AE86 proportional valves (brakes n shizno)

[Vance]

yeah but theyre illegal which is the problem. im gonna have to get one but am gonna hide it in a black plastic box

[n00bvak]

it is just the adjustment that makes them illegal, well here in WA anyway. If you take the adjustment knob off them (it just comes off) and heat shrink some plastic on it then it is non adjustable therfore legal.

This is what the guys at a performance brake place have been doing for years and registration has never been a problem.

well thats what ill do smart guy


seriously though, thanks for that info

you can buy in like proportioning valves from American speed shops. for disc or drum.

Rthy, this is how we have resolved "blocking the front fluid getting into the rear" issue

[rthy]

im aware of how how the adjustable pv works was thinking for getting the adjustable prop valve, but didnt like the idea of having aftermarket pv's when the car can be stock as a rock.

so it safe to say no one has tried modifying the factory pv in away to block the additonal patchway to the rear.

my plan b was to get one from america or europe.

edit: first post fixed, want to use factory PV and not aftermarket ones.

Whats all the fuss about?

You know what parts to use to make it as it should be, so just get them.

Looks like no ones gonna explain it to you.

I bought a halfcut to get my bias valves and a low klm gearbox from it. In the end I was paid to get them.

[rthy]

the fuss is: has anyone modded the factory ADM proportional valves to suit JDM rear disk brakes? more to the point, has anyone cut an ADM pv in half and welded shut the connections between the Front and rear brakes?

I assume not.

maybe my 1st few posts wasn't clear on my intention, appologies for the confusions...
looks like ill just do things the right way and get the jdm 2piece pv.

cheers

Well plenty of people mod them, by leaving out the spring, but I have a feeling its part of the tandem circuit failsafe that stops you losing all your brakes when one corner goes.

Best to use what Toyota has designed for the job, failing that, the aftermarket gear which you aren't so keen on.

Have a nice day.

Found one of those rear brake T piece on the diff

tried using it for the front brakes and the jdm pv to control the rear. the brakes work great now.

made a small alloy bracket and bolted it to the factory location so that the splitter is not floating around

factory adm pv


altho would still be interested to see if anyone has hackeds up the adm pv...

dont have anything agasint the adjustable pv, i just want to keep the car stockish, as for the ae71 dont really care cos its all going to be engineered.
