Finishing off ITR Brake upgrade - Brake Master and Booster...

[Egxris]

Hi Guys.

My car has the ITR 5 stud brake/hub/LCA upgrade done on it (95 - EG Civic) and ive also replaced the Prop valve with a 40/40 one. Now the brake peddles still feels like shit so its now down to the Brake master and Booster to be replaced. I initially bought a 1" integra brake master and booster but its for an ABS model (12mm brake line at the rear) and dont really want to run a ABS master on an non abs car.

Is this the correct NON ABS Brake master that i need? It says its off a 94 - 00 Integra DC2 but it doesnt say type r?

that is not a type r brake master

take it back whoever you bought it off and exchange or get your money back

So this is the one. says its a EK9 Type R booster non abs says its a 1"

From what I've noticed the 12mm rear flare nut is dependent on the year model not wether it came with ABS

99-00 10mm
96-98 pre fl 12mm

For e.g I've seen
99 DC2R abs 10mm
99 EK9 abs 10mm

The abs brake booster and master doesnt make a difference...
I have done this conversion in.my ek...
As long as ur running the correct prop valve it will fine...

that's speaking specifically about the 1" BMC

If its cheaper to just get the vti-r mc and booster then just get that and worst case flare a new end. From my experience on all the vti-r mc they are also 1", you will find a nice big "1" stamped on it somewhere

^^^ vtir is NOT 1inch...

Ill take a pic of the one i have so you can identify it (its got a (1) on it.

ive also just finished 5-stud conversion

i ran
itr 1'' BMC and booster
non abs dc2 vtir 4040 PV
5-stud + arms from Itr

been 3 days now driving around and not seeing any leaks or drop in fluid, but pedal does feel abit spongy and sum freeplay there,
im waiting on a cusco brake stopper. Ill put that in and see how it feels

[B18cEG]

I currently running stock eg gli front discs, integra vti-r rear discs which i think are the same as the civic discs (si-vti) with a 40/40 prop from a da integra and the vti-r 1" mc and booster. The best way i can put it is my brakes are F&*#ING AWESOME!!!! not spongy, pretty sensitive and my car can go from 100kmh to 0 so quick you end up with your face on the windshield lol

i had same spongy feeling like u do and i already had my brake stopper on, i spoke with a old skool mechanic mate and he advised i cracked all the bleed nipples on the calipers and let them gravity bleed for a bit whilst i kept topping up brake fluid as it drained out, and then it was all sweet...

[junoki]

nice,

ill try bleed lines again
