Default jsut installed my NSX brakes and appropriate hardware

well, installed the NSx brakes and they feel great! jsut liek migs said, youll need one small washer to make them fit nice. Also, i used teh 12mm acura legend rotors. ***car was already equiped with a 5lug conversion*** Also installed was a GSR master cylinder and booster. This WAS a pain in the *** and i wish i had done the 15/16th RS master cly or SI unit than making this one fit. it was a huge pain in the *** and i dont want to get into it right now. anyways, the car feels so ****** great, i jsut cant wait until i get teh appropriate prop valve. the front tires lock up long before the rear brakes have any clue to kcik in. id also like to get soem better pads. Im a valet, and ahve driven a lot of nice cars, actually you name it, ive driven it. But this car as is, is the sickest braking car ive ever driven, it feels so nice. heres a few pics, comments and discussion are expected!


ill post pics of the setup on the car tomoroow, its dark out and i really want to show some nice pics

* sniff *

I love you man!

Lets see... you take NSX calipers and slap em on your car and you wonder why it stops so great? Thats like sticking a jet engine into a Ford Fuckus and saying its the fastest thing youve ever driven

Awesome, glad its all in...

calipers were 400, found them on ebay right away, the gsr master cly had ABS so it needed a flair nut from a 93accord to make it work. jsut listen to b18c5eh and USE THR RS unit. master cly and booster was 100bucks from sohfast, rotors were 39 a piece, SS lines were liek 100bucks. i think thats all.

I feel your pain dude. Lets see, you have to bend both hardlines. And have to reflare one to a larger fitting right?

Oh, and it is a tough **** to slide into place as well.

B20, I actually regressed and progressed at the same time. I ditched the ITR setup and went to the NSX/Legend setup.

But, then again, I have a GSR and went to the non-ABS setup, 15/16 booster/master cylinder.

And if I may share my pic I just took today

Just one question...why didn't you take the PV from the NON-ABS integra while you were doing your conversion? You've got the 15/16 MC and the booster to go with it..seems as though logically you'd get the PV to properly distribute the power to the brakes...?

hey, any u guys mind taking a closeup of the gsr master cylinder. I recently bought an integra on from a local junkyard, but they couldn't tell me which model car it came from. I looks like it would bolt right in to my civic cause all the lines look about where they're supposed to be. Any help is appreciated, thanks

Just make sure the PV has a 4040 stamp on it.

The GSR MC has inlet ports on the END of the cylinder, and at the beginning. Both on different sides of the cylinder.

Might be a little late but the one on the left is the RS (15/16) and the left is a GSR.
