WHOA, DO NOT CONTINUE DRIVING LIKE THAT.

You will melt it and/or worse!

I suggest you look into the Chase Bays brake booster eliminator or any other similar quality aftermarket brake booster replacement/substitute. Also please SHIELD it from the turbo!


edit: beat me to it! ^^

my top mount GTX3076R turbo is around an 1/4 of an inch at most from my z32 master cylinder and brake lines (s13 hatch). Wrapped with DEI dial a gold heat wrap. Pic below

Any other options?

Non-power brakes for a daily driver...? Sounds yucky. I don't think I would be too excited about converting to non-power assist brakes but i would love to have the room back from the Chase Bays Kit.

pic below with the master cylinder unbolted as we were putting the turbo and driveline in

Chase bay kit is out of the question gave a call to willwood they to me one port master cylinder shouldn't power four calipers they HIGHLY recomend not doin this

They told me there shoukd be a minimun of one cylinder per two calipers if brake booster is out of the question

So s14 slim booster or sentra im using a cast iron top mount 35r its not at a angle as pictured obove

It may not be interchangeable but I've seen a few hardbody guys use a booster off a geo metro when they're tucking 24's. look on the build for the show TRUCKS! They did that setup

The Ford Festiva booster works as well, if that aligns any better with your brand perception.

Neither is really thinner though.
Just more adorable.

No they are the same size, at least for the S13, the ones that were bigger were the ABS ones. My automatic car has the same one as my manual car.
Both of my S13s have the middle one, my buddy has a ABS S13 and it looks like the last one.

OK so now the obvious question is going to be can you use or adapt the thinner S14 booster for use on an early S13?

If the S14 thinner brake booster is plug and play I'll bite. How much shipped to 98296? (Washington)

Now finally assembed, here is how close it sits with the normal S13 brake booster:

GT35R with a 1.06 housing? Man that must spool late!

Of course there is a reason, but I am not a mechanical engineer who designs automotive braking systems. An easy guess would be that the larger brake booster is to help buffer pedal feel with surges in hydraulic pressure associated with the activitation of the ABS system, but I don't really know what I am talking about.

I don't have an ABS car, so I don't need it.

On the S14, they are different. My booster doesnt look a thing like the S14 Manual booster posted below, hence the "Auto" terminology. The S14 ABS/Auto boosters are exactly the same item, they just varied MC sizing.

Read above, I had an auto non-ABS car and mine looks exactly like third picture, I'm the second owner and it was never swapped out.

Yes, there is a reason. However, most cars are no longer in their factory configuration. I no longer have an automatic in my car, however I do have larger brakes all around and like the added boost.

I ran the Chase Bays brake booster delete kit on my s13 and loved it, cause after you get used to it its not bad... but with that being said im surprised they didn't tell you about the tandem remote master cylinder. I think that would be your better option.. Chase Bays sells it all and I'm sure they could sell you the plate with it that mounts to the firewall.

I have not seen the kit ran like that but If you call chase again and ask I'm sure it wouldn't hurt. i have included pics of my setup (looks shity in this pic) and the tandem wilwood master cylinder.
