thats why i trust motion, they take the engineering the extra mile to get it correct the first time . theyre not a bunch of CNC jockeys , they are races and know how to properly build parts to work and be safe
In the future here, but for 20 bucks you can get a bench bleed kit form your local parts store. Keeps the mess down and you can see when the bubbles clear.
Y'all need some transfer punches instead of sharpie marks. They will also give you a nice mark for your drill bit to start on. More rpm for the drill press on them smaller drills! Loving the Blazer build!
I see these kits only go back to 1988. I have an 82. I have 6 piston front calipers and will be going to 4 spiton rear calipers soon. I want to upgrade the master cylinder. Will the kit for first gen still work?
Any way to retain the factory brake switch? Or is there an aftermarket alternative? Just installed this on a 94 4.3 no brake lights and no way to re attach the factory brake switch on the pedal after doing this conversion
Forever waitin on Doug to come out with a 88-94 obs Chevy lightweight race column!!! I wish there was more to offer as far as direct bolt in parts for those trucks. like manual steering conversion & manual brakes. I ended up making my own manual brake setup deal but I still got power steering.. I’d like to do away with it. ideally I’d rather have just alternator only being driven by the belt. cause I plan on going electric water pump
Thank you for sharing guys. My first ever car/truck was a 1993 s10. I payed 10 grand cash for it at the age of 15. I would mow yards and saved all the cash I made to buy a truck. Thanks for sharing with us. God Bless.
Could I use this type of conversation with my 1998 chevy Blazer 4 door 4WD 4.3 motor?? This really has my attention Lol I'm trying to eliminate the big bulky brake booster these came with. LMK what you think and if not do you have any ideas 💡🤔 always love to learn new stuff plus I have a few friends probably be interested as well.
I've got a 2001 blazer xtreme and want to put a 350 with posi trac in it, sooo whats the best gear ratio to hav in it to drag? Thanks I love you guys's videos man
@@MotionRaceworksOfficial a few questions. When swapping from power to your manual kit do you need to use proportion valve? Also after I installed the manual master cylinder when I stand on brakes hard it cause them to stick for awhile then release on their own after a few minutes. Do I need to adjust pedal rod to fix that?
@@alexx9563 not at all, i did it with my full interior still in the truck (yk getting under them s10 dashes a pain in the ass) in a couple of hours total brakes bled and all.
I have 00' Blazer brakes on the front of mine that require 1/4in line. Is that the main difference between first and second gen? I don't see any info about this on your webpage.
It was said in the video 94 and up s- series. With a stiffening plate and some careful measurements it can be done on the 82-93 s-series. I would definitely suggest aftermarket disk all the way around to improve stopping power if you are going to manual brakes though.
Can anyone tell me exactly what the benefits would be with manual brakes vs power brakes? Im building a 94 s10 thats for the streets but its a corner carver. I have been shopping around for a new master cylinder as mine needs to be replaced. Im running a wilwood proportional valve to eliminate the abs. Would manual brakes work better?
Is the engine modified? The biggest reason to go to manual brakes is if you are running an aggressive camshaft or boost( ie turbo or blower). Engine vacuum is diminished with turbo/blower or aggressive camshafts.
@@BigNastyOffroad the engines gonna be fully built stroked LS. Forged internals. Very mild camshaft though not much chop to it to keep it quiet and tame. My guess with the displacement 550ish horsepower give or take. All motor for now. Big 6 piston front brakes with 14 in rotors up front not sure if that matters.
I would say that I have seen people stay with power brakes in some S10 pick ups for roadcourse use and have not had problems especially with the brake upgrades you've already done. I have a 91 ext cab 2wd S10 working on collecting the parts for the drivetrain right now. I am going for a street/strip setup and if I can't build the vacuum for power brakes there is always a vacuum pump. The assist with power brakes is nice for a street driven truck but pure track driving manual with big brakes all day
@@BigNastyOffroad thank you much appreciated. Im switching to disc brakes in the rear and wasn’t sure what i should use for the master cylinder already needs to be replaced as it leaks anyway.
@@mjrartist69 manual has better pedal feel and always feels the same so your braking is more consistent. Power is fine if you don’t care about all that and just want the easiest possible braking
If you have an s10, you basically can not do this without removing the entire dash…. Unless… you cut your fire wall up a shit ton like me….. I absolutely regret buying this kit and hearing you say “oh I think you can do it without removing your dash….
