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.

I’ll post one last bit of information to further support that there are various nomenclatures used to describe regulators vs proportioning valves.
The graphic is from the Bosch Automotive Handbook. Braking force limiter (a) - this is what we would call a regulator (English nomenclature) - it allows output pressure up to a set limit and then flatlines, holding (limiting) that fixed output pressure despite increasing input pressure. Braking force reducer (b) - this is what we would call a proportioning valve (English nomenclature) - it allows output pressure to build up to a particular point (knee point) and then the output pressure growth is reduced, but continues to grow, though at a lesser proportion than the input pressure. This is what the 914 rear valve is doing. Red lines added by me to call attention to the shape of the line pressure in otherwise very busy charts. |
