Default Brakes wont build pressure!!

OK. i put DA integra brakes all the around my hatch. new lines / rebuild calipers/ brand new EX 4door 15/16 MC.. i cant get the **** to build pedal pressure. ive bleed and bleed them with nothing. im getting nothing at all on the right side of the car.. just some dribble . and decent pressure on the left side.but still sub par..

ive replace the MC 3 times and bench bleed them all several times..

look all around for leaks.. nothing

changed prop valve.naddas. what could it be?

sounds like the brake booster. Also, you have to bleed the brakes in a certain order I think, different for each car. I went through a whole bottle of brake fluid when I bled mine. So expect that.

Usually when brake boosters go bad, they make a hissing sound as if it had a loose vacuum hose, so check vacuum line. You might want to check proportioning valve behind intake manifold on the firewall. And did you pinch the brake lines when you replaced the calipers? Because there might be a small possibility that air reached the brake cylinder, then you would need to to remove the cylinder and bench bleed it.
