PaulStarletSR Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 So youre sayin that changin really old brake fluid to new makes a difference?ive always wondered if it did, thank fuck youve told us though because I always feared my SR Turbo would lose a few bhp if I changed the fluid! :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 yeah big difference as the fluid absorbs water over time which diminishes the fluids high boiling point properties. Under hard breaking I no longer get "spongy" brakes.as for the bhp loss/gain I havent got a clue on exact figures but im sure u have an idea really and your just messing.

daniel_g Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 See if you had changed the fluid before you went on the dyno Mikey youd have made a few more ponies!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulStarletSR Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 If you were a skilled driver, you wouldnt have to use 'hard braking' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 never been a skilled driver,just a normal driver hence why I brake hard and accelerate hard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
