    Smaller Booster + ABS Delete?

    I put this


    in this


    But now I don't really have any brakes.....

    I need the smallest booster I can easily fit to my 88 325is.
    It's getting in the way of my huge turbo. Is there anything smaller then the iX booster?
    Please don't mention relocated the booster, because i'm not doing that.

    I also need to ditch my abs. I have a pair of 4 piston rx-7 calipers fitted... Any ideas?

    E21 booster. That is smaller than the ix booster. You can go no abs, just not sure what exactly needs to be done to do this.

        So...you are swapping in a turbod nissan truck motor into a BMW eh... At least go for the SR or RB when you do things like that. Yea, e21 booster is what all the guys that run M/S50s use also...

            E21's are even too large for Euro S50 swaps, so Geo Metro or E28/23 hydraulic boosters are used - http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=78855.

            I am thinking of going with the hydraulic or completely manual with a Tilton setup.

              wilwood makes generic boosters, some are very small.

                Do you have a link to the Wilwood boosters? I was just on their site and couldn't find any.

                    Seriously. I own a 350 rwhp KA-t. Why go to the trouble of buying a wimpy stock sr for more money?

                    If I want one later it'll bolt right in after the KA-t swap. I also have an RB ready for this car but it's a lot of fab work and not worth the time IMO.


                    WHO has used thie geo metro booster?

                    This looks exactly like what I need!!!

                      Azevedo Motorsports (http://www.azevedomotorsports.com/home/) uses them exclusively for their Euro S50 swaps. They are pretty busy and tend not to reply to emails, so calling may be your best bet.

                      The only down side is that you are stuck using domestic (possibly a Geo) master cylinder.

                      I just put in an order with VAC Motorsports to get a two pedal Tilton kit. Going full manual - no booster / no ABS.

                        You may also want to look into VW MkI and MkII boosters w/ Audi MC's. I think the boosters are only like 7 to 9 inches in diameter.

                          So a geo metro booster fits then?

                          I guess i'll have to call azvedo for the p/n or something...
