Very interested in a KA harness. Any idea when you will be done development on these?

Chase Bays · 09-14-2010, 12:52 PM

Thanks for the support guys.

We're getting pictures of the completed PS kits this week.

Brake lines, Brake Booster deletes, and Clutch lines are in stock.

It works with stock pedal. All you do is remove the OEM Booster and MC and replace it with our kit.

"Does it matter if you are not running stock brakes" Good question! With this setup the master cylinder size is based more upon weight of the car. The master cylinder we use on most 240 sized cars is a 7/8's. We've used 7/8's on a EVO7 rally car with 4 piston Brembo's and it was completely sufficient.

We're about 2 weeks out on completion of the KA harnesses. SR is about 4 or 5 weeks out, and RB 25/26 will be done by the end of the year.

How about pedal travel? Does this change the pedal ratio from factory at all? What is the max. recommended piston surface area for use with a (short?) stroke 7/8" bore BMC?

Balancing adequate line pressure, comfortable pedal stroke and volume displacement with such a wide range of caliper sizes out there, a single size bore may not be ideal for every possible application.

I agree, I guess I should have elaborated more. One size does not fit all. However, with our testing the 7/8th's on a S chassis with OEM/Z/Most aftermarket brakes has proved itself to be best. If the customer feels as they need a bigger or smaller bore size, then we can discuss that when an order is being placed.

Just to give you guys more knowledge, we installed a 1 inch master cylinder on our booster delete kit and 300zx brakes onto a S13. Its hard to explain it but the pedal was significantly harder to press, and required a lot more leg pressure to get the car to stop. Overkill. We haven't tested it but, I am sure that a full weight EVO or STI (No ABS) would make that extra bore size usable, without giving you leg pains. Just trying to make an example that bigger isn't better in this case.

This is very tempting, but there is no way I would purchase it without trying it first. If anyone in Norcal buys a kit and lets me drive it I'll definitely write a review.

2) New lines from the tank for an additional cost.

I sent you a PM about picking up some of your AN-Look hose clamps with some other questions and haven't gotten a response yet. Are these available for purchase through your website? I looked and couldn't find them.

i have a 240 with a 2JZ swap if you wanted to get your hands on i could get some prices for shipping it down there. no current wiring has been done and the car is a shell at this point.

Chase Bays · 09-18-2010, 01:36 PM

Replied to all PMs

I would be 100% down. Still on the look out for a 2JZ mockup car.

PM me, our zipcode is 35173

drivnovrdaedge · 09-19-2010, 08:01 PM

pm sent about doing a harness for 1jz into a bmw e30 ...let me know if we can work something out

smbonn2005 · 09-19-2010, 08:08 PM

Are you going to have the harness go right through the firewall like stock or is it going to have a connector right outside the firewall as I have seen some companies do?

We offer many options such as Military Spec connectors for the firewall (used as a quick disconnect for the entire engine harness) Raychem DR-25 heat shrink, yellow sensor labels, etc. Race, Street, and Show cars can benefit from our wiring harnesses. Nissan market wise we make or will be making KA, SR, RB, VQ, LS1, 2JZ harnesses that are plug and play into the S chassis.
