I got a '90 GTU and i'll like to do a turbo brake conversion.

I was hoping to buy from one of those online places where I'll get a refund for returning my old calipers. I went to www.replacement.autopartswarehouse.com , entered my yr, make, model, and turbo since I want to convert to turbo calipers, but they output tones of calipers under result.

Can some one point me to the right part number for the rear calipers? Or an alternative online store with cheaper pricing? I dont want to pay for the wrong pieces.

Thanks!

 

To get your core charge back, you are supposed to return the same part that you bought. Returning non-turbo calipers won't get a core charge back for turbo calipers. However, they might not notice.

My dad had a 73 Triumph GT6 MkIII, and an Izuzu Trooper (I think) starter bolts right up, is more reliable and more powerful, so he swapped it. When he returned the Triumph core, they looked up the value, it was about $20, compared to about $100 or so for the Izuzu, but the guy entered it as a straight core return anyway. So they might accept it as a straight return, but you can probably at least get a core charge back for the one you're returning, even if it's not the same.

 

The rear calipers do look very similar. At least from what I can tell in the pictures. I'll let you guys know what happens

But for now, I need to get the exact part number for the turbo calipers. I doubt the guys at the online stores know theres a difference for the FC calipers. I trust you guys here more than then to give me the correct part number.

 

Why dont you just get a set of used TII calipers.

 

If I do find a rear pair, I would. I've bought the front pair form someone here already, but I've been having problems locating the rear pair.

I was just thinking if I got them form the online store, they will come clean and completely rebuild; if I get a used pair, I'll have to buy the rebuild kit and rebuild them. I've never rebuild calipers before, so I might have to spend even more to have them done.

Thats why I'm leaning more towards a rebuilt pair from the store now.
