New booster relocation kit for J1Z or BMW V8 swaps. The Tilton 77 master cylinder is located inside the pedal box. The adapter plate on the firewall has channels for the hydraulic fluid. They are threaded 10mmx1. The MC can actuate hydraulically a remote brake booster, located anywhere in the car. Or it can actuate the brakes directly (no assist). The kit is missing one piece, which shall be ready next week. The bracket will allow a stock pedal ratio of 4:1 or 6:1
This kit is intended for handy DIYers.

I'm not quite following the logic of this build. You said a rebuild of a S14 is too much, but it can't be as much as a break down to the shell, eventual repaint, motor swap, new parts, etc. can it?1986 911 Supercharged Frakenstrat/Stripped
1987 325is Delphin/Black (Olga)
1988 M3 Zinno/Natur (Elsa)

BTW I have received my order for 20 rod ends this morning and should have the remaining brackets by Wednesday.Brake harder. Go faster. No shit.

Im not sure where you are lost. My budget is "A". If building the engine alone takes up most of "A" then I cant do everything I want to do. You can blow $10k building an S14 without blinking an eye.
Its pretty easy in my opinion. Rebuild and upgraded an s14 for $10k + then drop it in a rusty chasis. Or do a swap and rebuild the WHOLE car for a bit over $10k? The only thing im not doing is the blasting and I dont plan on painting it any time soon. Cost is actually not that bad when your doing all the labor.
As far a logic in a build?? LOL, the logical thing to do would buy a NEW car and not rebuild a 24 year old 3 series....Last edited by LSM3; 06-22-2012, 09:59 PM.

Looks like it's going to be a badass build!Different strokes for different folks.
