just gear down...

[Damkid]

Nah, i like power brakes

[Christ]

Booster delete. MUCH less work.

[Damkid]

Ok so i've decided to drill new mounting holes for the brake booster, i'm going to move it 1-2" towards the engine, i will also modify the brake pedal so the push rod stays paralell to the master to not cause any problems

So tonight i took my booster off but didn't have time to start drilling new holes



There's not a lot of room to move it over, but it's something




I'm debating on removing the bracket on the inside as well to modify it so i can move the mounting holes further over, but it's going to be a pain in the butt to do

[sasquatch]

to pay for them, you bend over....

[fastivaB6TG25MR]

they make oval bends

[PhoenixSHO]

The oval stuff seems like a nice idea but , when you will arrive at the bends - that must be a PITA.

[Damkid]

That thought has crossed my mind as well but I've actually come up with a different idea hence why I said.........

that's the start of my idea but I'm sure I'll change the idea a bit before I'm done lol

:lol: my second idea I think will be a trouble free issue, Im just going to double check a few things before I give details

[philip1]

Could I suggest trying a 90* mount for the master. An adapter bracket could be made easily with a pivot like you used for your clutch.

[Damkid]

I honestly don't wanna redo all the piping again

I'm sure there's room for some give, I know how M/C's work, I'm not talking about turning it on a 45 degree angle or anything like that, and id angle the master and booster as one part together and of course I will double check my work to make sure my brakes are reliable and won't give me troubles

[FestYboy]

don't even think about doing that, you'll torque the booster rod and you'll be putting accute stresses on the master piston assembly. taking the master off center of the booster is a BIG no no.

instead, take the filter off, pull the turbo forward and remote mount the filter via PVC or something cheap. that then allows more room for better shielding of the MC.

[Damkid]

Never thought of oval pipe to be honest, but I honestly don't wanna redo all the piping again lol

I'm thinking to unbolt the brake booster and ad, say washers to the one side to angle the M/C away from the turbo, this will ad clearance for a multi-layered heat shield, that's the start of my idea but I'm sure I'll change the idea a bit before I'm done lol

[fastivaB6TG25MR]

what about using a 4" oval pipe for low clearance?

[Damkid]

That was my original idea for the piping, but as you could see from the pics I posted earlier, the max I can fit in front of the motor is a 2" pipe, running it the way I did let's the engine breathe better by not putting all 6 cyl worth of exhaust into a 2" pipe, once the exhaust leaves the turbo it's 2-1/2" from there to the muffler

I've already been brainstorming ideas to insulate the M/C and I think I can make it work

[fastivaB6TG25MR]

you could always try to put the throttle body by the m/c and rework your exhaust to fit the turbo closer to the motor.

i was looking at your exhaust routing and was wondering why you didnt just keep it configured closer to the way it was?

leaving the rear exhaust to go under the motor towards the front and "Y" into the front exhaust so you only have one pipe coming in from the front and one pipe leaving towards the rear.
