Ok I've gotten like ~20 PMs/Emails on this so I figure this is the easiet way to answer this.

The Cusco MC brace you see here is a JDM EG6 MC brace from Walee at Mach 3 (www.machiii.net). It was around $50-$60 dollars and it took a while to get, as he had to import it for me . . .

In order for it to work you need the 1998 and up Integra MC and booster (1994-1997 will *not* work). You also need to relocate the top hardline so that it routes up the right side of the MC, as opposed to it's original routing on the left side. This is simple to do, you just disconnect it from the MC and re-bend it. Notice in this pic the line runs down the right side of the MC:



As opposed to the OEM routing (for all 98+ Teg's) here:

**Anyone have a pic of Stock R/98+ Integ MC??**

Very simple mod, but not for the faint of heart, or hand. But the gains, well they are well worth it . . .

(From my earlier description)

it's awesome!!
Go sit in your car and pump the brakes with the motor off. Feel how stiff the pedal is?

Now turn the car on and pump the brakes . . . feel how soft it got?

My car feels the same with the car on or off. There is now no flex *anywhere* in the brake system. MC brace and SS lines, I can feel the friction of the pads against the rotos as I stop . . .

And brake responsivness, simply amazing . .

Thanks JEff!

 

Thanks Jeff.

But before I'd go moving brake lines and such, I'll make my own up.

 

what is the difference between the jdm dc2 and eg6 braces? the reason i'm asking is because i have the dc2 one and haven't been able to figure it out until i saw your post here...

 

Hmm, I wish they made neato parts like this for the BB6

 

I *suspect* the DC one won't work.

Reason is the EG MC is soo much smaller than the DC one. Thus I think when you reverse the MC from the JDM to the US chassis (going from the right tower to the left one) I don't think it will match up depth wise, but I'm 100% assuming here, I could be completely wrong . .

 

What is the difference between the 97 and 98 MC?

 

1997 ITR will work..
at least the 1997 ITR MC i used to have looked identical to that..

better question is why wont the 94-95 style GSR MC work?

 

I don't have a pic but the 94-97 Integra MC (possible not 97 R) is the Round MC, not the 'square' one.

This has the front hardline port coming out the top left side of the MC at a 45 degree angle - right where the Cusco MC brace needs to be . . .

 

good stuff guys. I just got off the phone with a guy from Mach3, he couldn't quite figure it out either. He said they make different units for the DC and EG chassis', but didn't know what the diff. is. I have the "round" style MC with the front hardline that comes out @ a 45degree angle toward the strut tower. I can see why the the brace pictured in this post won't work. But, will the DC one work??? Anyone have a pic. of the DC brace???
ALSO, is the '98+ DC MC a 1" size as opposed to the earlier DC mc of 15/16"?

 

Mike, at IPS, was going to try and find out what brace will work best on the ITR... Any news? Sounds like you got some potential customers chomping at the bit here, especially with VIR at the end of Feb.

 

The DC and EG brace is exactly the same....

 

hey drealgsr. i saw you last year in the futenma flight line car show. your car was sweet and you mentioned you got some teins for like 500 bucks. so did boost your car yet?

 

can someone explain to me what is involved in disconnecting and rebending the hard line? are there tools involved? heat? bare hands?

 

Please forgive my ignorance. I'm confused what Jeff actually did to his car. From what I gather, you replaced your stock Master Cylinder with a JDM EG6 (Civic Hatch?) MC...and used a Cusco MC Brace. This is what gave you better pedal feel?

I doubt this can be done on G2 Tegs (I have a 1991) but it sounds interesting.

I be turbo now and I have one of those blue Cusco brake thingies.. The Teins have been replaced by Zeal S6's.

 

Hey thats a nice TOy ya have there

 

Thank you Sir!! IM me your damn keitai bango again because I forgot to put it in my keitai last time! Did you guys start MiraiZ's F-MAX install yet?

 

Diggin' up an old post...

How hard is it to install? I've been meaning to install the one I have for a couple of weeks now.

I know the bolts to remove for the install, but can I just remove them, install the brace, and then tighten them up? Will the upper a-arm come loose when those bolts get removed?
