If you use 94+ Integra RS master cylinder it will bolt right in without bending any brake lines. Gsr, LS, or GS you have to bend one line.

Basically you remove the 4 nuts holding the booster to the firewall. The are located uner the dash and are quite difficult to get to. Use open ended wrenches if possible. Once those are removed, you must take out the cotter pin holding the brake 'pedal' to the booster. Then just remove the MC/Booster aseembly and lastly replace it with the integra one in reverse order.

This is are rudementary instructions but should get you started.

It can be done, yes. You'll just have to bend brake lines which sucks badly. Use a 91 Civic 4 door EX master cylinder...bolts right in.

If you're changing the booster, be prepared to take out your intake manifold.

Yes but you will have to bend your brake lines a bit because they won't match up with the fitting exactly. Plus I believe that the ABS fitting is bigger on the gsr so you will have to flare your existing fitting.

thanks for the help guys.
yes the 95 civic 4door ex does have ABS.

so would i use the 94+ gsr brake booster and MC?..... bending lines is fine with me. do i need to upgrade my stock proporting valve?

Yes, an integra mc will not bolt up to a civic booster....you need the combo to make it work.

not necessarily, i know people with rear disks who run stock prop valve....it's recommended because it helps distribute brake load.

If I could make a suggestion, take a look at this thread. I did this swap and love it, you'll save money and time.

Warning though. It makes your brake booster less effective, meaning you have to step on the brake harder. I like it though, because I have a more direct feel.

This is not necessary. I just swapped in a MC/Booster from a RS. It was a tight fit but I was able to get it out without removing the IM.

it's best to use the proportioning valve that goes with the MC.
