Ive put my mates car together with R1 carbs on a c2oxe and after bleeding the brakes 3 times with no air coming out the 3rd time round we're still getn no brakes. When the engines off the brake pedal is soft and when the engines on the pedal can travel right to the floor doing very little braking, my mate said he had trouble before as he has v6 brakes on the front of his corsa and the corsas braking system would just cope with them but not as bad as this, theres a vaccum pipe off one of the inlet manifold branches an another pipe on the carbs connected to a one way valve connected to the brake servo. Anyone had this problem and know its cure?

Did they work before the carbs went on?
Soft when engines off.......master cylinder?

I would change back to standard brakes and see if you can get the servo issue sorted first. Sounds like you're not getting a proper vacuum, compounded by the larger calipers.

Don`t bother trying GSI master cylinder, same size, just has a different spring on the piston for ABS.
