Pro tip. Use a clear , smaller diameter hose so you can see the bubbles and when they stop. Waste less brake fluid that way 👌
Agreed, only had the black tubing in the garage 😫
0:47 sorry to nitpick here but this is good knowledge!
All liquids are incompressible (theoretically anyway), so oil and water and hydraulic fluid all act the same in a hydraulic system. The reason we hate water in brakes and why its seen as compressible is that it boils at a relatively low temperature and turns into water vapor, wich is very compressible and leads to that mushy pedal.
Best tutorial I've seen. Thanks for the info on the Motive brake bleeder tool. That will make my life way easier.
Man, 100%👍🏻 this is something I wanna do to my Subie. I’ve put these on my sport bike when I had it and WOW!!! What a difference. Great video my man!!!
Well worth the money and install 😍 gotta keep doing this forgotten mods!
Smeedia hell yeah
Want to throw out there, since all forums seem to be wrong with this information, when doing an 2015-2017 STi brake swap with the Brembo's, the bleeding order is very different.
According to the STIS Manual, the proper bleed order goes: Front R -> Front L -> Rear L -> Rear R. Always start with the inside first, to the outside since there's 2 bleeder valves per caliper.
I'm doing an STI Brembo swap on a 2011 WRX. Is this the same? I was under the impression I had to do Rear L, Rear Right, Front Left, Front Right because of the location of the ABS pump
@@atticus6 I'm not sure if it's the same for that model year.
I just followed the Subaru Tech manual (the way dealers do it), and that's the order it stated to do them in. I have the specific manual for my model year (2017).
Awesome video thank you man my friend told me it was difficult to do but after watching your video peace of cake thanks !
Super easy and straight forward and definitely worth the install 😁
Nice work as usual brother , I did this on my 2002 WRX and it went from no brake's to holy fck is this thing gonna stop , much better when used with M/C brace . The old style WRX brakes were totally inadequate , rotors are cheap and high quality fluid is a must .....keep bringing it !!
Huge difference in braking, that's how the BRZs brakes felt before getting into them 🔥 more on the way 🙌
ooouuuuu! this is the vid ive ben waiting for!
Super worth the install 🙌
I seriously don't know if you have a secret camera at my house or something, but you've been making videos in the order of the stuff I've been ordering in the past couple months..
It's starting to creep me out a bit! :D
My lines are being delivered tomorrow, so this is PERFECT!
I can see you through your phone 😉 ha kidding, glad the videos are coming out in an order which helps you! Just happen to be doing the same mods right now 😅
@@Smeedia Oh dude, it's beyond awesome.. I had ideas of doing the exact same thing, but I suck at the whole being on camera thing while doing the mods.. Hah!
It is making me feel a ton more confident about the choices I've made though, when I keep seeing the EXACT same parts I order you just show!
It means that I know the advice that I've been given from the tuner, my own intuition, and now this all fully lines up! I know I am doing things right! :)
I just threw this kit on a ‘22. They feel great.
Can't wait to do this on my FRS , very useful video
Well worth the swap! Makes. Noticable difference! 😁
@@Smeedia I'll shout you out when I end up doing the DIY
Awesome very helpful thank you so much
🙌🙌🙌
A vastly under rated modification especially if you upgrade engine output! Stainless steel brake lines rule which is why they come with big brake upgrade kits.
The under rated and most forgotten modifications are my favorites! They're so under valued when they make such a huge diffrence!
@@Smeedia One quick question if I may, not related to brakes but LCA. Which would you select JDM STI LCA (with their stiffer bushings) c/w JDM STI TOE ARMS or just Verus Engineering LCA alone keeping OEM toe arms? $$$$ are the same.
@@WRXMAN-ms2mm honestly I mean I love JDM parts and I know the ones your talking about but I would get the verus, you have more adjustability with them then you do the JDM LCAs i was in the same boat as you a few months ago
What do LCA’s do? What do toe arms do? Thanks! Specifically STI
@@mresab1997 If you Google it you will see that lower control arms control axle rotation. Typically on mass produced cars aftermarket offerings are superior to OEM. As top drawer ones are often machined from billet aluminum.
Nice. Always has stainless steel brake lines on my list but never went through with the purchase. Just paid for them!!!
Well worth it and such an easy install, after you get them in you'll notice a massive diffrence in the brake pedal feel 🔥
So do you take pressure off the system after each caliper and top up brake fluid so you dont introduce air into the system?
I've been procrastinating installing goodrich brakelines for 3 years now. I have the import brake fluid that comes in a blue metal container. I also have the motive power bleeder kit just for this job tbat I have not used yet.
Super worth it only takes about 2 hours total, very noticable difference in that brake pedal feel 🔥 plus the power bleeder makes it so easy
Piri, is it superblue fluid? I love that stuff, but it's illegal in the states, all because it is blue. Makes it easy for bleeding brakes due to the difference in color. I used to flip between blue and gold for that same reason.
Great vid. Does the power blender cap it comes with the proper one for the STi? Or did you have to get it serperate?
