Default Second pressure bomb.

Ok so I'm having this idea. What happens if I add a second pressure bomb to the system in a c4 inline with the current? The idea would be to obtain same pressure but for longer duration. Thinking that for track days it would be helpful to keep pressure more consistent longer since the system is taxed for the brakes and then also constantly for the pdas...

Thoughts? Has anyone tried this?

I know this is entirely unnecessary, but just humor me....


Secondly. I was thinking to charge the bomb with more nitrogen. Higher pressure. 30 bar? 35 bar?
Has anyone done that?

I can see the reasoning behind adding a second but not sure I'd want to find out burst pressure
by accident.

I don't think it would increase the over all pressure. The pressure switch would still shut off at the same amount of over all pressure. My sense is there would just be the same pressure available for a longer time prior to the pressurizer needing to run again. So example, if it comes on after three hard presses of the brake pedal, it would come on after six...thereby giving better feel more consistently on track conditions or when the PDAs is also using the pressure in the system, and clutch etc...

Seems like it should work.

I agree that it wont increase system pressure-only what's behind the diaphragm which won't
give you what you're looking for. But doubling capacity certainly will.

Ah yeah that. I hear you.

I wonder if any of the guys that seriously track their c4 have done this or gone to a different system
