Re: Single Master Cylinder Conversion kit
How would this setup compare with the dual MC setup mentioned elsewhere on the site?

Re: Single Master Cylinder Conversion kit
The Wilwood 260-7563 is the closest match to the 944 master cylinder, and is a designated "manual" master cylinder. This one fact means the Wilwood will require less pedal pressure to stop the car than the "power-assisted" stock 944 MC. The Tilton Dual MC setup is matched to the caliper pistons and rotor surface area. The Dual MC setup requires 80-90 lbs. pedal pressure...the Wilwood I am unsure of, but the 944 stock MC requires ~150 lbs. pedal pressure.
The Wilwood is the "cost-effective" solution, but the Tilton is THE BEST setup for manual brakes (at a price, of course...).
The stock 944 MC is not a good idea...ask expuppy.

Re: Single Master Cylinder Conversion kit
Well, I am looking to get the car up and running in a safe manner first. I may end up with the dual MC setup later on, but it looks like the single shouldn't be a problem to start with. As mentioned in the manual, if the track guys are running a proper single MC setup, then the setup should be okay.
I also notice mention of the proportioning valves. Do I need to change mine out (86 951) for this setup?

Re: Single Master Cylinder Conversion kit
If you have a place to setup / test the car, an adjustable prop valve would be ideal. If not, the Turbo, S or 928 valve will work (5/18 bar / #951.355.305.01).
(I'm even quoting the manual...mine's open on page 79...beats searching for part numbers on 5 different drives and a dozen or so sites!)
NOTE: The Booster Delete Plate shown on page 78 is ONLY for the 944 MC, and retains the cereal bowl. Revisions to the manual will be posted shortly...)

Re: Single Master Cylinder Conversion kit
Just to be clear, can I use the Wilwood 260-7563 set up with the LS430 front calipers / turbos rear?

Greg?
I'm not sure what Expuppy was running as far as calps on his. I would think with an adjustable biasing valve set on the rear circuits..... many possibilities

Yes.
5/18 Porsche 944 OR Wilwood adjustable.
With any brake setup.
(expuppy is running Wilwood fronts, Turbo rears (?)
and a Wilwood adjustable prop valve.)

Re: Single Master Cylinder Conversion kit
Good to know. Got my plate / rod on order through Greg. I will be working on rest of the brake stuff once I get through buying all of the engine swap stuff.
