Redwarf Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Guys, that was a picture of the front disks I put up. It has Hi-lux drums on the rear. Go figure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 theres no requirement's to upgrade brakes for engine conversions :down: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demuire Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 jason: I think there is actually. I'm not sure what exactly it is though, I think it goes something along the lines that the brakes have to be equivalent if not better than the original brakes from the original car (that the engine came out of). Or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 theres no requirement's to upgrade brakes for engine conversions :down: No requirement? Yes.... but a good idea? YES! But that's my personal opinion... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 (edited) thats what i though until i spoke to the engineer, Robin something. Also said we can run rubber fuel lines the whole way? Â PS i am doing brake upgrades anyway. Shuddereds at the though of stock ke70 brakes. Edited June 24, 2005 by Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demuire Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Jason: no i don't think you can use rubber fuel lines all the way. I guess it depends on what your engineer says, if he says you can then it's your call... I wouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Jamie Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 theres no requirement's to upgrade brakes for engine conversions :down: well... that's all subjective to your engineer. personally, if i found someone who would allow ANY better-than-K engine into a corolla with stock brakes, i wouldn't want them engineering my car. any turbo motor with stock KExx brakes is a death wish  there's also a clause in the ADRs that specifies that, even with the original engine, if you sufficiently upgrade the power output of a vehicle, you are supposed to sufficiently upgrade the safety systems (ie: brakes, seatbelts, etc) of the vehicle as well  realistically, i don't think stock corolla brakes stop a stock corolla well enough, never mind one with a warm 4k like mine, or a big power motor like rob's or doug's. after having one full braking run in fook's ae35, you realise just how pathetic a single piston, 218mm solid rotor brake really is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Jamie Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 so much so that i won't be registering the car with stock brakes, even if it's got a stock 3k in it. cars that stop quicker than they accelerate are cool :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
