A different approach to the v8 swap brake booster...

Summit racing prop valve, and yes, I have a fluid reservoir. Sorry, no good pictures at the moment.

Sorry, super cars on the brain I guess. That should read a 914 master cylinder. $80 on eBay.

you have any pics of your set up ? are you running a prop valve if so which one? Running a Reservoir?


I am doing a AUTO v8 set up and was wanting to use the Massive Booster Delete along with a Wilwood MC and run it to a prop valve then to each brake,

That small dual circuit unit should work great in our cars. Bonus points cause you could mount it anywhere, like under the back seat for better weight balance.

Somebody should do this.

This.

....but would have to be plumbed in before the ABS block if one wasn't building a BCUZ RCECRR.

A Porsche 918 master cylinder (19mm), with the Massive booster delete setup feels great.

That's gotta be expensive !

solid point, just gotta watch out for rust then :D

[slammin.e28]

Ya, but most of the brake boosters in BMWs are Lucas....

No electrics, so it'll work.

[jalopi]

Undoubtedly cool, but it seems to be British made, so I'm not entirely sure I trust it

just gonna drop my 2 cents in this most likely dead thread. what about using a dual master slave setup with hardline running all the way from the masters to the slaves that are driving the booster?

[Jonsku]

How is the pedal feel compared to stock E30 pedal feel?

It's more or less similar. The linkage is basically the same as in V8 E32 / E34, so it has the "factory feel" in it. :)

Yeah yeah yeah but naa. Be sweet as cuz.

Many of the OEM's used remote hydraulic braking systems 30-40 years ago. They also had lap belts, drum brakes, rigid bumpers, etc. That doesn't make it OK by modern standards.

Go look at a cut-away view of a tandem master cylinder, and note the built-in mechanical failsafe if you lose a hydraulic circuit (regardless of whether it's the line, the caliper, or seal within the master cylinder itself that fails).
