Upgrading brake master cylinder - ae100 Corolla wagon - PICS

[XSVWGN]

I just got a cusco master cyliner brace for the ae101 series and it looks like it doesnt fit. Not due to its construction but im pretty sure i have the standard 5afe cylinder in there.

Is it a simple upgrade process? for example would an ae101/ae111 trueno, levin etc have a large one that would bolt straight up in place?

Im putting in a 20v turbo engine so want good braking obviously

i put a mid 90's camry master cylinder in to my 1979 starlet as a straight bolt-on, so maybe a walk through pick a part with a tape measure would reveal some options.

yea very true! i was out there today too. hmmmm ... there was a blacktop levin out there and a few other bits and pieces.

Has anyone else done a similar conversion?

Hilux 1" master cylinder bolts to aw11 booster with no mods.
Should do a search of toymods, they are really helpful.

i put a ae101 20v one in my car

EDIT: mine was originally 4afe, wouldnt think that would matter though

i converted the driver from an ae100 wagon into an ae101 sedan and the booster on the 4age powered vehicle is deffinately thicker dude... i measured it with my cusco master cylinder brace too

who would have thought they would have been different...

my 101 fx..

The length is 15.5mm, it also has two brake lines coming off it (front and rear) where I can only seen one in your pic

[XSVWGN]

well i have sourced a ae101 20v one so it should be smooth sailing now

gaaa the 20v one i got was the same as mine afther the guy assured me it was the one i was after! so i think im after the opne with ABS as they are bigger and thats what i need.

The only reason im doing all this is so that my mater cylinder brace will fit i will find a way though... not going to give up

what do those braces bolt to? is there reinforced bolt holes already?
they make much of a difference?

I'm assuming they are designed to look pretty

[XSVWGN]

Santa yea they make heaps of difference and B1NZ they do look pretty. They push against the master cylinder stopping any movement

you calling my 30 second DIY one pretty.. awww fanks Brendon!

[soopachargen]

did u get the master cyl or the booster? the booster was the only difference on mine

[XSVWGN]

ive got both. Both boosters and mastercylinders i have are slightly different. The 4age booster doesnt fit ... a hammer will need to be involved to his a small area in the engine bay and everything will be sweeet

if thats the case Matt, just take some measurements and Ill mod the brace to fit current mast cyl. May just have to repaint but no biggy. Theres actually a place out Wingate before melbar engineering that do powdercoating at a very reasonable price, just depends how pretty you want it.

If you get stuck mate let us know. Algood.
