If you build a bigger one brake (266mm or 283mm) so will change the pedal travel. Clearly, the larger calipers have larger pistons. At the 266mm brake is the difference to hardly notice the 283mm brake the difference is somewhat larger and with a 4 piston Brembo brake system of the difference is extreme. I say extreme because my Peugeot 106 GTi without ABS comes from the factory and thus only a 20.6 mm master cylinder (brake master cylinder) and a 200mm BKV (brake booster) has. A Peugeot 106 S16 has a 22.2 mm master cylinder with ABS and a 225mm BKV.
But what does each part:
A master cylinder brings the brake fluid under pressure which moves the brake cylinder on the caliper and presses the brake lining on the brake disc.
Benefit: The greater a master cylinder is, the less one has to go to the brake pedal travel to braking action to achieve one. And, you can dispense better braking because the brake pedal travel is greater in the area.
Disadvantage: The brake pedal pressure increases. You must get stronger Tretten the accelerator.
A BKV supports the Padaldruck. This is done by the BKV is connected to the vacuum system. The membrane in the BKV is supportive of vacuum suction which supports the brake pedal pressure.
Benefit: The greater the BKV and thus the membrane, the easier it can be brakes. So we must have less pedal pressure to slow down.
Disadvantage: Is it too easy, the dosage is difficult. But this is used to it.
Here you see on the pictures is my conversion. I have the 22.2mm BKV from the Peugeot 106 S16 fitted with ABS. To increase you get does not have the 106, because under the splash guard is no more space. Would you Ausflexen this would be a little more secure as possible.
HBZ As I took a 23.8mm master cylinder from the Peugeot 406 3.0 V6. Important, as I drive without ABS, I need a master cylinder with 4 connections. These are diagonal to each wheel ABS with one only had 2 ports, which supply the ABS distribution. From there it then goes to each wheel
The combination of 23.8 mm and 22.2 mm HBZ BKV is just perfect.
Now we come to the brake balance. These Peugeot has installed a valve on the rear axle, which detects whether the car is loaded or not. The rocker springs at the rear on one is left simply more brake pressure to the rear brake. Is the car lowered by tuning, you have a problem. Valve says the car is loaded and leaves the rear brake fully without the burden really focus on this. As the car through lowering but never really rebound well, can the spring (it is the great of both) to expand easily. After all, the car comes loaded with so not really more profound. Now before you take the second spring and represents the balance so far, until it pleases. It is possible the rear making it very aggressively and are highly peaceable interpret, or completely neutral and only slightly supportive. The balance has me totally adjusted duch the installation of four piston Brembo brakes. Unfortunately, you can check the brake valve adjustment by authorized personnel only test drives.
Now the good for all 106 S16 driver with ABS. You have the problem. For, should block the rear wheels, controls the ABS. For all without ABS, it is normal to sporting Gentle braking at an intersection already blocking the rear wheels. How this affects the case of braking in a curve, each representing.
