EF big brakes a different way
 

I got these RX7 4 piston aluminum calipers off of Ebay for $23... Cleaned em up , ground off the ""mazda" painted them red to make em look Brembo Baller.

The spindls are from a 90 integra the pic was with stock rotors..

But I also found that a redrilled Sentra SER SPec V will fit the spindle with no clearence issues...

not sure if I am gonna go with the integra rotors or the spec V rotors (3 times the cost)

Next up I am going to make an adapter from some 1/4" plate using the plasma..

these are going on an 89 Si I am building for the GRM $2008 Challenge

Between the 2 integra rotors , Spindles and RX7 calipers I have less than $60 in the entire front setup...

so those calipers bolt right up?

Re: EF big brakes a different way
 

I bought supra calipers to do this exact same thing. I haven't found any larger rotors though that fit.

Re: EF big brakes a different way
 

Good work mate , definately something to use in the future :6

Re: EF big brakes a different way
 

definatly a nice setup ;D

Re: EF big brakes a different way
 

No , they don't bolt up , I am gonna make an adaptor out of some plate 1/4" steel using plasma.

still don't know if it's gonna work out..

If not I will just sell the calipers.. no huge loss...

Re: EF big brakes a different way
 

nice something i might have to consider ;D i got the DA spindles on my EF and 2 piston calipers on the cheap would be nice little up grade

Re: EF big brakes a different way
 

their 4 piston!!!

Re: EF big brakes a different way
 

judging by the area that the caliper covers (or doesn't) looks liek I am gonna have to use Spec V rotors..

Re: EF big brakes a different way
 

here is an easier way and be safe while doing this..

all you need are any bigger factory HONDA/ACURA caliper and pick what rotors you want to use.. it will save you machineing time and headaches

This is for the GRM $2008 Challenge... I can only spend $2008 on the car...

what rotors does tha kit use?? i may be able to mix / match bastardize some stuff..

2 RX7 calipers weigh the same as one integra caliper.

Re: EF big brakes a different way
 

any 11" rotor. you can buy there's fairly cheap aswell im pretty sure. just loose the reciept..

Re: EF big brakes a different way
 

you might want to look into getting a bigger MC using those 4 piston units. Cool project though.

Re: EF big brakes a different way
 

Apperently I need to use a 11" rotor for those calipers ..I am gonna look into a set of corrado G60 rotors tomorrow..

started working onthe D1z6 turd pile...

no idea on mileage , gonna dis-assemble it completley , have it cleaned and checked out.. drop in some vitara's and yadda yadda yadda.. same as most other D series builds.

Re: EF big brakes a different way
 

prelude v-tec calipers, brackets and pads, integra rotors and a 3mm spacer between the rotor and hub. more brakes than an EF needs. and no fab work ;)

Re: EF big brakes a different way
 

+1. If you could find some, some Legend Type-2 calipers are even an upgrade for 4th gen Pigludes, would be way more than enough for your car. :6

Re: EF big brakes a different way
 

thats a pretty cool idea.

Re: EF big brakes a different way
 

i was thinking of doing the same thing with some vr4 calipers, or possibly toyota tacoma. both are 4 piston
