I didn't want to start a new thread and searching gives now definitive answer. My question is, does anyone know the correct procedure for bleeding a cnc hydro ebrake. I have the one without a cylinder. I remember installing it and trying to bleed it every which way but nothing worked until a guy at a drift event told me how to do it and it instantly worked after that. It was some weird order, like rear left first, then hydro, then rear right, then hyrdo. Then the fronts. But I really can't remember, it was a few years ago. Now I want to re-bleed it but I don't know how.

Yeah but I remember me and my buddy were trying forever to bleed it. And the rear would literally not lock up even one bit. Then when I got to the drift event this guy gave me a very specific bleeding order. After we did that it worked like a charm. I don't know if its RR, then RL then hydro, then fronts. Or maybe it was pump the hydro, hold it, then do RR, RL. Know what I mean. What is the exact procedure that you do to bleed yours?

Bleeding it like normal totally didn't work for me. Had no rear lockup at all.

I installed my hydro last night. Used pedal only, since it was "inline" figured that would work... it didnt haha. Tonight i'm going to bleed the rears with the handle only. See how that works. Figured i'll pull back on it, open the bleeder, close the bleeder, then let the handle up. And do that a few times on each side. (starting with RR first) Any input on this?

2hrs bleeding brakes? Unless it's some new ABS/Sensotronic Brake Cylinder shit, that's ridiculous. Couple pumps with a Mityvac on it, you're good.

ASD, inline 3/4 master, all hard lines
yeah, bleeding is definitely a bit troublesome, took me about 30min mixed bleeding with the pedal and hydro... I tried a mityvac, but it wasn't strong enough to pull through the cylinder.

I have a question for everyone with hydros.... Is there anyone who is running a stock length handle with the hydro in the stock position? I tried and its impossible.
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. 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. I thought a hydro was intended to be an updrade in locking power and make it easier to lock up the rear. 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 feel like i paid a buch of cash to have a lower grade ebrake that requires a big ol goofy handle to work properly. Has anyone else had these same feelings or is my set up lacking something that im overlooking. Last edited by TTnickdizzle; 10-04-2012 at 01:54 PM.. |

^ ive had a few people tell me new Autozone cheap pads are the best in terms of cold bite for a hydro ebrake . After reading back through the thread a second time i think i may just upgrade to a 7/8" bore MC and maybe some -4AN lines and see how that works.

Autozone pads might be OK, but if you really want some good pads, go buy good pads.
Protip: they'll cost $90+, and they'll probably eat your rotors faster than Autozone pads, but holy shit does the fun level change when you've got good brake pads F+R.

What pads would u recomend for some good initial bite? Im running Hawk HP front and rear right now for the real brakes but autozone pads on the hydro.
Is the brand of MC important for the response or is the Ksport 3/4" just as responsive as a willwood 3/4". I assume the wilwood will last longer but is it more responsive as well? |

Can anyone tell me exactly what fittings I need for the wilwood master? I went to a few parts stores and no one has the fitting for the bigger port. WTF? I know I can't be the only one that has had this problem but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere on the web

Which Wilwood master? The pressure fittings are usually 1/8" NPT on the new stuff, but the old ones were 3/8"-24 and the reservoir fitting is 7/16"-20 if it's threaded.

The .75 inline master. I found a diagram showing the fitting I need is 7/16 20.
I've been to 4 part stores now and no one carries it. Where the hell do I find this thing? Is it hard to find because there's normally no pressure running through that port? Where did everyone else get theirs? |

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). If you CAN make your own lines then order the hardware kit from ASD shogunner just posted up a link to it. Def buy one or the other. 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. I haven't gotten it yet but I've heard they're good/quality parts. 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 http://asdmotorsports.3dcartstores.c...-Kit_p_21.html If I could do it all over again I would have bought that and this http://www.enjukuracing.com/products...d-Masters.html right from the beginning and been done w it in an hour Last edited by Breakbeat93; 04-05-2013 at 11:57 PM..

I didn't read all the pages but know this, i had a blackworks hydro brake on my fc. I bled the thing i dont know how many times. did the procedure correctly. Used the brake correctly and it would just weep fluid past the piston seal doing nothing but slowing the car down a bit and then acting as though the lever wasn't pulled.
Just for the record i spent ALOT of time dialing in my car and sliding my car. it was a constant thing. Not a set and forget. I recommend if you get a CHEAP handbrake you buy a wilwood or oem quality master cylinder to avoid problems i had with mine. Also not a bad idea to invest in dual caliper bracket and a dedicated master cylinder res for. If you're going to do it i've been told by pros and am's alike that run hydro setups and LOVE them to do it that way. Best of luck. Have fun.

So ok i just bought an isis hydro with wilwood and it only has 1 port and its own reservoir... is it just for a dual caliper srtup or can i still make it work? What about capping the mc on the rear port would it ruin the mc? Also did that one guy that was just gona run the back with the hydro and front with pedal did it work? How does it feel ? I know lots of questions sorry just want to be sure before installing
