Cheap E30 Brake Upgrade Rx7/Vw BlockHeads Garage Ep.15

In this episode we throw the Rx7/VW brake upgrade on and see if how it works

[@tonystanley5337]

Bit concerned there is no mention of brake bias, and that stopping distance seems to be a function of braking force and not tyres??? If you can't lock the wheels surely there is a problem? or is everyone too spoilt by ABS that they have lost that knowledge. The point of bigger disks is to avoid brake fade, not improve 1-time stopping distance!

[@carlosayala3042]

Thank you very much for the info , I got a m50 swap , and I was looking to improve my breaking and this really help me a lot , saludos from Lima Peru !!

[@RobbSRL]

Look how long the studs are!!!! Perfect.

[@Petrol360]

Looks like this will help me with my swap haha Grate video and iv been really looking forward to the road trip!

[@aeskaters1592]

nice video..we found a HUGE difference using a more aggressive pad in our Sentra Race car.....I suspect you will get way better results just by going back to the same pad you had before...

[@julianshur9844]

You can get a much simpler brake line adapter, theyre on the front calipers of most 90's volvos. I got mine at the junk yard.

[@Iain240]

Big brakes don't stop you faster, they just let you do more laps without brake fade. Why is this so hard for seemingly smart people to understand? If your old brakes could lock up all 4 wheels your new ones can't possibly do any better.

[@1-UZ]

How do the manual brakes compare to the original booster setup for everyday driving?

[@TWRX_Chuck]

Good to see the E30 project back!

[@NateRamsey]

Thanks, I think it'll be around for awhile.

[@BlakesGarage]

[@TWRX_Chuck]

Blake's Garage yo man!

[@BlakesGarage]

T-WRX Guess who bought an E30?

[@TWRX_Chuck]

Blake's Garage You did?! Dude I've owned 2, they are great project cars!

[@VegasPrintDaddy]

yea i think im going to do this instead of the 5 lug conversion. its way more cost friendly and im fine with my choices of 4 lug wheels

[@marcoesteban1324]

I know im randomly asking but does any of you know of a method to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the password. I would love any help you can offer me

[@hamzapaxton7673]

@Marco Esteban instablaster ;)

[@marcoesteban1324]

@Hamza Paxton Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and Im trying it out now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@marcoesteban1324]

@Hamza Paxton it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much, you really help me out!

[@hamzapaxton7673]

@Marco Esteban Glad I could help :)

[@peterhatch1583]

Thks for the video ! Do have part number for v.w rotors and calibers I was going porsche 996 but you way a lot less$$

[@elijahdangrow3324]

When you did this conversion, did you do the rear too, or did you leave it alone? Abs did you happen to have any updates on whether you liked other break conversions for the e30?

[@GabrielLopez-sq6bl]

You can also upgrade your master cylinder to a e32 735I!

[@robinvandenheede2241]

I want to buy a conversion set, where do i get those? ( al ready have the rx7 calipers) thanks!

[@ernestolopez6899]

What year calipers from the Rx7... thank you!

[@t1mkong]

what is the thicknes of the Conversion Caliper Brackets?

[@johngutierrez922]

Any update on this? Did the break booster need to be replaced?

[@LACTS-be7pr]

Hey...Iam in desperate need for those caliper brackets...do you know where I can get it? catuned and garagistic are not currently selling...thanks

[@Landrytommy]

would you change anything on the rear wheels?

[@matiasrivas8251]

wich rotors are? can you send a link with more info?

[@emanuelsolis1549]

hey brother that discs did you use to make this swap ????

[@zoranm9417]

What torque on those four bolts did you use?

[@alex_rodriguez777]

Anyone know how well these clearance 15" wheels?

[@revmatchtv]

What pads did you guys use for these calipers?

[@NateRamsey]

Axxis XBG.

[@doyenshowroom6735]

Would this work on an e24?

[@PeterHatch-mx7zc]

Do you need to change the master cyd bore size

[@clayp.e30_v86]

I'm running rx7 calipers in my v8 e30. I still run the brake booster setup, but I have a 750 master cylinder ready to fit to reduce travel and give better pedal feel. 750 master is better suited to the 4 pots

[@TinnieSingh]

Are they 280mm G60 disks?

[@TinnieSingh]

Yes they are also fitted to corrado's. golf g60 and corrado g60 280mm :) Love the videos

[@rmiller28]

what ever happened with this car and the brakes??

[@Nperez1986]

Which VW are these off of?

[@egjr2722]

Nperez1986 1990 vw corrado. I bought my rotors on ebay but you can get them on rockauto.com too.

[@arrages23]

get a bias prop valve.. wilwood makes one for like 40 bucks

[@JYTherapy]

Rotor center bore should be 66mm

[@thegoldentench]

will the original e30 15 bbs wheels clear this setup?

[@GrandProductionsMedia]

The original depending might be 14"s but almost certain they wouldn't, mines were mm's away from clearing the stock calipers, I found that very weird but they are 14"s is makes sense. Id say 16-17's at minimum with a certain wheel offset or spacers is what you would need.

[@jamesoconnell5974]

Grand Productions Media what model rx-7 caliper Fc??

[@egjr2722]

Jason OC the ones he used are Turbo FC calipers.
