I bought and used Alpha Omega for track days.  I'm really happy with them - stock master cylinder too.

 

They pull up so well I have to use travel sick tablets now while on the track !!

The design is so strong, no way they break.  I did all the research into BBK etc other brands but have heard of evo track guys going back to their stock brakes after BBK upgrades

Is this for your S13? I would just personally go R33/34 GT-R Brembos all round and call it a day.. just good pads, good ducting and of course good rotors!

 

I'm running r33 brembo setup on the sil80 with project mu pads & rotors and works well, is consistent after big stops coming into turn 3 at Queensland raceway and they have performed well at smaller tracks and gil climbs. A mate has the AO evo setup and can only run 18inch wheels where I'm using r33 gtr wheels still. 

If you upgrade to a bm57 master cylinder get an abs version and drill and tap the 3rd port out much cheaper than buying a non abs version. 

Yep for the Sil, I already have a BM50 and just a line split and it's never leaked or caused issues. Jury is out on whether 57 is even required. I don't need my brakes to be ultra sensitive as I heel toe and like a progressive pedal. 

If I recall correctly, rear Brembo's don't bolt on directly? But I have read so much shit and can't remember now. 

I was looking at Evo up front as I could grab some calipers, adapters, pads and rotors for $600 - just the 320mm rotors. They seem to be consistently cheaper than GT-R Brembos and look to be a better caliper with a bigger pad area.

I'm too caught up in the engine build at the moment anyway. 

Do GT-R rears go straight on? Would be nice to have a direct bolt on option, no adapters etc. 

 

 

 

R34 need to drill hub to 14mm, R33 bolts up.

Rears bolt up but you need the handbrake assemble which also bolts up.

Just need to make a plate for the handbrake cables or buy one pre made and bolt that up too.

If you don't need the handbrake assemble then the rear calipers bolt up easy.

Front Brembo wise, you can find 350Z ones cheaper than GT-R ones but you will need to run 350Z rotors as the offset is different. Calipers are identical (besides the offset), pads are too (DB1520 or IN1520 in Intima). Just need to drill the hubs out to 14mm and use R34 GT-t caliper bolts as the 350Z ones are too long.

the r32/33 brembo bolt straight up , just need shorter bolts for the fronts.  i've read a certain rear subaru brembo caliper bolts up on the rear. Another option is 324mm rotor with your current calipers using a good quality rotor & pad combo. It may be easier for you to buy a bbk and test different pads.

Need to use a washer to space it out a little.

Better off with just GTS-t twin pot rears, less dicking around and cheaper.

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
