Clutch Master Cyl. replacement S13 - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Hey guys, got a question!

In the next few weeks I'm going to replace my clutch master and lines due to mine being old and likely bad.

Thing is...

I'm liking this Wilwood integral mc. [http://www.wilwood.com/MasterCylinde...emno=260-2636]

But, all the searches I've done are coming back with people using it in combination with an LS swap, which I will not be doing.

Is it overkill/underkill for a KA? That motor will come out eventually, but it'll be a while.

Also, is the 5/8 measurement the size of the reservoir?

The Wilwood piece just looks like a better part than the OEM replacements on other sites [http://www.frsport.com/Aisin-30610-7..._p_33309.html]

Thanks in advance. Sorry so noobish

I don't think there's any real reason to upgrade to the wilwood unit, however if you are looking for a small project, you could upgrade to z32 brakes and use the z32 bmc as an upgrade...

Don't you have to upgrade to a z32 BMC if you use Z32 brakes on a S13? I know on B15s and Z31s the stock BMC is more then enough to handle the Z32 brakes, but I thought I read that it was necessary to use a Z32 BMC on a S13.

As for the clutch master, just buy a 20$ clutch master from drivewire.com, get yourself a new slave while you are at it too and be done with it. There is no reason to spend that kind of money on a Wilwood unit.

OEM master will do just fine.
