HOW TO DO AN ADVANCED SEARCH.
Mon Jul 08, 2013 3:56 pm by Admin
For the benefit of 944Hybrids users there are two search functions available for you to use.
The purpose of this sticky is to explain the "Advanced Search" function because it is much more powerful and is the best choice when researching information.
When you log on to the site a list of options is shown in a line at the top of the page. One option is labelled "Search", use this option (NOT the search box lower down on the right).
After you click on the upper search option, a drop down box appears. At the bottom of this box is a radio button marked "Advanced …

Re: LS430 Big Brake Swap
It looks like the S2 mounting is going to be the 76mm / 3.0", similar to the Late Turbo. I meant to say S2 M030 in the previous post...
Yea, OOPS. (I'm not perfect, just damned close...)

Re: LS430 Big Brake Swap
They are on, and bled (best as I can tell). Has anyone noticed a slightly softer pedal, or am I needed to bleed them more. I used a Motive power bleeder and had my wife pump the pedal.

What MC are you using? (944 manual, Turbo, Wilwood...?)

Re: LS430 Big Brake Swap
23.81mm ~ 15/16" bore.
Hmmm. Not claiming to be an expert in fluid dynamics, but from research thus far, 15/16" bore with the LS430 calipers may be near the upper limit (MC size). 5/8" - 7/10" bore should be great on the manual system using dual MCs...15/16" would be better suited to the rear circuit. The hydroboost will seem to mask MC sizing issues, but you will "feel" it in the pedal.
Even so, that '83 should outbrake most things it outruns...
How does it stop? Any rear lockup under hard braking?

No, fronts do though, just clamps the 235's to a dead stop.

Then what's the problem?Dawgz83948 wrote:No, fronts do though, just clamps the 235's to a dead stop.
The LS430 has more piston volume, R1 rotor=more swept area...bla, bla, bla. You may have biased your rear brakes into "sleepyville"...
23mm MC has a .75" rear bore...manual setup with Turbo fronts on rear ~ 15/16" - 1" bore...(again, "boosted" may compensate for sizing diff., although rear bore is probably close, depending on rear components...)
Rear prop. valve? (944, 944T / S2 ?) Switching to the 15/8 valve may help.

I guess the big issue for me is that the pedal travel is rather far (3/4 of the way down) which makes me uneasy. I'm going to drive it around a bit and see if I get used to it.

Re: LS430 Big Brake Swap
I think I figured it out, in my tweaking of the hydroboost the push rod in the booster going into the master was "trimmed". I welded a tip back on it to make the puhrod a little longer and I have a much higher pedal. Anyways, I hate doing anything brake related on this car, it burns off tranny fluid and/or brake fluid forever.

Re: LS430 Big Brake Swap
Sweatin' me, dude...
Basically, not enough stroke @ the MC = not enough fluid movement / pressure, same as wrong size MC. I learn something new daily...
Glad you got it. Awesome.

Re: LS430 Big Brake Swap
Here's something else I learned...
When sizing master cylinders for the Tilton dual MC setup, pedal ratio is a major part of the equation. I had thought the 944 stock ratio was 5:1...until I got the dims from an actual pedal.
Here's the results...
The stock MC pushrod location = 4.25:1 ratio.
The .75" higher modified location (used in the booster delete / single manual MC setup) = 6:1 ratio.
(The MC pushrod mounting point would have to be raised ~1.1" to achieve a 7.6:1 ratio...)

Recalc
Hey Greg, So if the Pedal ratio is 4.25:1 then should BOTH MC's be recalc'd for a larger Diameter since there will be less pedal travel (Lexus fronts and rear)?????
What is a bonus about the Dual MC housing is the fact that it has the heim-joint pushrod so drilling the pedal for a different ratio won't cause binding worries.
Also the "Z" measurement taken should be exactly in the middle of the pedal

Are you proposing the option of a manual setup with the 4.25:1 pedal ratio? If so, that will require some very significant pedal force with a car this heavy. Most passenger cars give an effective boost (pedal ratio + booster ratio) in the 6:1 range. I don't think there is any use trying to get the 4.25:1 ratio to work. Maybe Tilton will have some insight on this.

Re: LS430 Big Brake Swap
4.25:1 Ratio:
FRONT MC = 5/8"
REAR MC = 15/16"
Estimated pedal pressure = 150 lbs.
6:1 Ratio:
FRONT MC = 7/10"
REAR MC = 1.0"
Estimated pedal pressure = 80-90 lbs.
Using the stock MC pushrod location is possible, but is not advisable...Also, the 4.25:1 ratio will exert significantly greater stress on the firewall.
*The 6:1 ratio is achieved by moving the MC pushrod mounting up the pedal 3/4"...

Re: LS430 Big Brake Swap
Yeah, 150lbs of pressure would get old fast. I think lots of people complain about manual brakes because they aren't properly setup. If we have adequate clamping force, appropriately sized MCs and enough pedal leverage we should have a nice setup.

It is actually better that the pushrod be moved up 3/4" to 1" because this will give even more clearance from the valve cover and now the 2312 modified header.....

Hey guyz I finished and want to post a pic. I left the water shield on the rear of the rotor. Seemed to fit fine, just had to cut a bit.

M030 UPDATE
I finally have a set of Turbo S spindles in hand. RADIAL MOUNT TABS
Looks like a 77mm offset rotor (late Turbo) and the LS 430 4-pots with the dowel pins shaved will fit the M030 spindles
The real quest would be to find a 77mm offset rotor with 315-330mm Diameter, 28 or 32mm Rotor sweep width.
So basically any Late spindle (non M030) with the LS430 calipers and Boxster S rotors trumps the M030 set-up IMO.
Copied from PP..... Looks like a 965 rotor would do the trick.......

Discs with a ‘top-hat’ (offset) dimension of 45mm will have an outer disc pad face in the same position as standard – the larger discs are thicker (32mm vs 28mm) therefore the inner pad face of the discs are 4mm further in (into the car). This will close the gap between the disc face and the track rod end – it has been suggested that heat build up from the disc can be a problem, but I have never heard of any actual experience of this.
Discs with a ‘top-hat’ dimension of 40mm will have an outer disc pad face 5mm further out than standard (also pushing the caliper further out by 5mm and closer to the spokes of your wheels). The inner pad face of the discs will be –1mm further out from standard (further out of the car) and hence remains virtually the same distance from your track rod end.
NOTE: the M030 spindle/hub assembly locates the disc approximately 3mm further out to compensate for the additional thickness of the discs from standard.
