I just got finished installing a custom turbo kit and putting a semi-built motor in. For some reason after startup I need to pump the brakes to build pressure otherwise the pedal goes to the floor and the brakes do nothing.

I have the brake booster line connected to the intake manifold but what might be the cause of this? I didnt do anything involving the brakes and this is the 2nd turbo kit I've put on this car and the 4th time the motors been swapped and I've never had this problem before.

Thanks, I'm sure its something simple I overlooked!

 

yo check the break lines you might have punctured one of them its gotta be the lines if you didnt touch anything about the breaks

 

when you swapped motors you probably opened up the clutch slave cylinder. Bleed the brakes

 

you got air in there.

The clutch slave is interconnected with the brake lines? I did have to refill the clutch slave because I had to swap rubber lines and the slave cylinder on the tranny, but I've done this a ton of times before with swaps and have never had a problem.

Thanks for the replys guys!
