Ain't you done yet!
Hello All,
Like a lot of you I have cobbled brakes together. Mine, Fj40, 4 wheel discs with V6 4-runner calipers up front and Monte Carlo's in the rear. I'm using a fj80 non ABS master cylinder mated to a mini truck power booster. And there lies my question. How much boost is enough. I've been running this set up for years, but I've never thought it was working as it should. Ten years ago I think things felt to touchy. Very sensitive. Now, not so much. It stops good, but I couldn't lock them up if I wanted to. Ive done some of the tests that ive read about on the booster, and It seems good, just not enough.
What booster's do any of you use with this application? I just don't think it's an adjustment issue. I also didn't think that residual valves helped either. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
aw
