I have a 95 CX hatch, with a 98 gsr motor. i recently bought a gsr one inch MC, from brewerhatch
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=877965

tomorrow im going to the junkyard to get a 95 integra SE 4 wheel disk setup, LCA's and all. the guy said i can have any hydraulics for 10 dollars a pop too

What compatibility issues am i going to have with this setup? Will the SE booster (which im assuming is the same as a LS) work well with/ better then the CX booster, in cunjunction with my GSR MC?

Also will i be able to grab the prop and use it?

Finally, im assuming i need civic SI brake cables? correct?

To do the Integra rear disk swap to an eg you need 92-95 Si brake lines, Brake cables, and proportioning value and any Integra rear disk 94-01 or Civic rear disk 92-95. every thing else can stay. If you do change the master out to the Gsr one I'm pretty sure you need the Gsr booster. I have Integra rear disk on my 96 hatch changed out the lines, cables, and proportioning value they work great.

yeah im doing a full swap tho, and i want to do it right, im getting my car ready for solo-d.

I want the bigger booster, the bigger MC, the correct proportion valve. I dont want to use the puny cx civic parts on big integra brakes...

I'm sure the booster will line up and bolt up fine... it's just not the one designed for that master... I'd recomend using the right one although it's not IMPERITIVE.

Also will i be able to grab the prop and use it?
Yes

Finally, im assuming i need civic SI brake cables? correct?

[b]No idea... I used the cables that came off the doner teg They work fine just didn't bolt up in all the spots they should've... but they work fine. [b]

Just some Info for the sake of info..

A. I used 93 Integra rear trailing arms for my rear disk conversion... they bolt up and work FINE... the only difference is some bushings... the LCA for the teg's have larger bushings as do the 90-93 RTA for tegs...
B. If you have a coupe... you can not use rear SI brake hoses... they don't fit. You can however use 93 integra rear brake hoses... they do fit

Good luck.

good info!

so is it safe to assume that any 94+ integra Brake booster will work with any 94+ integra Master Cyl?

NonovUrbizniz

All the one's I've seen are the same bolt pattern..

you just need to make sure it bolts up and seals properly... if that's the case it will work.

FYI junkyard brake parts aren't always the best idea... stuff goes bad when it sits outside. especially hydrolic items. sitting is the worst thing you can do to a car and it's parts.

Make sure you check ALL the bushings and ball joints etc before AND after installing everything...

And take it easy on the test drive.

i was figuring on auto-xing it as soon as i bolted the stuff up

Nah, i've got a energy suspension hyperflex kit that im going to put in also

in order to do the setup properly you will need the following

rear trailing arm assy off of a 94-95 civic ex w/abs, 92-95 civic si, 94-01 integra

e brake cables for any of the cars listed above

40/40 proportional valve (not required, i have seen people race without them) off of a 94+ integra without abs

you can use your stock civic brake lines just fine or upgrade to stainless lines for an integra

you cannot put a 94-01 integra ms on a civic bb unless it is off of a 94-95 civic ex with abs or 93-95 civic si. you must get a brake booster for that mc and you will need to re-flare the line because the rear fitting ont he GSR 1" mc is larger than a stock civic one

if you have any more questuions feel free to pm me

xerox445

kool, so i should be good to go then. I let you all know how it turns out tomorrow.

What tools am i going to need to get the whole brake swap off?

Sliced Beard

double inverted flaring tool

14mm,17mm,10mm,12mm phillips head screwdriver
(both wrenches and sockets)

set of flare nut wrences for use on brake lines so you do not strip them out

for those that have done the brake conversion. i just did mine last week and im having problems. after driving the car a few times around the block the rear brakes lock up. any idea what it could be? i changed the mc, booster and prop valve when i did the conversion.

Sliced Beard

you have problems with your brake lines

Non-ABS LS master Cylinder (90-93) and ABS GSR Brake booster will not work together. Clearances are not correct and when the LS Master Cyl. is bolted to the GSR Booster it pushes the pistion half way in on the Master Cyl.
So I am assuming the opposite would also give you problems.

In my EG I have a reman Nissin Master Cylinder/Brake booster for a 90 Integra LS.

I also have a GSR brake booster I could sell if you end up needing one.

More good info...but im not using any 90 - 93 parts at all....

all 94+ teg stuff. Anyone work for acura that can check part numbers on 94+ brake boosters?

xerox445

bump up!

Anyone have this setup? GSR MC with a Diff Booster?

I believe my booster is from a gsr at least thats what the person i bought it from told me. Im using it with a 15/16 mc which is this came on the RS models since it doesnt have ABS. My brakes work great except Im having problems with the rears locking up. Ill be changinf the calipers this week to see if thats the problem other than that everything bolted up fine to my eg.

prop valve issue mabey?

hmm, good, seeems as if any 94+ booster will work, im getting the stuff tomorrow!

NonovUrbizniz

OK... Called acura today and apparently you can't get RTA bushings... you can only buy the whole arm... SO... I'd stick with 94+ no matter what just so you have replacement options like Mugen.

xerox445

yup, never concidered LCA's other then 94+

We got the fronts, brake booster, MC, and prop valve today for 110 bucks, going back tomorrow for the rears.

How can I tell if my booster from an ABS model integra? I changed both my rears calipers with rebuilt ones and my brakes are still locking up. I dont know what could be cause this. Please help.

xerox445

has anyone used integra brake cables on a hatch? My friend said i should just take them, cut them shorter and "re-clamp" them on the right right length
