Generally start by drilling two holes in the floor. BE MINDFULL of clearing your shifter, factory ebrake, seat, steering wheel, etc when installing.īending and cutting the 3/16” hard line is also another part you will need to freestyle, depending on where your handbrake is. Figure out the best way for you, weather it be drilling into the transmission tunnel, or welding a plate to mount it on. For me the easiest way was to place the front mount on one of the AKG baseplate bolts, and using a bracket to come off of the rear baseplate bolt. This is going to be different between everyone depending on if you will be using your center console, what shifter you are using, etc. All we are doing here is cutting the 3/16” line that runs underneath the driver side of the car, plumbing a line to the inlet of the hydro handbrake, and plumbing a line from the hydro handbrake, back to the line underneath the car.įirst we need to mount the hydro handbrake. This application of a Hydro handbrake will put the handbrake in line with the rear brakes. locks up the rear nicely with hawk rear pads on stock s13 brakes.Okay lets get started. So i replaced the whole rear brake hardline from the master to the passenger side of the engine bay. Now i have it replacing the stock location and have made a new handle for itĪnd this season i changed up the handle a bit i ordered the straight handle but they sent me the wrong one so on my old car i just made a new handle. Here is the bracket i made and you can see the hardlines going to the brake. Then i ran the other side of the brake to my passenger firewall where it enters the engine bay again and routes to the rear brake block bolted to my frame rail. i want to redo this part with a proper AN setup to bolt onto the fire wall. I started with a line from my master cyl through my firewall, then a junctions inside the car. With this i had to make a bracket to mount it on, and run some lines that i bent. I bought it off of some random rock climbing site i found on google. This thread could be a nice collection of info! If I could do it all over again I would have bought that and this right from the beginning and been done w it in an hour You will also need to find a spot to mount the new brake which will require some fabrication (welding a base at minimum) unless you remove your stock ebrake and buy this I haven't gotten it yet but I've heard they're good/quality parts. You will save yourself a major fucking headache.I probably spent 125 in gas driving around looking for the right hardware before I just broke down and ordered the install kit. If you CAN make your own lines then order the hardware kit from ASD shogunner just posted up a link to it.ĭef buy one or the other. If you can't bend/flare brake lines then just spend the 125 bucks and buy the install kit from enjuku (make sure you tell them it's for an s13, apparently the braided lines are dif sizes for s13/14). Tight from the kat Mani? WTF does that mean? You would re-route the rear brake line to run from the stock master to the hand brake master then from hand brake master to the tee block by your passenger rear brake (where the one rear brake line splits into two). Yes leave your stock brake cables on, unless you plan to remove your stock ebrake. what are the basics of it do you still run the e brake cables? what if my mc only has 2 ports and its already tight from the kat mani? what other parts do i need if i buy a k sport ebrake? I wanna do this mod on my s13 but have some questions. With a dual caliper setup you shouldnt have any issues at all bleeding. You should REALLY look into upgrading the pads. Has anyone else had these same feelings or is my set up lacking something that im overlooking. I feel like i paid a buch of cash to have a lower grade ebrake that requires a big ol goofy handle to work properly. I can see that with a long enough handle you can produce enough leverage to feel like its locking them up easy but thats all leverage. I thought a hydro was intended to be an updrade in locking power and make it easier to lock up the rear. The only way i can get it to lock up was extending the handle and even then its like 10x harder to lock up than with the stock z32 ebrake system. Im running a dual caliper set up with a ksport hydro (3/4 bore MC), -3An lines, with Z32 calipers, and new autozone cheapo pads. Is there anyone who is running a stock length handle with the hydro in the stock position? I tried and its impossible. I have a question for everyone with hydros.
