Re: How to Swap your Brake Master Cylinder and brake booster
i run a 10.3" front with ITR calipers. i don't really have a write-up on that; i could make it into a writeup. but i have a lot of pictures and comparative info here:
http://www.lukekailburn.com/brakes.html
and i'm working on a writeup for the rear disk brake swap.
As of now i've swapped from 9.5" DX caliper fronts/rear drums/ 13/16" mc and booster
to
10.3" ITR caliper fronts/ 9.5" GSR rear disks/ 1" gsr mc and booster
and let me tell you the increased stopping power is phenominal. i'm very happy with the setup. once the rotors and pads in the rear mate i'm expecting an even firmer stop. Very pleased tho.
Thank you for all those who had nice things to say. Just because we know how to do these swaps doesn't mean everyone else does. I take the time to take clear pictures and write detailed writups to BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY of honda gear heads. If i help out a few people then i'm happy. If you dont' need the info in my writeups just simply ignore them.

Re: How to Swap your Brake Master Cylinder and brake booster
the problem with NSX calipers is the heat fins on them take up so much room you have to get big rims. the biggest summer rim i want to run is a 15x7. i'd hate to go bigger than a 15 and i'm not sure all 15's would clear front nsx calipers.
as is i run 14" del sol rims in the summer and 14" steelies with snows in the winter. i had to shave the wheel weights to clear the ITR calipers up front :-P

Re: How to Swap your Brake Master Cylinder and brake booster
you know i wouldn't be so sure about that. i posted writeup's for making a det can and installing a wideband.. people oo'ed and ah'ed and made them stickies. what's to say upgrading a booster and MC is any less difficult. :1
Like i said, if you don't need the writeup GREAT. neither do i, thats why i was able to do the damn projects. But i take the time to make the writeups because i can garuntee that atleast 25% of the forum users will find something usefull from the pictures or comments.
Sorry for trying to make the ricer community smarter
hahaha

Re: How to Swap your Brake Master Cylinder and brake booster
you all are a bunch of friggen ricers you know it :P
but seriously, go look at my site, i'm running an hmt setup too nogs. i do all my own work, tuned it myself. next project is rebuilding a good y8 tranny out of two, building the bottom end with some custom rods, and then building a new manifold and dp for the new turbo setup. sounds yummy
