Am I able to swap a slave cylinder into my 89 CRX from say an ITR or prelude without changing the master cylinder?

Thanks guys

 

You will need to change the booster and the MC (Slave) from a non abs Integra.

 

whats considered the slave cylinder in the brake system?

isnt that the caliper???

If you want to keep the stock booster that is correct. I am saying to change out the entire booster and MC to a non-abs 260V. Or the ABS 290V however with this booster and MC combo you must change one fitting on the brake hard line.

 

Look at it this way..
The "Master" creates the pressure,
And the "Slave" gets the job done...

 

I thought generally the slave cylinder was the clutch deal, therefore we wouldn't have one (being cable clutch and all) amirite?

the guy is british. they use different language, words, blah blah.

hes just asking if you can swap in the ITR or prelude calipers without having to change the MC.

toad, you effed it all up!

 

Thanks for the replies guys, im not looking to change calipers or brake line im just wanting to know what is considered the easiest upgrade when it comes to the Master cylinder or slave cylinder swap out (i.e. the 2 parts in the engine bay). From the replies im guessing the 1990ish Civic EX slave cylinder will swap out with my CRX slave cylinder but will it perform any better?

Is the performance spec of master/slave cylinder decided on the weight of a car or the performance of the engine, or I guess a bit of both.

It seems I have 2 options, will it be best going with the Master/slave cylinder combo from the ITR (w/ no abs) or the slave cylinder form the Civic EX?

I would just go for a big brake kit but then I cant get 13/14inch wheels on for slicks so upgrading these parts I believe is the way to go. Can you let me know if Ive misunderstood anything here

Thanks

 

seriously, wtf is a slave cylinder, mate?

if you mean the thing sticking out of the firewall, thats the MASTER cylinder.
