Clutch Master Cylinder Options?
I need something heavier duty than the stock clutch M/C.
Are there any bolt-in, or minor mods required clutch M/C's that can go into these cars? I searched but didn't find anything specifically relevant. |
Look around for threads by Trochoid. I believe it is him who has done it, but someone on here has used a 2nd gen MC. Not sure if it is heavier duty or not, but it's something to help you on your search.

Clutch master, sorry, no, I have managed to install an FC brake master as part of my big brake upgrade though. Still trying to figure out how to assemble the rear brakes. Not having much luck with those.

I just replaced mine this weekend. Used the cheep one from napa and it works fine with the stock clutch. Just a PITA to get in and out of the car. I hate reconnecting that dang pushrod.
|
just a quick question. what kind of mods are you running that makes u need it upgraded?
|
I'm using a very heavy clutch/PP setup. I don't want to risk it using a stock M/C.
I'll see if I can retrofit a Wilwood setup. Was hoping someone had already one it! |
Are you more concerned about the pedal effort or the ability of the OEM M/C to handle the pressure? If it's pedal effort, you'll want a smaller bore M/C to bring it down -- but you'll have more travel, everything else being equal. If you're worried about the OEM system handling the pressure, I'm running an ACT extreme pressure plate and 6-puck disc combo, which is supposed to be good for approx. 500 ft-lb of torque. The pedal effort is much higher, but the M/C seems to be holding up just fine. The internal design is similar to that of a brake M/C so it may be able to handle a lot more pressure than it usually sees.

All your master cylinder does is operate the slave cylinder. Unless you are changing that as well then there isn't a need. Pretty simple parts. The master displaces the correct amount of fluid that the slave requires to extend fully. People have been using the stock parts on HD clutches for decades without problems.

simple upgrade, install a steel braided clutch line for added confidence
