1986 Porsche 944T – Brembo Caliper Rebuild – Part 1

Long story short, buying a brand new Big Brake Kit is less than half the price of rebuilding vintage calipers. However, if you are like me and made the same mistake, or if you are one of those hardcore Porsche owners who won’t accept aftermarket parts, then follow along with us in this video about how we rebuilt 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo Brembo 4-Piston Brake Calipers. (Apologies for the bad audio quality, my CNC business was running in the background the whole time.) Stay tuned for more videos coming soon!

The Porsche 944 is a sports car manufactured by German automobile manufacturer Porsche from 1982 to 1991. A front-engine, rear-wheel drive mid-level model based on the 924 platform, the 944 was available in coupé or cabriolet body styles, with either naturally aspirated or turbocharged engines.

The LS based small-block engine is the primary V-8 used in General Motors’ line of rear-wheel-drive cars and trucks. Introduced in January 1995, it is a “clean sheet” design with only rod bearings, lifters, and bore spacing in common with the longstanding Chevrolet small block V8 that preceded it as the basis for GM small-block V8s. The basic LS variations use cast iron blocks, while performance editions are all aluminum with cast iron cylinder liners. The LS small-block has been manufactured in three Generations – III, IV, and V – with preceding Generations I and II of modular GM small-block engines having been based on the Chevrolet small-block V8 originally designed in 1955. GM recycled the “LT” designation beginning with the LS Generation V “LT1” in 2014.
