Default EK 5-Lug Conversion, Which Booster/Master Cylinder?

I am doing a 5-Lug conversion on my EK hatch, and I was wondering what brake booster and master cylinder to use. Will 2000 ITR booster and master cylinder work? Also anyone know what proportining valve to use?

itr one will work.
use a 99-00 si prop valve, its not NEEDED though. you can use your cx/dx one if you want.

Correct, ITR will work since it's 1", while the GSR MC is 15/16"

If you really want a 40/40 prop valve, they come on non-ABS 90-93 Integras and are pretty easy to find.

Sorry to revive this thread. But I put a JDM ITR master cylinder and ran into some problems. The first being that the hole for the brake lines were on the 'wrong' side so clearance was an issue. The worrysome part was that one of the line sizes were different. I was going to just pick up a USDM ITR one however I'm not sure how to resolve the different size brake line issue.

i did a gsr brake conversion on my ek, 4-lug not 5, and used a usdm mc and bb. i didn't run into any problems with the brake lines. i never swapped out my dx prop valve, no problems using it so far

In japan the pedal assembly is on the other side, hence the line not fitting.

Lol, the line *could* fit, however the actual fitting size , and even the brake line itself is larger on one of the lines. I'm wondering if the difference in line *size* is different on the USDM ITR one.
