Master Cylinder Upgrade
 
I was doing some quick research before settling on my brake swap. I have a 98' SC3, so it's a two bolt flange.

Noticed all Supras are two bolt flanges. However, it seems Supras up to 95' have the 1" bore while 96' - 98' has the 11/16" bore. So getting one from a 96' - 98' would practically make no difference. Again it was a quick search, not entirely sure if they are correct.

Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks!

Just planning down the road. Currently LS400 fronts and stock rears, may eventually go TT all around and want to make sure the master cylinder can move the extra fluid while correcting the brake bias.

Confirmed by Champion / Jay Marks Toyota, 93' - 95' TT has the larger bore while 96' - 98' has the smaller one.

Any of you 95' - 00' (2-bolt flange) guys should be able to use this master cylinder upgrade with little or no modifications as far as I'm aware. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Should work with 92' - 94' guys as long as you swap over the booster as well.

I plan on doing this down the road; I'll post up any information or mods required when I do.

I am currently running the TT master cylinder. I got it new from carson toyota. Did the upgrade while I did the LS swap so I cant tell you for sure how much of a difference it made by itself, but the car does stop on a dime I will tell you that much..

What year did the master come from?
Did the lines bolt right up or did you have to do some minor mods?

Thanks!
