Default brake issues. newly built car. need some good minds to help me out plz

ok so i just finished building my eg w/ DC2 f & r brakes. new brembo disc, hawk HPS pads, SS lines, Motul RBF 600 Racing Brake Fluid, 40/40 PV, brake booster, 15/16s MC. test driving around it's fine. brakes work awesome! but after 5 mins of driving they start sezing up to the point where i'm fully boosed at 4000RPMs and not moving and the clutch starts to slip. so i have to wait an hour to let the brakes cool down then it's fine. for another 5 mins. the vac line is on w/ the valve w/ the E pointing towards the motor. PLZ help me out.

You probably need to adjust the push rod to the booster and the MC. If it isn't fully releasing, it can progressively lock the brakes.

what brake booster are you running?

you CANNOT run a abs booster with a non abs MC will not work with each other

idk about that. i think it's the the 15/16 MC is longer so when i mate it up to the ABS BB it presses a lil. i will work on it tomarrow and see what i come up with. if all i have to do is shim the MC, cool i'm down
