brake master cylinder/booster size

[peter.nilsson83]

The Evo9 one fits. Front pipe needs some mild persuasion, but some bending and cursing will fix that.
The sensor fits straight on. No modding needed there.
Got a buggered end on the front pipe, so it's leaking like a sieve. But I will get the proper equipment to get that sorted, and it should be up and running by the weekend.

Cool, thats good to hear.

Bleeding the brakes is critical, best done with a pressure bleeder such a Gunson EZbleed from Halfords, uses the pressure from a spare wheel, engine is supposed to be running (as ABS is fitted), and bleed the valves on the ABS unit, in the right order, as well as the wheels and delay valve, usually alternating wheel/delay valve (if fitted) for each wheel. Setup depends on model .

you get it sorted?

any pics of the fitted item?

any improvements in braking?

No, never got around to it this weekend. So many things to do, so little time...
Will try to go over to my dads tomorrow and finish up. I'll try to remember to get some pics too!

heres the evo 7-9 unit,




and real life pic of the evo 7-9 unit,




(i just bought this one)

i see the clutch fuild is held in the same container,
do they share the same fluid or do they have seperated area's and filling point??

Fluid is shared between clutch and brake.
I just led a hose out and plugged it with a M8 screw and a hose clamp.

Bought some copper tubing today to replace the damn iron pipe that goes to the front of the master cylinder... bloody pain to bend iron right!

Oh, and you might need to redo the end of the pipes going to the master cyl. too. On the vr4 there's some sort of upwards cone in the bottom of the holes on the master cyl.
On the evo one there aren't any cones. It was explained to me that you can make two kinds of ends on a brake pipe. One cone-style and another sort of funnel-style.
Don't know if I'm making myself understood. But when you take a look at it you'll hopefully understand.
Might be that that was causing the leak I was having, and it never got around to leaking at the back pipe since all preassure was lost at the front pipe...
Well, I'll try replacing the pipe first...

[peter.nilsson83]

Problem with the leak wasn't caused by the ends of the pipe... The holes on the evo cyl. aren't threaded all the way down, and cause of that I wasn't able to get it tight enough... Gonna buy some new piping on Monday, and see if I can find some nuts that aren't threaded all the way down. Otherwise I'll have to modify the kind i have.

Oh, and I noticed that the fluid cup is rubbing against the sway bar, so I'll give that a beating too.

Getting tired of these brake-problems now...

wow what a bitch!!

will the evo 7, master cylinder internals fit inside the original vr4 one?

or will the vr4 fuild cup fit on the evo cylinder?

might make it slightly easier?

Hehe, yup... Things has started to look a little bit tougher than it first appeared... But all will be sorted, no worries.
Getting the pipes sorted should be no match, once I get the proper ends, and taking a hammer to the strut bar is piece of cake... It's not the bar running across the engine, but the piece that sits on top of the... strut?
Hehe, don't know the english word... The red piece at the end.
Just a small edge needing to be hammered in 1-2mm.

Fluid cup could fit I guess. Haven't looked at it that hard... I can take some measurements for you if you'd like. Internals wouldn't fit would they? Being different size and all?

[Gly]

sorted yet?

[peter.nilsson83]

OK, long time no see now...
Finally got the car running today...
Turns out it's not that difficult to bleed the damn thing once you put the calipers in their right place.. (The whole left-left right-right thing..)
Quite a bit of air gets caught in the calipers when the bleed valves are pointing down to the ground.
Feel so god damn stupid right now, but atleast it's running!
Definitely more pressure needs to be applied to the pedal now, but I like it!

ended up selling the e7 cylinder i got for a profit,
