Post by 86nick »

anybody ever run just a brake master cylinder without the booster? pros? other than a big chunk of metal missing from the engine bay. cons? i have heard this increases pedal feel?

its going to make the pedal a lot harder and its going to take more effort to stop. I wouldnt recommend it on a daily but might not be to bad on a track car.

switch to a manual master they are valved and stroked different and should have a better pedal feal. no power assist sucks for the record. just shut your car of going 50 and try to stop.

Use the 93 hicas 240sx no abs master cylinder, bolts on to our cars and u just rework lines. it also eliminates the proportioning valve as it is internally regulated.
