    master cylinder question

    I know that there are akebono and nissin brakes on cb's, but is there any difference in the master cylinder beyond being either abs or non abs? I need a new one and I was curious.

    I learned the hard way. There is a difference in sizes and stopping power.
    Search my posts for the exact info, but one of the fittings on the ABS M/C is a different size. For the Non abs M/C, they are both the same size.

    ABS M/C has more stopping power.

    30.0 MPG, AC on, aggressively driving around 90.
    27.5 MPG, no AC, cruising at 90 with occasional gridlock. 40 degrees Fahrenheit

      Nope

      To answer the question asked...

      I do not believe that there is a difference in master cylinders between nissin and akebono brakes and the master cylinder.

      I looked on majestic to see if they listed two for any accords and didn't find any. They usually list akemono or nissin if there is a separation.

      I am not 100% positive though.

      and yes, as you already knew there is a difference between abs, and non abs.

      Edit: and I don't know remember if we can run a prelude BMC, I think somewhere in this forum you can find a thread on that, if I remember correctly it has a larger diameter, and hence displaces more fluid (theoretically more force to stop) you may even be able to run a larger brake booster. Anyway I mention this just so you know. I have OK tires, and ebc green pads, and I can lock all 4 wheels (I have 4 disc and 40/40 prop vale) at 20mph with my setup. So no need for better anything until I get better tires.

        i'll look into the prelude setup, it might be worth it if i can find one for a decent price. I also need to swap a brake rotor, ugh. I'm not looking forward to that.

          What's the size difference between the ABS and non ABS MC's? Isn't the ABS MC a larger diameter? If so, then it does not have more stopping power, it has less. It is larger to aid with the additional volume flow the ABS system needs and to reduce pedal travel. Displacing more fluid does not just = more stopping power, that is wrong.

          You do need to specify whether you have a ABS or non-ABS car though, the masters are in fact different.
