Default Bottom feed brake master for s13?

Such a thing???

Or do they sell modded ones? Problem is I just installed the new turbo, heated upthe brake lines boiled over the. Caught fire. So I've done some searching and I can't find anything. I need a brake master cyclinder that the lines run into the bottom instead of the right side...... I've ran the google's with no prevail.

Find one from a Silvia of the same style. They have ports that enter on the opposite (left) side.

And heat wrap and turbo blankets are cheap insurance especially if we're talking about fires.

lol no heat shield didnt think i needed one. "ah itll be all good doesnt get hot enough" well it did, hot enough to flash the brake fluid.

i intend on getting the steel braided/wrapped brakeline, then heat wrapping the down pipe. should i run a shield also?

epstein- so you say a silvia part, as in one from a right hand drive?

One of those bent metal brake master shields would work fine alone, even with a stock master. The engine bay ambient will still be pretty high, but the radiant heat from the turbo/mani/dp will be blocked by the shield so the master won't get as hot.

Yes, the RHD cars had masters with ports on the opposite side as LHD cars.

I put a new mani on and there is atleast a half inch spacing differance. There is maybe .16 " space between the lines and dp.
Another option we have is to see if we can shift the motor over .50" or so
