I figure some here will have more info on this, but Wilwood is advertising it has a big brake available for 914-4s. Just in case anyone would be interested. I haven’t even looked it up yet, but seen the ad in Excellence.

It is true that factory manual refers to it as a pressure regulator (German nomenclature) by name.
We can argue about the semantics and translation of pressure regulator vs proportioning valve. However, the factory manual is clear both in written description that it functioning as a proportioning valve (English nomenclature) as well as the published chart which in previously posted which clearly shows a proportioning behavior with a changeover or “knee” point. That knee point differs between the 914/6 and the 914/4. The slope of the proportioned line pressure is determined by the difference in annular surface area on the piston that separates chambers (6) and chamber (7). I’ll respectfully disagree with what PMB has chosen to publish and will defer to the factory manual which was reviewed by the engineers that designed the component. Please take the time to read the factory manual rather than referring to second hand internet information (including my own). |
