Re: Staging Brake (LSR-Abuser)
haha okay cool just checking. They're pretty basic to setup. First off you'll have to cap your stock brake lines running to the rear. Mount the staging brake itself wherever it fits and for what is comfortable. Then you just need to run a line to the rear and T it into each brake. Simple as that and they do work well.

I do have some pics but they're actually not on this computer so I can't load them up right now. I'll PM them to you just as soon as I do tho and yea, they are pretty tall.

Re: (Project-D)
The cylinder diamter will determine how much pressure it will make with a given effort. It's a normal master cylinder, it'll make plenty of pressure. I know for a fact you can make over 1000psi...

That staging brake is designed to run inline, since it has no fluid reservoir.
Its kind of difficult to attach one of these to a tandem brake system. You would have to tee both rear brake lines together coming out of the proportioning valve, run that line into the brake, then tee them back out to each rear brake line. This works but it kinda makes the tandem brake system useless.
BTW I have one of these for sale, used only about a month.... I'll take $80 shipped

Re: Staging Brake (LSR-Abuser)
We are using one on our Turbo 4 car.
I made all new stainless brake lines for the whole system. There are 2 ports on the master cyl. Use one for the front brakes (T'ed to each side). Use the other to run to a prop. valve then to the staging brake then T'ed to each side in the rear. Get a Autometer gauge and put it after the staging so you know how much psi you can drag in to lights and stage. It takes some getting use to.

Re: Staging Brake (Zubaltec)
This is right from CNC's website. It's reversed for RWD cars, since obviously then need it the other way.
Here's one place to get them....

Some of you street car guys may want to run he horizontal handle type, so you don't have a big lever sticking up in the middle of the car.

Re: Staging Brake (ProfessorNate)
This looks like a RWD configuration?
The problem that I have seen, is that tying into the brake pedal like that will cause the front end to dive and the rear tires lock up since the weight is being lifted off of the rear due to braking. Sometimes even popping the tire and causing a crash. There have been some talk that NHRA was suppose to clear up the rule on the way this is connected.
