Update time and I've been busy buying parts for it
Final pieces for the oil cooler set up, pressure valve and a couple of meters of hose, thanks @[deleted] for the valve (y)
I decided I wanted to get some better brakes, so what happens when a Audi RS6 has a big smash.......
Well you buy the brakes of course! How does Brembo 8 pots with 365mm x 34mm 2 piece alloy centred discs with curved vain cooling sound! :eek::cool:
Not gonna lie there massive, this picture I found shows it best :ROFLMAO:
Compared to my old AP racing 4 pots they look monsterous
I'm getting custom brackets made as we speak, which will hopefully be ready in the next week or so. Just want to say a massive thanks to SLON for all his help and info as to how making them fit possible.
My mate Rob Twitchall helped out by working out the piston diameter force with goes from:
Coupe turbo caliper:
5100.93 mm2 per axle
To
Brembo 8 pot calipers:
11354.2 mm2 per axle
So almost double, the master cylinder size has also been worked out and will work just fine and the pedal modulation will be practically like standard.
To help balance the braking out I've bought brand new vectra vxr calipers and 290mm vented discs and I'll be using SLON's billet brackets, I've managed to buy DS2500 brake pads for the front, have to buy two sets of pads as each caliper holds 4 pads. I'm still trying to track down a sensible price DS2500 for the rear but cheapest I can find is £160.
The eagle eyed of you will notice I've also bought some forged Pistons with total seal piston rings, I'm yet undecided whether to use the total seal rings as I've heard many a bad thing about them, great compression but often cause oil issues which lead to a smoking engine.
And finally, I've bought some more R888's this time in 225/40/R18 as that is the minimum size wheel I can use with the brakes so I will be getting some more track wheels in the next few weeks hopefully
