Default HELP!!!! integra brake upgrade master cylinder problems...

so i have a 91 civic hatch back that i dropped in a 90 b18a1 and the integra's front and rear brakes, and suspension....
problem being is that the integra master cylinder is 45 degrees off.. and the vacuum chamber (i think thats what that black thing around it is called...) doesn't fit where the civic one did...
what should i do to fix the sloppy brakes...
i was thinking that a 91 civic si master cylinder (with the disk brakes) would be larger than the dx one... is this true?
also i kept the civic proportioning valve. Should i change it over do the integra proportioning valve or should i leave it?
thanks to anyone in advance

get the Teg proportioning valve,

Also did the Car you got the MC and brake booster...did it have ABS brakes??

If it did you cannot bolt in those. you would have to make sure you got the NON ABS models.

the teg was non abs. and how much of a difference would that make because i would still be pushing only a small portion of the brake fluid that the integra master cylinder displaces

The "vacuum chamber" you are talking about is the booster. You cannot use a Integra MC on a Civic booster. You must switch to the Integra booster. As Kryogen was saying that make sure that the Integra booster IS NOT ABS, it must be a NON ABS BOOSTER. If you don't want to switch out the booster you can use a MC from a 90-91 4dr EX (it must be and EX) and this will bolt on to the current booster you have and it is bigger than your current MC.

I'll fit but have to use both MC and BB.
And for the PP Valve, you be better with a 40/40 valve.
Teg PP Valve.
