Default need help with brake swap , PLEASE!!!!!!!!

i just dropped a b16a3 into my 92 vx , while i was doin g the swap i fugured i should upgrade the brakes, so i got the complete front knuckles and brakes calipers and rotors off the del sol and directly bolted everything to my hatchback , then i went on to my rear brakes and again directly swapped everything in , after i was done i bled the brakes about 4 or 5 times and still wasnt getting very good pedal feel , and when i finally did i stared the car up and completely lost the brakes , i mean the pedal went dead to the floor , so i changed the masre cylinde and the booster with a direct replacent vx m/c and booster , the same thing happened so i figured the m/c and booster were just to weak for the bigger brakes and 4wheel disk , so i threw in a 92 integra gs m/c and booster and it got a little better but still dont feel as good as they should , does anyone know what the hell this is?and by the way i bled each setup SEVERAL times so there is NO air in the system

sorry, this is gonna suck for you, but it sounds like there is air in your brake lines somewhere...

how did you bleed the brakes?
