#17443, "GSX Master cylinder"


          

Anyone know if we can swap the gsx master into our brake booster? i'm getting wilwood 6 pot brakes and they recommend using the 1 inch master, but i think the brake booster is different from the Turbo and NT.

Thanks
james

Rest In Peace Heidi Doggy

Thats what I remember too, it bolts on and is 1" instead of 15/16" or something.

thanks,
I know the diameter is 1/16 inch bigger, but in the FSM there are 2 different boosters, one fot the 4g's and one for us, i don't know if they have different part numbers however. maybe they are the same and just represented pictorially in the fsm as different.
Thanks
James

in the 99 FSM it shows that all the cars with ABS have the same booster and master cylinder.

I don't have abs, maybe the booster was an abs non abs thing rather than a gsx not gsx thing

if you swap out the master cylinder, they say to swap the brake booster too that way you get the benefit of it. that's what they recommend you do that. some brake systems do offer you the whole thing.

James, after having this discussion with you a while back about the AWD master brake cylinder, I asked Mike@RRE last time I went there. He says that the 2G AWD master brake cylinder will bolt up to our brake booster.

I'd go with the VR-4 (3KGT) master with the 6pots.. just me.. it's 1-1/16" piston.. and again.. should be a bolt up affair..

make for nice hard brakes..

no abs? are you fat? try some crunches

this thread is old by the way.

EDIT: maybe its not old. i've just seen the same diagram before..

Having Problems? Heres my Three step solution to anything 2gnt related.
Step 1: Put down everything in your hands.
Step 2: Grab a lucky strike, Smoke it.
Step 3: Walk to the fridge, double fist some keystone ice, sit down in the shade, drink one beer, finish cigarette, drink other beer, roll a joint, smoke it, walk back to your problem, and in about 5 minutes the solution will come to you.
If not. Go here: here

If still nothing, your trying to hard. Start over at step 1.
