Have anyone ever fitted the brakes off a Porsche Cayenne turbo into an ER34? Would love to hear the experience and what is required to fit them in.

Mounting brackets?

Discs - need to redrill holes or get a new set?

Brake master cylinder?

Wheel clearance? 18" offset 35 / 38 ok?

etc...

Cheers.

Done it a few times.

Custom billet adaptors, some minor modifications to the upright to clear the adaptors.

Rotors to suit.

Wheels are dependant on the size of the rotor you choose.

Master you need a 1 inch and a bias valve fitted to the rears

Risking, if I were to embark on the project, would you be able to set me up with the adapters? If not, who can get it done (website? email?)

Who makes the rotors to suit the calipers?

The rear bias valve is adjustable?

Appreciate some pointers and/or pics of this conversion.

the one thing i would check on before going ahead woth this project (providing everything else checks out) is how expensive replacement pads are for this style of caliper. I have heard some horror stories about seriously expensive pads for some of this more exotic hardware!!

actually porsche brakes can be had very cheaply.

Speciafically the cup car callipers.

The cup guys tend to replace them oftern and due to the ever increasing demand for affordable motorsport components the callipers are fairly cheap brand new so 2nd hand ones are really well priced.

For example if you pay more than $900 bucks for a second hand set of 997 cup car callipers you paid too much.

Pads new are roughly a grand for the 997 cup car calliper and they are pagids.

Not recommended for road going use though.

Just make sure the Cayenne calipers are not radial mount, if they are it makes the whole eercise too difficult.

Also, Risking makes a very good point, i have had that many sets of calipers and brakes setups and finally settled on my 4 pot Brembos simply because they have the best range of affordable brake pads. $1000 for brake pads is nose bleed stuff for most... err for me :D

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
