Got my xmas present today!

























haha thanks Allon, (blackura).

These will be on my O6 TL AT this spring!

 

uhhh...........what?

 

nice present.....

 

there it is, I was going to PM you for the links..........very nice

 

haha allon sold these to you? i never knew he had em..

 

Thanks ! haha i was too excited, pressed enter by accident.

 

if you just glance at the picture it looks as if Rudolph crapped you some calipers....

 

I'm sure you know this, but those don't just "bolt on". You've achieved 1/2 your investment, you still need 6MT axles and spindles at a minimum.

I've seen that done before here, but noone has ever addressed if the MC's are the same as well. I figure the bias and pressure may be slightly different for the more sport oriented brake.

Good luck, post up your research findings.

 

haha ya he sold these to me.

ya its not a bolt on. I need to get rotor, knuckles, last part of the brake lines and new bearings that's pretty much it.
a member on this form did this conversion, i asked him b4 hand haha.

ya ...sigh... its only half of what is needed ..lol going to save up now and get some nice rotors and pads

 

checking my calendar........

Christmas? you can't open that yet!

 

Thats a nice xmas present

 

Are the knuckle mounting points for the caliper different between the stock & brembo calipers? Or is the only difference the size of the size of the caliper mounting bolts? 12 mm (stock) vs. 14 mm (brembo).

 

I remember hearing on the radio today is the first day of hanukkah... I think you'll need to be converting to Judaism to be opening those!

 

Very nice present!

 

Merry xmas my friend!!

my present will be here on thursday

 

Am I the only one who realized trancemission just pwned kennedy lol


Do I smell slotted drilled rotors and pads by rotora from excelerate

 

Don't you also need new rims? if you are running stock 06 TL AT rims?

 

He needs new rims period to show those bad boys off!

LOL @ Kennedy almost putting coal in your stocking until your "hairy godfather" Trance saved the day!

 

nah, the stock rims clear it... its the same wheels as the 6MT

 

Well, if you by "pwned", you mean transmission posted a link by psheu, who has done this conversion, in which he restated exactly what I said about the rest of the required parts...

psheu also states you DO NOT needed to swap the MC. That's great news for those wanting to do the swap.

My concern was based on personal history. In 2006 Harley introduced Brembo as thier OEM brake manufacturer as well. I went to upgrade the calipers/rotors on my V-rod, and found the "hay's" master cylinders didn't work as well with the Brembos. The Mast Cyl's push only so much fluid through the mechanism during a stroke (brake application), and this volume was not enough to properly effect the larger diameter of the Brenbo pistons. The result was a much longer "throw" of the brake levers to effect the same braking pressures. I promptly upgraded the MC's to fix the valving differential.

Acura, being more complicated with this concern AND the concern of ABS/VSA, I would have assumed they would have used a higher flowing MC's to match the larger pistons, and possibly a different VSA/ABS controller (probably just programming difference) due to this different valving. A proper brake upgrade accounts for the valving difference in the calipers, the bias difference between front and rear, and the ABS implications (abs is usually "backed off" a bit as to prevent it from coming on so often).

I just looked up the parts (Mast Cyl, and VSA controller), and they seem to be the same across the 6MT/5AT - so my concern is moot.

What that tells me is that 5AT calipers have identical internal dimensions as the 6MT (the pistons are the same size). All the brembos give you is a slightly larger swept area (slightly bigger rotors and pads), more aggressive pads (bite), and a cool look.

Either way, good luck with the mod. My concern was geniunely focused on technical concerns of this upgrade, which I have never seen discussed here. Most folks seem to think if it bolts on, it works. That's not always the case, but luckily, in this case it seems to be.

I guess I'm pwned...

 

haha thanks man!
what's ur present? lol TEINS?

haha i DO need bigger rims to show off !!! lol

 

lol yes u do smell slotted+drilled rotor and pads by rotora ! lol i'll get them when spring comes !

 

I had these installed as a factory option.

CAUSE I HAVE A 6MT

ha.hahahahaha... just joking; have fun with the install - get some dust-free(ish) pads!
