ABS BMC can be used for a None-ABS-System ?

[Behind Horizon]

Hello guys,

i actually have this ABS-BMC from a R33 GT-R, i do want to throw my ABS Unit out however i do want to keep this specific BMC.

The problem is that this BMC do only have two ports, however i need 3, two ports for each front caliper and one port for the rear calipers.

My question now is if i can put a Y- or T-piece on the port for the front brake s and convert my ABS-BMC to a None-ABS-BMC in that way?.

I spoke to several people regarding this case, some say it is possible, some say i can have problems because too less fluid/pressure can move through one hole then through two holes.

That's why i cutted my old S13 BMC in two halfes and saw that there is only one small hole supplying all 2 ports of the bmc, so i think the argument with the "to less fluid/pressure" is crap.

What do you guys think about this case?

Thanks in advance.

Yea, I wouldn't be down with that plan.

Looks like it theoretically could work, but It's your brakes, you want them to work like they are suppossed too.

Thats why people order specific Z32 BMC's, they come with a removable plug in there, not molded shut.

yeah do it right the first time, and order the correct one

I don't agree with them. That configuration can and should work correctly. If you look at the setup of the BMC, you're not altering the location of the brake line ports. You're actually keeping it exactly the same.

Visually it looks incorrect because you're splitting the fluid coming from the BMC, but once the system is pressurized and bled properly, you should have the exact same amount of force coming out of the BMC as you did with the ABS setup.

Like you said, the OEM BMCs have the Y-coupler internally, so it's really the same thing as what you're trying to do. Where you can end up with problems is relocating the actual ports on the BMC (like reversing the front and rears).

Just make sure there's no leaks after install, and BLEED the system. The only problem I can see with this is that the coupler might trap air, maybe even just a small amount.

^^^ is spot on. If you can bleed the living crap out of it and make sure there is no air traped anywhere in the system and no leaks you will be fine. Althou i hve never done this before i have seen many poeple do this and they have had no problems. Just make sure to take your time and do it right.

i also am doing this and i cant seem to find these damn T or Y fittings anywhere!? i heard there are some on some toyotas and hondas that i can just take off them but not sure which kinds...if i would get these fittings at a dealership what do i ask them? like make, model and year thanks
