Default EG brake upgrade with GSR brakes

hi guys i have searched but i was only able to find info about a 4 wheel disc swap on eg with a 40/40 prop valve, my question is
can i use the stock master cylinder ( 13/16ths) with a front brake disc from a gsr integra without changing the mc to the 15/16? because
in canada i believe we dont have the 1990-1991 honda civic sedan EX. and i dont wanna swap the 15/16 mc from an integra since i also need to change the booster
is it ok to run the stock 13/16?

Your brakes will still work with the 13/16 MC but it will take a longer stroke to make up for the smaller brake MC.
This means you will have to pedal down further to have the same clamping force. You might make up for that with more brake pad surface area but that kind of leads into a grey area...

Why not use the GSR master too?

ohh ic ic the thing is im trying to prep my car for track or auto x and im just worried my stock brakes wont be adequate for the application, im running a h22 swap and its about 190 whp and 160 trq tuned on hondata with bolt ons and ports/cams.
i was thnking of getting brembo blanks with some hawk hp pads or some agressive pads do you think running it stock would be enough? our main track here has about 2 straight aways and a dec radius turn at the end i just dont wanna lose my brakes coming in to that
corner and smashing into the wall.

I would start by finding out what the piston size is inside the stock caliper and the Integra caliper. Then make a decision from there.
