Can u tell me everything you had to do to do the swap I have a b18a1 I want to put in my 97...

When u bleed the brakes does it have any pressure or squirt any brake fluid out of the bleeder valve after u pump them up a little bit

The real question is, DID they bleed the brakes to begin with?

Its brakes and not "breaks" which is too short of a title anyways, so Ill tweek it for you.

Whether or not youve done so yet, make sure you bleed the brakes at each wheel. If you didnt do so before then thats likely the culprit to your issue.

1.What does your clutch have to do with your brakes?
2. Nobody said anything about which type of clutch actuation you used.

A post was there but I deleted it. My fault. I deleted an off topic post from another user, "He probably put a cable clutch in changed the master cylinder and never bleed the brakes haha"
