Help me out!

ok guys, question about master cylinders and stuff.


i want to run a hydro e brake, and am looking at how i would set it up.
i want to run a standalone style system, meaning not inline with the brakes.

1st question)>> im looking at willwood cylinders and some r single out let and some are tandem(meaning 2 i would presume), if i were to run the standalone system would i need a cylinder with tandem or could a single outlet cylinder be used?

i have a hydro e brake thread started in the tech section. do be surprised if people talk shit and call u an idiot for not doing all ur research on google first. they did this to me.lol if i new i could help you. Use the seach under the tech forum and type hydrolic ebrake and my thread should come up. Some of the guys on there really helped me tho.
 
lol kk i will, iv been on here for a some good time, and i know all about the flaming nd am prepared, if they cnt help then i have other sources.

but yea im searching, nd been searching....i know how brake systems work but am just a little confused on cylinders, like i said i know how they work just dnt know detailed info about them and y willwood sells cylinders that r tandem nd single....


i answered my own question and know that a single outlet cylinder will work for my set up.


but what about brake set ups, they have cylinders with the right bore size, but 2 only tandem out let, my car being a 89 i have no abs and my cylinder has 3 ports, confuses me on how a tandem cylinder would work on my car.

btw my brake set up is: 300xz all around w/ z32 1" non abs master cylindar, and my hydro set up(soon to be) is going to be 2 300zx front brakes with custom bracket, with maybe my own design ebrake handle, or PBM with willwood cylinder w/ reservoir.
 
then all u need is the single i believe and they have em with integrated reservoir or remote
 
yea iv been looking, and thnx!


iv figured out that i need a single outlet, i know i need a res, nd i am about to figure out what bore size will be comfortable(meaning have flexability in the pull so that i can lock at full pull but ease up on the pull and have "roll") like a hydro with the flexability of a cable style.


i will post "build" pics when finished.
 
sweet, its for an s13? if so id like to see the brackets for the extra calipers when its done :D im going the same route

good point never thought about it that way i figured a big bore locks hard lol all i need, but it would be nice to have some flexability and not lock beasty everytime

see thats the thing, u would think big bore more pressure moving easier threw the lines, but i think its the other way around, smaller the bore easier it is, but then i think if its to small(like stupid small like .70 for all 4 brakes lmao!) would be super hard to push cuz u dnt have all the fluid to move.


now i know how hydro systems work, nd it would make sense that bigger bore would be easier but idk, cuz pbm uses a 5/8th for there inline system but idk if an inline would use smaller/bigger than a non inline, and i cnt log on to there site(dunno y at the moment) to ask them this same questions....


its for an s13 and ill pm u when there up(dunno when this is happening, hopfully with money allowing a few months like next or one after that.




one thing that was just brought to my attention tho is the width of the rotor compared to the width of the caliper....hmm
id say a good half inch of gap, so would that work?
