Hydraulic Ebrake?

[Dominic49]

the answer is YES!


Input Line (10x1 Male to -3AN female fitting to [-3AN male fitting to 7/16-20 Banjo]) plugs in to the brake proportioning valve on the (US) drivers side of the car.


routing of the lines.... i am going to have to route it again in this section my foot rubs against the line when i push on the throttle.... i will run it up higher then the pedal.



view of the line going down the left side of the transmission tunnel



I retained the stock handbrake incase I have to park on a hill



shows the mounting in comparison to the stock handle



above view showing relation of hydro to stock cable, also shows how close the handle is to the shifter when the shifter is in neutral



routing of the rear line (10x1 Male to -3AN female fitting to [-3AN male fitting to 3/8-24 banjo])



rear hose gets plugged into the rear distribution block



be careful where you drill the tie downs..... (I got lucky right there >.<)



SUCCESS!!!!!



SUCCESS!!!!!




MODIFYING YOUR BRAKING SYSTEM IS DANGEROUS AND ILLEGAL DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO THIS ON ANY STREET VEHICLE!

i'm fearful of the quality of the locking mechanism....

aluminum fatigues over time and everytime it locks it has a good 40lbs or so of force being put onthat liettle .25inch square of aluminum...

[BeirBrennerE30]

~300 after everything

100 lines and fittings from summit
150 for ksport
15 nylon tiedowns and screws/grommets

[BeirBrennerE30]

their website isnt very informative... how does it lock? can you use it as a normal ebrake and a drift style ebrake?

[metal_til_deth]

Do you need a new master?

[AndrewBird]

So is the purpose purely for drifting?
