3S-GTE USDM Turbo Engine Turbo brake upgrade

MadMonk · 10-12-2009, 01:06 PM

I've searched and got conflicting answers.

If you swap 91 turbo front brake calipers onto 91na hubs, do you need to change the brackets too? I believe the rotors are the same size for both and I thought the brakets were the same also but I need to be sure.

Thanks

The turbo brackets are a little bigger i do believe.

91, 92 trubo brakes are interchangeable with 91,92 na cars. no brackets needed.
the 93+ turbo brakes are the ones you'll need brackets for, if they are going in both 91, 92 turbo and na cars.

i would stick to using the brackets made for the caliper, it's designed for the pads/piston. so don't half ass it

Thanks for the reponses, guys.

If the brackets are interchangeable then how would using na brackets for turbo calipers be half assing it? It would only be a schlep job if the brackets were not interchangeable and you had to monkey with them to make them work. If the brackets are the same how could using one be better than using the other, Oteck? Or are you saying they are not interchangeable?

My opening sentence describes this thread perfectly.
