no brakes :/

i have a 1984 325e and i am doing a swap. i purchased an ix booster and master comes to find out the ix is an abs car and mine is not what do i do. what master cylinder do i need for a non abs. or should i just scratch the ix and slot the firewall.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it really matters that the iX was ABS and your car isn't.

you just need a T fitting to split the front brakes

So just use a t fitting from any hardware store or does it need to be a brake line t or something or like a poportionaning valve

why won't your OE lines plug into this?? they should, may have to bend em a bit but plug em just like they were originally.

also, ditch the spacer on the IX booster, cut and thread the rod on the back. you'll thank me later ; |

my master has the line coming off of it the master for the ix only has two. what is the benefit of removing the spacer and shorting the rod

[etxxz]

don't follow.. ABS equiped cars split fronts at the ABS pump. Yours should already be split coming from a non ABS car. Sure your master only has ONE connection. I found this

here's an ABS master

and a non-ABS master from a '84.


as for the spacer, if removed, your brake reservoir will clear the 24v intake boot.

Yea the picture is what I confused the bottom pic is what came with my car and the top is the ix I'm trying to put on. I think I'm going to put the moded booster from zionsville. That way I can use my master and clear the boot thanks for your help guys.

why not more your old booster 1/2 drill new holes, good to go. ?

The Zionsville looks very similar to a 944 booster. Does anyone have an idea about that?

removing the spacer, cut and tapping the booster rod does that same exact thing at a 1/25th of the price.

you need to use a proper brake line T.... normal T fittings will not deal with the pressure... any auto parts store should have them.

im just gonna go with the zionsville brake booster bolt up and no mods and i can use my factory master

All it is is the modified E21 or 944 booster IIRC.
