for it from a Scrapyard, instead of R750.00 that the Dealers wanted! Exactly the same thing as the original, just a different badge on it.

Where did you smack your bakkie, going through the narrow walls on that climb?

Yip. Bennie was taking his time coming up the one side of the panelbeater and didn't want to wait for him :oops: So I took another route down wich is a little narrower but all would have been fine. What I didn't see is that there is a hugh step just as you start going down. My bakkie bottomed and slid a bit to the right
:evil: :evil: But nou ja. That stuff is going to happen eventually becauswe we play hard :twisted: :twisted:

At least it is now balanced out as the other side also has a dent :( (previous owner).

Franco, I disagree .... reason, brakes are far more important than lockers and if there is a vacuum leak in the locker system it will drain the vacuum for the brakes. This can be especially hairy if you stall the motor on an incline, since you have to be able to momentarily lock the wheels to engage reverse gear for the stall start manoeuvre. Rather install a separate non return valve on the locker line before the solenoid servo, and if needs be you can install a small separate reservoir for the locker. ;-)

Would anyone mind providing the specs/details/brand of the required non return valve for this discussion? Will be searching in the Cape Town area. Thanks!

Are you having a similar problem Tim? Installing a valve is far from ideal, so don't do it if you don't have to. If there is a problem I would rather trace it and have it seen to. If it's the diaphragm at the diff, they are not expensive to replace and lines can easily be repaired / replaced as well. The solenoid valve might be a bit more pricey, but if that's the problem it would have to be replaced in any event. :winkx:

Andy no problem as of yet - I have rebuilt the diff with the locker in (vehicle's running smooooth) but still need to connect it up. I have all the required parts for the connection except for the non return valve which I view as an added guarantee to make the locker work 100%. Will connect it all up and test before purchasing the valve if needed - just like to get my ducks in a row:), so my question remains.

I see you say installing the valve is far from ideal - are you referring to a case where the original vacuum/booster system is not working 100% or is there another reason why a non return valve is not a great idea? If placed correctly it should not affect the original system and the diff solenoid will release diff vacuum when switched off..

Just thinking about it, it's not the same as a pressure line. The valve is not going to achieve anything unless you have an extra vacuum reservoir for the locker. The locker line is small diameter and won't hold much vacuum. As long as the solenoid valve is good and there are no leaks you should be OK.

Hard to think in reverse pressure haha;) I was trying to guard against the possible hiccup of reduced diff lock vacuum at high revs occurring such as other members on this forum have experienced. Although Andy, out of interest I see that Gearmax does implement a diff vacuum tube non return in one of their two setup diagrams (pdf somewhere on here) and call off the diff vacuum tube as the 'reservoir' which as you rightly say has minimal volume.

After checking my engine bay I see that my brake booster vacuum hose has no inline non return valve as I have seen on other vehicles nor is one mentioned in the manual, which got me thinking - does the motor, and possibly other types of motors, produce a maximum vacuum at certain revs which tapers off as the revs change? It would be understandable that this wouldn't affect normal operation as any braking takes place at idle (where vacuum appears strongest) as your foot has been removed from the juice and hence the booster may not have been 'calibrated' to accommodate changes in vacuum due to varying revs as the carburetor/advance may have, and our locker requires a bit more - or am I thinking too much..

It's possible that you're over thinking it. Also remember that, even at low revs, with the throttle closed the vacuum in the manifold increases because of the restriction of intake air past the throttle butterfly. I've never had a vacuum problem where the locker kicks out - I don't think it needs much to engage the fork.

I'll have a look on mine to see if there's a valve on the line ...... seem to recall that there might be, but not sure at this point. Will let you know once I've looked.

Indeed there is. What you're seeing there though is the "T" piece for the locker vacuum solenoid. However there is a non-return valve further back along the main vacuum from the manifold. That means that if the motor stalls or vacuum in the manifold is lost, then the brake booster doesn't loose it's vacuum immediately - if you have lockers activated, it should hold them in the locked position as well for a while (unless of course there is a leak on that line).

I have no idea what the part number is but as long as the nipple diameters are correct, then any non-return valve will do the trick.

Ah I see. Mine doesn't appear to have that valve anywhere along the line which routes to underneath the carb. Did yours come with the valve or did you pop it in during the conversion?
