94 civic ex possible 1" master cylinders swap
Hey to all,
I'm new to this forum but not to honda. I was wondering if someone could shed some light in my findings as i was in search for a brake booster and master cylinder for my civic big brake upgrades. So here goes:
I was at my local junkyard and was in search for the parts i needed for my upgrade.
I found a couple of 94 and up integras along with 92-95 civic sedans with rear disks also. most of the integras boosters and master cylinders where gone and the civics where exposed to water. as i got curious and wondered around an 96 accord and checked the booster to find out it had a 290-v and an 1" master cylinder. the only difference between the 15/16 and the accords 1" was where the brake lines bolt into on the right side. so i got curious and bolted it up to an integra and bent the lines and can be used if you have the bigger bolt for it. So then right next to the accord was a 93 integra. I looked at the booster and it had the same booster as the accord did and it also had a 1" master cylinder. but the master cylinder had the brake line mountings on the left ideal for what i was looking for any way. What i did notice is that one of the brake line mounting hole did require a bigger nut in order to us it. And also all the cars i looked at had abs.
Now did the 92-93 integras equiped with abs have a 1'' master cylinder out of the factory or was that a rare find.

Well i have not found anything yet, but i did find a write up saying they used the brake lines from a 93 integra to use it in the gsr 1" mastercylinder. i'm going to check first the auto parts stores then the dealer. If anybody knows your input would help.

Re: 94 civic ex possible 1" master cylinders swap (ldazzzz)
Well it's true. 92-93 integras with abs have a 1" master cylinder and will bolt up to my car. all i need to do is to take the big nut that bolt the brake hard line to the master cylinder and buy a frare tool and redo the brake line. i'm doing this this weekend. just thought i'd let you you guys know. I will try to post pics of tf the master cylinder.
