i am building a del sol with a gsr motor and b16 tranny. the part that i really need help with is the clutch line. i wanna run steel braided hose if possible but not sure on how to make it work or if special fittings are needed?

Here you go...

 

is that the entire kit to run from slave to master cylinder?

 

Not that I know of. Why, may I ask? For the look? The lines from the master cylinder that runs along the firewall should already be metal. Can't get much better than that. There's only a small section of the line that is made of rubber. The SS line above replaces that rubber line to make it metal all the way through to the slave.

 

im building from scratch. and the oem metal lines come to a total of about 550 dollars. so im looking for the cheapest or easiest way around that

 

i bought a single line that goes from my master to slave cylinder. it runs over the tranny and on top of the intake mani. theres a vendor in the marketplace that sells them

 

This is one of those areas where you don't really want to "cheap out" on. After all, it IS the only way that power gets from your transmission to your tires. The cheaper the part the less likely it is to withstand the rigors of driving. If you can't afford new lines see if you can salvage used lines from a junked car. You would be better off with the standard hard lines since the entire system runs off of hydraulic pressure. If you alter the strength of the lines or the lines are allowed to expand...at all...you will loose pressure and that will cause your transmission to fail to shift. The clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder will be unable to create enough force to smash the pressure plate into the flywheel and your car will not go.

So, after spending all the time, effort, money, and parts to make your car run don't run cheap soft-lines for the clutch or brakes.

Keep in mind that you can have 3 of the following:
1. Cheap
2. Powerful/Effective
3. Reliable

You can't have it all.