They're all the same across all platforms i believe, I have used this power bleed on the STI and BRZ samd cap fits both 😁
Hey dude is always appreciate your videos definitely going to be doing this sometime soon. Also thank you for letting me be a fanboy in Facebook lol #durkaBraun
Eyyyyyy! Anytime my guy, killing it with the support and glad the videos are helping!
Awesome as always. Do you know what size drain hose fits the nipple for the bleeding process? TIA!
I'm not sure on the DIA I shoved on whatever I had laying around 😅
can you do a video for caliper swaps for the wrx!
I can look into it 😁
With the lack of maintenance you've found on the BRZ. I'm thinking walnut intake cleaning is coming in the near future ? #DITLIFE
So once you are all done bleeding all the valves, to relieve pressure do you loosen up the pressure by taking the cap off of the reservoir or loosening up the cap on the power bleeder?
Loosen the cap on the master cylinder and that will relieve pressure
Is there any way to raise the gas pedal(move it towards the driver) on the sti? I have trouble heel toeing because my gas pedal is farther back than the brake pedal.
Versus engineering has a pedal adjuster that can move it closer to you and closer to the brake pedal, rally sport direct sells them and I believe the mod garage Carrie's them as well
Shim the pedal !
I know this is older video.. but for the sti, how many liters of brake fluid you need? And any recommendations on brand?
For a complete flush I got about 3 of thr smaller 500ml containers, and either OEM or motul 🙏
Sweet! Take'em to church...cant go fast if you cant stop. Any plans on a BBK?
On the BRZ I wanna swap over to some Wilwood Brakes, especially since I'm going to be Turbocharging the car. The brakes will need to step up just a little bit 😅
@@Smeedia ...my man..great minds think alike. I got all four corners covered in Wilwood. It has helped a great deal, and it is an essential piece of the puzzle. Im excited to see your project.
Water doesnt compress either (liquids really). You COULD use water for brake fluids, but the issue is the boiling point is MUCH lower than brake fluid.
Your right 😅 you can compress water slightly but significant pressure would be required but a braking system is no where near capable of generating enough pressure plus would only be a slight compression.
I am curious on how long you could drive using water as your fluid 🤣
@@Smeedia sounds like we need to get a junker and test it out!! In a closed course of course 😅
What size wrenches were you using???
I had same question..
What size is the flare nut wrench that you used?
10mm 🙏
IMPORTANT: Hey brotha man, I don't mean to be that dude but for your safety i have to be. Your front driver side brake line path is wrong. I know it might be tedious to go back and fix but I wanted to let you know for safety and so that your brake lines dont malfunction on you. Please compare the frame at 4:38 and frame 8:55. I caught this because I almost ran into the same issue when I installed these lines in my BRZ. Hope this helps
Easy fix to go back and do! Appreciate you pointing it out! Followed the same path as the OE Brake line but fir some reason it did not want to twist another way. Shouldn't take me longer than an hour or so to fix and re bleed. Thank you!
@@Smeedia I know what you mean about the twisting, I actually had to loosen and take off the line just to pre-twist it because of the bracket where it bolts to the suspension. It was a little bit of a challenge to get it right but since that little piece swivels and turns on the line it was easier than I thought.
@@adancisco the passenger side was a lot easier to get straight, regardless I appreciate you pointing it out so I can correct it!
@@Smeedia No problem brotha. I myself should keep recording the things I do with my Brz just to watch back in the future. Keep it up, ill be asking you questiongs and looking back at your vids when I get my STI
Whats the bleed order for the sti?
Off the top of my head I dont recall but I did a specific video for the bleeding order in the STI, I think it's like the 3rd video I uploaded 👀
How do I come across the brake line part number?? Amazon says they won't fit my 2020 sti .. rather ask a "dumb" question than assume something I shouldn't.
Should be the same part number, but you can also filter them on rally sports website
@@Smeedia gotcha... not at home with my car so cant reference much... sadly it's parked in the garage while I work out of state... but looking to get things for days off
Still dont get why people put the rotors backwards.
The rotors are on the correct direction 👀
@@Smeedia then i need to stop smoking the reefer lol
@@TheGeokaiser lol had me second guessing myself for a minute 😅 the rotors come labeled from stop tech for left and right thought I may have blazed past that for a minute 😅
@@Smeedia fucking hey dude lol!
Nice video. Definitely use a line wrench!!! And those aren't channel locks, they are vise grips. Keep up the great work. Nipple..... hehehe..... yes we are all 12 year old boys
No one can avoid the nipple 🤣
Water is compressible? 🤦🏻♂️
Under high pressure but not enough to be generated by a braking system
@@Smeedia nope. the thing thats special about hydraulic fluid is viscosity, lubrication, oxidization, and other things. liquids are all (effectively) incompressible. you could use water in your brakes and they would behave about the same, till the system rusted out or seized or overheated or something else.
Good point. The issue is that brake fluid has a high boiling point and will not turn to vapor under the heat generated from compression. It’s about temperature / cavitation, not compressibility.
bro liquid is not compressible. water does not compress.
You can compress water slightly but the braking system would not generate near enough force to compress it. But under normal situations and circumstances it is non compressible. Regardless I agree with the point 😅
