more Master Cylinder info by Chris (Rallyguy)
Mitsu 3000GT w/o ABS = 1.000 (same line config as Colt)
Mitsu Mirage w/ ABS = 1.0625 (same line config as Colt)
92 Galant 2wd w/ I think v6?(it was already removed at the junkyard) =
1.000" (same line config as Colt)
All of the above are drop in replacements for the Mirage/Colt
Note to those changing. A bigger M/C just moves more fluid, but
actually gives less pressure at the caliper given the same input pressure
from your leg relative to a smaller master cyl. However, upgrading to a
larger caliper configuration means you have a requirement to move more
fluid into the caliper and thus there is a larger surface upon which to
have the fluid apply pressure, thus higher clamping given equal force
relative to a stock caliper. But, to get equal force, you need a bigger
master cylinder. Too big is not always good. Too big and you will
have minimal pedal movement, and limited clamping force.
