Gomez's ULTIMATE build thread Lots of pics

[bravekozak]

Don't forget to install the long stainless brake lines after you pull the engine. That's the only time you can do it with the transmission cradle out of the way. You can install the other ones later.

One of the EVO's (7 maybe?) master cylinders bolts onto that booster. It requires a small shim I think. But the bores available are MASSIVE (1 3/16" or something like that)

I was looking into doing this for my GTXR2 to re-balance the braking system after upgrading the calipers

[Gomez]

I already had it on the car with no mods. Optionally you'll have to add a piece to the clevis under the dash to keep the pedal in stock location, otherwise it will be pushed in a little (might be a good thing for those with big feet). But yes, Bolt-on.

IIRC 01-05 m/c non abs and 99+ booster. There are so many variables. AFTER Charlie recommended a few Miata options to me this was what I pieced together from his pm of several different Model years (per his recommendations). I did soo much research and this is the best possible combo I found.

[Hot_Wheels]

The miata stuff will just bolt up?

On the kitchen table makes it look soooo much better ....

Nice looking unit, and should totally clean up brake area underhood. Looking forward to progress pics

[Gomez]

Miata booster and M/C Nice and cheap from eBay. The WillWood proportioning valve and bracket fit perfectly. Can't wait to play with these.



Money is in pocket for the engine build finally. Just waiting for time to finish up some mock-up stuff under hood before I pull it.

Whatever is easiest.

Fender exit 3" Downpipe is simplicity

I plan to run a holset with a 4+ inch outlet...so....stack out the hood?

No down pipe is simplicity! I remember those days.

^^thats how it always happens lol

[eurotiva]

You will want more

[Gomez]

Yep. Going n/a cause of simplicity. This will be the 3rd engine choice but most probable. And with it being near completion probably the final choice too. Lol

[eurotiva]

Lol. Change of plans.

I wonder who you've been talking to. Only a couple of people know of those original plans.

I didn't know of any plans, just guessing lol.

I know it'll change directions again before it's finished, projects always do.
