Hello,
My 73 914 has been fitted with 911 rotors and 944 calipers. The guy installed the 944 vaccum brake booster and master cylinder in the spare tire well of this car. Needless to say, I am not impressed with his conversion. I wish to remove the power brake booster and install the master cylinder back where it belongs. My Question is, will the 944 master cylinder thats is currently attached to the brake booster bolt into the original 914 mount? If not what master will bolt up to the 914 and work with the 944 calipers? Cheers |

Your engine probably doesn't create enough vacuum to work properly with that booster.
Go to a 19mm MC, $75-$150. Should work good with the brake setup you have. Expect to push harder on the pedal though. What kind of pads are you running, also? That will have an effect on your car's braking as well. |

Expect to push harder on the pedal though. What kind of pads are you running, also? That will have an effect on your car's braking as well. Its a 2.7 litre 6, it seems to create lots of vacuum. I ran it up through the first 3 gears to about 90 mph near my buddies place, a white car, (the cops!) pulled up a side street about half a mile ahead, I hit the brakes hard, and all 4 wheel instantly and totally locked up. Its wwaayy to touchy with that big booster on it. Fine if it was a caddy, but its not. Not only that it looks rediculous in the spare tire well. Jim at patrick motorsports agrees the 19 will work just fine, but he perfers the 23 as the pedal is stiffer, so Im gonna give it a try. I will report back. Cheers & Thanks |
