if one was to upgrade to a bigger master cylinder from another company like willwood or another brake company
what is involved in the conversion
I need to know asap
thanks

 

They usually don't bolt on to your stock components. You will have to purchase a new brake pedal assembly that will accept the master. Going this route usually means installing dual cylinders with one channel for the front and another for the rear. (with appropriate sizes for brake balancing) Which means a replumbing of the brake lines (get rid of that diagonal system) and tossing the brake booster. And when you toss the booster, you will probably go with smaller than stock cylinders anyways, unless your right leg looks like the Terminators. The cylinders on my Civic are 2 sizes smaller than stock. I don't think this is all what you had in mind i bet.

 

nope not what i had in mind
i have bigger brakes front and rear
but the MC went bad after sitting for 6 months

BBKs should have the same piston volume as OEM calipers, if correctly designed. Any add'l brake torque should be a factor of leverage, if at all (a la StopTech).

 

Yep, check out the link in the FAQ regarding big brake kits.

 

well i dont know now
i have issues
pedal still goes almost to the floor
I swapped in a new BMC and new pads
next will be rotors and then rebleed it all over again for the millionth time
and 6 bottles of wilwood 570
i checked vacuum on the booster and there is good vacuum
im getting pissed

Sure the original MC is any good?

Oh, if you do have bigger brakes, then tell us what you did. You might just need a 1" MC from a GSR or something similar.

 

i swapped in a new master cylinder BMC...
