Why not just get a 1' booster from the GS/GSR? Your brake lines are probably old and making the soft/spongy feel too.

A bigger master cylinder without any increase in piston bore or quantity at the caliper will just cause your tires to lock up faster. You will lose control of the ability to fine tune your braking. Now IF you upgrade to a Legend setup (or ITR or whatever), then the increased master cylinder diameter would be beneficial. Not trying to always doubt you Matty, just saying what I know. In this case, it's simple hydraulics. Upgrading to stainless lines would be a MUCH better idea.

New England I think, I can't remember off hand, there's vids on You Tube.

I can't wait to push my 16G into 11s. I might even add some giggle juice and push it into the 10s if possible lol.

bottles are for babies lol

as for the brake debate... i have the 1" master/booster setup and my brakes feel a lot better and i do not have any problem with them locking up faster. only issue i have with locking up is from having one brand new caliper on the pass. side and the old one on the driver side cuz i havent changed it yet. the new one grabs a lil better to say the least lol. i really wanna get some braided lines in the very near future though but ive gotta get tires first

yeah im doing legend calipers so im not worried about having too much brake power. i have stock rubber lines but the reason for the soft pedal is cause i have an eg booster and mc on the car now. the original one was leaking bad and i found this in the jy for cheap. big mistake cause the pedal almost goes to the floor even after bleeding a couple times. i found an awsome deal on the itr setup and my bro is trading me my da calipers for his eg and giving me the legends for free. hes also giving me his mint em1 si wheels for 200 with tires. they are the older falken azenas with a couple of minor flat spots from the track. im about to tear the car down for the winter so i can paint the engine bay cbp to get ready to paint the whole car cbp eventually when i have some money for it. im going to do the bay for now cause the winter time is when ill have the most time to get it done. i might even start this weekend on the tear down. i have to clean up my basement first so i can store the parts neatly. does anybody know the color code for captive blue pearl? im also in the market for a front bumper too. i need one in good shape and with the grille in tact. the ******* previous owner cut it all out and i decided im not going turbo cause i want it to be reliable on my budget for the track next year.

You do know all the RS/LS/GS/GSR brake rotor/pads are all the same size, so I don't see how this can be bad. That's like already saying the GS/GSR will brake worse than the RS/LS minus ABS on the GS/GSR. I have the ABS disabled on my GS and I've never locked up. On AutoX i've locked up a few times on purpose to sort of warm up my pads. It's all about pedal control son.

It's cool a lot of people doubt my opinions, but I'm still going to keep giving my ideas and opinions

Yes I know that and that's exactly my point! And that's not what I'm saying at all. Let me give a quick lesson in physics. The 1" master has a bigger bore because there is more fluid in the brake system in an ABS Integra (ie more lines and components to fill). So, the bigger bore is to compensate by moving more fluid. Now, if the 15/16" master didn't have enough diameter to apply enough force to lock up the fronts, then maybe an increased diameter would be in order. However, it can. The 15/16" will thus have a LONGER stroke than the 1". The system only holds so much fluid. By adding the bigger master to the stock setup, you've now effectively decreased your pedal travel which eliminates that "sweet spot" where you can manage a lock up situation. Now, if you increase the capacity of the system (ie increase the slave cylinder size, which are the calipers) then you NEED to increase the diameter of the master so that you can apply the correct amount of force. I'm willing to bet that the 60 to stop time of a a healthy stock system to that of the same system with a bigger master will be exactly the same if not better. Why on earth would Honda waste their money on having two different master cylinders if one had superior braking? The price to manufacture a 15/16" versus a 1" master cylinder would be practically null. Each master cylinder was selected based on the fluid requirements of the brake system and Honda engineers felt that the difference was enough that it necessitated the manufacture of two different masters. To summarize, the smaller master applies the same force over a greater distance than the bigger master. It called work, or force over a some distance. At the very best, a 1" master with stock brakes will be the same as the 15/16" but I would bet otherwise.

This can get into really in-depth here which a lot of people on this thread would not want to get into because they're about just putting on lips and dumping the car. Let's not get into the physics as much as the situation in real life. Too many variables will account on what your "sweet spot" is. In the situation of having a Non-ABS DA, I would get a brand new 15/16 HONDA OEM Master Cylinder with new remanufactured calipers, ss brake lines, rotors, and a good pad of your choice for your type of driving situation, and TIRES to match the braking power. A lot of people don't realize their tires are crappy, thus locking up more easier. If you want better brake feel(as in your foot pressing on the pedal with firm feeling and less effor),OEM Pad or close to specs, get new brake lines, new master cylinder with brakes bled correctly and making sure your actual brake pedal is adjusted and firm. Let's keep it simple for the simpletons here

I'm gonna type this real big so that the next 85 people who ask this question can see the answer.



Yes a 89 integra lip will fit a 92 bumper


If anyone else ask's this question no one tell them because it's been asked so many times that everyone who owns a Da should know by now
