I been trying to find info on this as well. My MC seems like it may be on its way out and I'd like to do a 929 swap. Last time I asked in this section I got no answers. I've read that a 626 MC is almost a direct drop in upgrade as well. There has got to be someone on here that has done the 929 upgrade.

I've upgraded. one of the best mods I've done. I track my car and the 929 MC was a huge leap in braking performance (I had already done pads, rotors, brake bleeding before 929 upgrade). Stock t2 MC is 15/16", the 929 is 1". I forget which years 929 will work since I got it free from a buddy who had a few sitting around. Anyways you'll have to fab a brake line or bend your stock one. You'll also have to adjust the brake pedal play and also brake light sensor behind the pedal (this took me the longest trying to not have the brakes drag while having minial play before engagement). Search the info is out there and I personally posted my experiences on it in my track day threads.

Opinions are like........
Stock NA is 7/8.
So could a 15/16" T2 MC/booster be an upgrade for the NA's?
Is the T2 master cylinder a bolt-in in the NA? or would I need the booster/MC combo?
I was under the impression that the 1" 929 master cylinder requires custom hardlines.

Less brake pedal travel can easily be accomplished by adjusting the brake booster pushrod. I used to have to put my pedal all the way to the floor practically until I read a thread on here talking about adjusting the brake booster. You just unbolt the master cylinder (couple bolts, easy to get to) then use a vise grip and a 7mm socket to lengthen the brake booster pushrod. The key is to only adjust it just enough that your brakes don't drag. It may take a couple of adjustments to get it right. Do a search on it. You don't even need to disconnect any brake lines or do any sort of bleeding.
I don't see how this mod would really be necessary. Wouldn't you actually need MORE pedal effort, once the booster makes contact with the master cylinder, to push all that fluid? That's why you'd have to adjust the brake pedal etc. to get more leverage.
