i did a search on the topic of using an integra brake booster and master cylinder on an crx though i could not find any pictures of the extremities how much the rear hardline needs to be bent.

i was curious to see if it can be done to look like it was factory or if the bend is so extreme it sticks out like a soar thumb.

anyone who can help me with some visuals on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

 

you will only have te rebend if you use the ABS 1" master, you wont have to rebent the lines for the 15/16 you just need to tug on them a little to get them to line up

 

i should have mentioned i am interested in seeing one with an abs 1'' master cylinder found in a 94-01 integra.


thanks for your input

 

one line will bolt up but the other line is on the opposite side of the master so you might as well bend a complete line from the master to the proportioning valve, if done right you wont even notice, I think if you try and reuse the existing line it would have a weird bend in it and not look right, just go to the auto store and buy some line a bender and a flaring tool it would probably cost $20

WRONG INFO ALERT

I use a 90-93 Integra ABS 1inch master cylinder on my EF.

The rebending is if you try to use a 94+ Integra master cylinder, ABS or regular if I remember correctly.

The 90-93 unit just needed a tug.
I tried a 15/16 first then swapped to a 1inch. I liked the 15/16" better more control.
If you run a 1" you'll either need to cut off your old fitting and flare on a bigger one or do like I did and use an adaptor from 12mm to 10mm.

I searched high and low for the fitting but I couldn't find it. I bought a similar fitting and cut it down on my lathe. Works great.
I did figure out if you run a 15/16" cylinder and booster then swap to a 1" cylinder you'll need to change the booster too because I couldn't adjust out the difference in pushrod lenghts. I am running a ghetto spacer in my booster now to make it work. I have the ABS booster here I just hate to install it because it was such a bitch the first time.

 

thanks. still wish i could see some pics of it done though

 

Down hill test was conducted, 2 ppl in the car and 300lbs(thanx jenny craig) of random stuff in the engine bay. The car stops hard and fast and this is just on stock 90si stuff, so I cant wait to see what it feels like with the prelude/ITR stuff.

 

i use the 94 1 inch on my 90 crx, i had to remove the intake mani to get the booster on, and just so you know, on the 94 one inch, the stock crx line is too small (the flared fitting) i got a 94 integra line from the deal and had to run it from the prop valve 4040, to under the master cylinder, then up over the resivor and then to the hole. i sdid not have a flare tool to cut it and make it smaller but it works

Actually, the 94-01 integra non-abs 15/16" MCs/boosters will work without bending lines.

That is correct, I think he was just talking about the ABS units.

 

If you are going to use a 15/16 master, why not just use the 90-91 civic ex or 89 accord lxi master cylinder? Both will bolt directly to the stock booster and not require and line bending.
