cheekymonkey Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Could anyone in the know tell me how I would identify the brake line needed to cut into for installation of a line lock solenoid? I belive it's only able to switch one line, so this line would have to be the master cylinder for the front brakes only, if that makes sense. Not sure about braking systems so I probably won't be doing this myself, but I want to go to a garage armed with the right info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheekymonkey Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 Cheers - is that two lines though? Not totally sure what I am looking at. The kit I am getting can only lock one line I think! It's a hurst kit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 What linelock kit did you use Chris? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD3000GT Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Titan job.. think it was a hurst with some extra lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil tt Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Sorry, but if you are not sure which one to cut into, should you be doing it in the first place, we are talking about your brakes:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheekymonkey Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 Sorry, but if you are not sure which one to cut into, should you be doing it in the first place, we are talking about your brakes:) Totally agreed, that's kind of why I'm asking.

neil tt Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Okay, but would it not be less risky to get someone to do it for you. Some advise given on forums is not 100% correct:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some advise given on forums is not 100% correct:) I am trying to be extra careful by having some confidence that any garage I go to are going to do it properly. I'd actually trust a lot of guys on this forum a lot more than most garages around here when it comes to supra specific info - who wouldn't?

GazB Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Did you manage to get the fitment sorted? I've got a new Hurst kit and it says don't fit to systems with ABS Any help out there, pics would be nice on where to fix into which line without interfering with ABS system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheekymonkey Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 Hi Gaz I have also seen that warning, and seen it de-bunked on here a couple of times - I guess the Supra ABS unit is forgiving. In an ideal world we'd be able to tap the brake lines *after* the ABS actuator, but that would involve switching two separate brake lines, left hand side and right hand side - but the hurst model only has one solenoid. I plan to tap into the brake line at the master cylinder, underneath where you fill the brake fluid. The line at the back of the engine towards the firewall is the one for the front brakes (Don't take my word for it, I still need to confirm this). This will be blocking before the ABS unit, so in theory the ABS ECU could sense the brakes not releasing, and cause problems. Of course, pulling the ABS fuse would stop it from interfering in the worst case but I'd quite like to hear from knowledgeable sources on here.
