So I'm doing a wire tuck, shaving the firewall, relocating the fuse box and battery in the cabin, and doing some custom brake lines to complete the project. I'm almost done with the brake lines, just have to cut and flare them into the proportioning valve. Let me know what you think.

 

Just so you guys know I've spent a total of about $25 to do these lines.

 

wow nice work. Could you tell me where u got the fittings and lines?

 

You get props for that. Looks pretty clean. Whats in line for the future?

 

Good stuff!

Are you going the full 9 and installing an adjustable prop valve in the cabin?

Or just moving the OEM unit out of sight?

 

Sweet! Im doing this in my Crx as well.

 

sweet.

what about running the passenger front on the other side of the firewall (behind the dash) and then entering the engine bay where it turns left and then a straight shot to the existing grommet at the wheel well? just thinking out loud.

greg, who has to (one way or another) re-run every brake line on his crx, and likes where this thread is going.

 

yea, always doit your self looks good .looks like your building full race apps. good luck, youll need it!

 

Thanks for the kind words fellas. I got all the lines at O'Reilly auto parts here in town. Its a local auto parts store so I'm sure an Autozone or PepBoys carries them to. They're 3/16" lines and they come with the fittings on them. I just moved the OEM proportioning valve in the cabin so it will be under the dash out of sight and out of mind. This is all a real bitch to do with bending all the lines and trying to get everything to fit right. Its all pretty looking but thats just because I had time to spare the real purpose for all this is to get everything out of the way so I can focus on my engine and make one sick street setup, all-motor of course

 

I like it! It's always good to see people with EF dedication...

 

wow very nice work man care to share your plan for the NA build?

 

These are the connections to the proportioning valve under the dash. I'm almost done I've got one of the last 2 connected just haven't taken a pic yet.

 

What do you use to bend the lines?

 

Local auto parts store will carry a tubing bender which is what I use. It has handles like a wrench.

 

that **** would be so hot if the lines were ss braided!!!, but its still hot!

Those lines are actually really easy to bend by hand also.

It looks to me like the majority of your bends were done by hand, no?

 

Wouldn't that crease the lines?

 

I did do a lot of the bends by hand. The worst part was flaring the ends. I'm hoping everything works alright.

 

Getting a perfect double flare with one of the flaring tools you can buy over the counter at your local parts store is nearly impossible.

I had to borrow my friends $300 flaring kit before I could get my flares to seal properly when running new ABS hardlines.

What I ended up doing later on in my project was measuring approximately how long each line needed to be and then buying the lines that are already flared with fittings on them. They come in like 6" increments and make the project infinitely easier. It's only a few bucks for each line, but it's worth it IMO.
