Questions for E30 drifters

Orly?!

More info on this??? I'm not completely happy with my hydro ebrake setup

looks like there might be a couple left from the GB

i'm looking at the last two pages, seems like there's still a lot to be discussed.

Massive is providing the brackets alone? I'm confused as to cost, etc etc. Can you PM me more details as the first two pages and the last two pages aren't completely clear... and I'm not in the 28-page reading mood :p

I might not be able to jump on this due to my recent project on the e30, but we'll see how this goes.

This thread is awesome.

$250 for the fab work and sacrificed a set of spare trailing arms :) I'm cheap.

what calipers are you running?

yoshi is running 2 stock sets.

basically lee is providing the brackets
I was trying to find a cheaper alternative to the wilwood calipers
thought i found a solution
solution looks like it wont work so i guess we will stick with the wilwood calipers.

So it looks like this'll be at least $350+ before it's all said and done (in parts)

at retail for new parts yes.
but you can do it for less...

junkyard clutch master cylinder and pedal will cut costs there

i'm seing what I can do for the calipers but it looks like we are stuck paying 100 per side unless I can find a retailer willing to do a group buy, same with pads

then add some adapters and some hardline and some softline

[evil_twin]

Wait. I thought someone found a cheaper alternative to the wilwoods?

[shiboujin]

nah. for Lee's thing, you have to run his type of wilwoods. For my thing, you run stock calipers cuz I'm cheap and they are free!

[evil_twin]

Lol. Have you hooked it up the rest of the way? Everything works?

[bataangpinoy]

i cant wait to get my setup hooked up with massive's adapters. and i have had the idea in my head to look for an e30 clutch master and use that as the e brake master cyl and mount a small reservoir near it. should be simple and cheap if i do it right.

i'll work on it over winter break, and come up with a list or parts and cost.

but if not, i'll go with the ASD motorsports setup.

All lines have been fabbed, just need to tighten them down and run some fluid through the system. Hopefully I don't suck too bad at making brake lines.

I'm not sure the stock clutch master is good enough. Make sure to get a 2psi pressure valve to keep some pressure in the lines. Otherwise, it'll take a few pumps to lock up the rear.

that shouldnt be an issue unless the master is below the calipers...

Residual Pressure Valve 2lb, Blue, w/ Fittings.

Wilwood two pound residual pressure valves retain a minimum brake line pressure to help eliminate excessive pedal travel in both disc and drum brake systems. The two pound valve is used in disc brake applications where the master cylinder is mounted below the horizontal plane of the calipers and fluid drain back occurs from gravity and vibration. Residual Pressure Valves are made from billet aluminum and color coded for easy identification. Valves with fittings are supplied with two 1/8-27 NPT to 3/-24 inverted flare female fittings that will most domestic 3/16th hard brake line.

[shiboujin]

Theoretically yes. But the closer the lines get to the level of the caliper, the more likely it is to lose pressure. The relief valve is preferred. I know a similar setup to mine that required the valve as well. It's cheap insurance.
