AE86 Willwood Big Brake Kit Install (BGRS)

[@DoubleOSevan]

Thanks for putting these informative videos out for the community! Your editing and on-screen performance has noticeably improved, so keep up the great work!

[@CMAutohaus]

Thank you boss! I actually have two different people editing majority of my videos now. I am usually pretty beat when I bring out the camera, but I do my best!

Hey Ezekiel! How did you fit the Carbing bar so that it doesn't press down on the master reservoir? I tried using washers, but then the hood came into contact with the bar. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

[@CMAutohaus]

I think I ran a single washer on the camber plates to space the bar up. Every chassis going to be a bit different, but mine barley touched the cap. I cut off the fluid level sensor on the cap so I could take the cap on and off

More to come!

Dope upgrade

[@CMAutohaus]

Much appreciated! They look pretty as well!

i did the wilwood bb kit recently p sure its the same as yours except im pretty sure the brake lines it came with have a smaller ID than the ones you have there. just wondering if that could amount to me having relatively weak pedal feel. running a micro brake booster from flo as well as a proportioning valve( WW)

[@CMAutohaus]

Is it the T3 kit? Line diameter shouldnt matter. Before anything I would check for leaks and if you bleed in the correct order.

[@decoyla]

@@CMAutohaus same kit apart from the lines from flos.ie. i bled it 2-3 times starting from the furthest corner. zero leaks. the pedal feel is the same as it was before the change. feels as though the brakes arent assisted even though the booster has vacuum going to it

[@CMAutohaus]

@@decoyla Not assisted. So pedal should feel "too firm" then. Too "soft" would be an over assisted system. Inside bleeder then outside bleeder last right? You can have to hit the calipers while bleeding to move stubborn air bubble.

[@decoyla]

@@CMAutohaus yeah did inside then outside. didnt tap it though. its more of im not getting much brake pressure for the first half of the pedal travel. and then it starts coming on

[@CMAutohaus]

Brake booster push rod adjustment and front and rear rotor thickness is only other thing is recommend checking

[@maxperez7875]

I think a 1998 Supra master cylinder works with it. I haven't really look into it but I heard that it works.

[@CMAutohaus]

I would skip all the frustation and get a BBK properly desgined for the car like the BG kit instead of piece mealing a "kit" and hoping for the best like I did.

[@mr.j.martinez]

​@CMAutohaus that takes the guesswork out of the equation and saves more money in the long run.

[@alainenriquez3899]

I have this kit from T3. Im not running any type of proportioning valve. Do you remember running one? Ive done a couple track days with no issues. And daily driven it with no issues.

[@CMAutohaus]

Ive run the FC calipers and this kit using the BGRS Wilwood prop valve. I am not the "best" driver, but I used to do a consistent 2:01 at Laguna Seca if that gives you an idea how hard I use the brakes.

[@alainenriquez3899]

@@CMAutohaus thanks Ezekiel for replying. Sorry meant to ask if you recommended running a prop valve? Not remember running one. Sorry.

[@CMAutohaus]

@@alainenriquez3899 Yes. Highly recommended. Many factors such as ambient temp, tires, brake pads will all change brake bias and it is very valuable to be able to change bias on the fly shop.battlegarage-rs.com/products/wilwood-proportioning-valve

[@alainenriquez3899]

@@CMAutohaus i might just have to order me a prop valve. And do all the suspension and brakes at the same time!! Thanks Ezekiel!! And keep up the good work!!

[@alainenriquez3899]

@@CMAutohaus another question, any reason why only using a rear? Would having a front prop valve be useful and also having a bias up front?

[@RedXLilAznBoi]

Now do the rear :)

[@CMAutohaus]

Silk Road S13 rotor adapters in the rear. I would like to change the rear calipers, but only because ae86 rear calipers are getting to be a scarcity.

These don't clear celica supras for those who are interested who may have p type wheels on their cars. A spacer is needed, and I'll find out soon enough how big it needs to be for the wheels to clear. They clear with a 6mm spacer.
