i <3 braided lines... thats my next project.

Andrew · 11-14-2006, 04:51 PM

Well, if your looking to do it, scan over This thread's pages.
Some guy posted some pretty nice setups that will work a little better.

My current setup will only leave enough room for about 3" of SS hose, because the filter and stuff is inline. (And hopefully I won't have any problems with my intake pipe clearance)

Andrew · 11-14-2006, 06:14 PM

If your fitting looks like this...

You'll have to cut off the non-threaded part of the fitting.

4. End result:

And your good to go!
I'll be making a write-up on it when I'm finished with it(in the car), so look out for my sig to be updated!

BTW, I talked to KMS, again, and he says he'll be calling my Friday about shipping info...

Don't jynx me!

Update 11/15

I've started on the brake booster and master cylinder thing. (DC teg)

I've got the Booster completely bolted in, cotter pin and all, as well as the MC, but I need to go back to the junkyard and pick up that one fitting I'm missing(seen in last pic).

Isn't that stupid? I went to the junkyard a couple days ago, got 3 fittings, and neither of them is the right one!
I'm an idiot.

Well... Thats it for now

lookin good

Calesta · 11-15-2006, 10:43 PM

brian11to1 · 11-15-2006, 11:27 PM

i assume thats a 1" master cylinder? fuckin siiick. cuz i got the same one for my integra... just havent installed it yet.

Andrew · 11-16-2006, 10:35 AM

Well, I'm not too sure what it is.. haha. It's off an 94+ LS w/ ABS. I'm starting to look around for a GSR MC. Those are 1".(same as ITR, but I think buying an ITR one will be a bit more pricy...)

But even still, it's better than mine.
Next will be some brake upgrades. I think I'm gonna go the simple route-

- Accord Wagon, Prelude VTEC (etc) Brake Caliper mount stamped 25T (a 23T bracket exists, but I can't promise you it will work). This is what came stock on the Accord Wagon.
- 1/8" wheel spacer OR grind ~1/8th" (2.5-3mm) off of the caliper mounting bracket. If you are familiar with the 11" brake upgrade, this is the same modification necessary.

Read about it in THIS thread on H-T.

That way I don't have to go through the hassle of changing my knucles or LCA's.

So... I guess thats next!

mac_24_seven · 11-16-2006, 04:08 PM

Awesome stuff man.. I"m Andrews Bro-in-law and have helped him along the way with this swap.. I'd liek to say that he basically knew NOTHING about working on cars before this..and look at em go.

Smart lil queer he his. Good job man, I cant wait to rag on it some

Andrew · 11-16-2006, 07:29 PM

I guess I'll take that as a compliment?

haha...

brian11to1 · 11-17-2006, 12:00 AM

hey on that master cylinder look at it.. on the side... it should have a 1 casted into it. if it does, its a 1" master cylinder... if not then there should be a 15/16 stamp...

oh and just so you know the accord calipers are cool and all... but the 94-95 legend GS sedan DUAL PISTON caliper is better!!!

good luck on your shit

Andrew · 11-17-2006, 10:34 AM

I just went out and checked out the MC out... survey says.....

Yiiipppeeeee

Oh, and I thought it was the same, but I didn't know if the accord caliper was dual or not.
I just called Advanced and they said they have the '95 legend GS calipers for $62/ea. with a lifetime warranty

Do you know of any modification needed to install them? Gotta do some more research I guess...

-Andrew

Andrew · 11-17-2006, 11:06 AM

wow! look at all the views!?
Link's in your sig really work!

Calesta · 11-17-2006, 12:04 PM

Calesta · 11-17-2006, 12:05 PM

Oh- as for installing the Legend calipers, if you Google up "4G brake upgrade" you'll find some articles on the old crx.honda-perf.whatever.blah.blah.blah site that tell you how to bolt everything up.

Andrew · 11-17-2006, 04:05 PM

Thanks for the tip.
I just read both pages-

4g Civic Brake Swap
4 and 5g brake upgrade

However, I feel like it didn't really answer my questions very much.
That thread on H-T seemed to have more direct info.

So I'll only need '95 Legend GS calipers, '91 civic sedan(ex) rotors, SS lines.....
And I'm thinkin thats it. right?

Calesta · 11-18-2006, 12:37 PM

I think so... did it say that you needed the 90-91 EX steering knuckles? The caliper mounts are different between the knuckle sets.

i know for integras you have to shave like 1/8" off the caliper mounting bracket... the inside portion the part where the rotor passes through...

other than that its pretty much the same.

Andrew · 11-20-2006, 08:05 AM

Like so?

klyph · 11-20-2006, 12:16 PM

Nice. How'd you plane that down? Did a machine shop do it or did you do it yourself. looks pro

Andrew · 11-20-2006, 04:53 PM

Someone posted it in this thread.. I wanna say Page 12-13 or so.
I haven't bought my stuff quite yet.

Hmm.. well, thats the only mod they said was needed.
What exactly were you talking about?

Read my post. grind it an 1/8th of an inch on the side the rotor passes through... ...

either way will work i suppose. DA guys grind it onthe side im talking about, I guess EF guys do it on that side.

Andrew · 11-20-2006, 08:37 PM

Huh.. I guess it doesn't much matter.
thanks brian
