Integra front brake onto CX hatch?
Would i need any extra parts if i do only the front swapped? Im aware that i would need a 4040 proportioning valve and a 91 civic ex MC but would i need those if i only do the front for now?

You don't need those, but it's highly recommended. I'm running stock MC with 4040 prop valve with Integras all around. It brakes fine, but more pedal travel. I plan to upgrade the MC when I have the money.

Civic CX has drums in the rear disc in the front..
the proportioning valve only tries to insure that the bias pressure between the front and rear are proportional to each other.. Hence the name "proportioning valve".. If you still have drums in the rear, I would run the stock master and stock valve.. When you finally step your game up and get the more appealing disc rear brakes, then you need to upgrade your valve and master as well since the rear brakes will take more fluid to operate correctly..
Your best bet for the master cyl and valve would be from a 1994-1995 DEL SOL V-TEC (1.6L B16 DOHC) some of them came factory without ABS and the master cylinder will bolt directly to your brake booster, whereas the integra master cylinder will not.
