How to Rear Disc Brake Conversion (88-91 Honda Civic CRX EF)

[@RonnieGonzales520]

Hey Jon I know for sure 92-00 civics and 94-01 integra RTA work and all interchange

[@brentspeer1141]

Ronnie Gonzales What all needs to be swapped out to make the DC Integra brakes work?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Same as in the video

[@ramagtr34]

I have trailing arms for a 93 si on my 95 Civic... do you think it will fit in my 2000 Civic ex? I rather have them on the EK

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Yes

[@kevintieu693]

The 40/40 valve can be found off an integra ?

[@elliswilliams1050]

Thank so much Garage Built Honda's. I own a JDM GSR swapped 90 Si Hatch, you've made this process incredibly easy. You also made the GSR fuel filter replacement very very simple. You've single handedly made me a significantly more self reliant person. That is an invaluable trait to bestow upon others. You're doing good work man. Thank you.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Love to hear it, thanks for letting me know!

[@mikeedjruffkat8498]

And 1 thing never mentioned is brake lines need to match caliper if u use da teg u need da lines and DC needs DC lines cause it comes out side of caliper and da is angled to bottom and longer

[@benmiller9854]

It's 2020 and I converted my 89 si 17 years ago, 1992 integra rear brake swap, just wanted to say you are doing a great job.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Thanks Ben

[@travistexas7175]

For 88-91 ebrake cables that fit (CRX=short, DA=long) use 92-95 Civic Si or 93-95 Civic EX coupe (not sedan). They are the exact same length as the EF3/EF9 ebrake cable. The bolt brackets from the 88-91 HB easily swap over to the 92-95 cable and allows for a seamless install in the factory location.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Is there any other option for crx cables? A shorter option other than the 90-91 CRX SI cables that you know of?

[@arthurtorres580]

So Civic ex sedan wont work for CRX?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

They'll be long, but you can probably loop them a little. Watch this video to see how the DA cables fit on a crx. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqrUZmqkfZ6Wfqc

Just changing a 91 HF to rear disc with scarebird kit n 94-01 integra drilled n slotted rotors n calipers. I got 91 crx si cables on ebay w/ hardware. The installing cables section was Gold

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

I've always wanted to try those, but I've always had way more rear discs than I needed.

[@HondaVlogs]

I bought LS RTA just for this. Glad you made this video to remind me I'm slacking

[@johndeev]

@@GarageBuiltHondas maybe you can show someday how to do an auto to manual tranny swap, esp. on a 98 civic ex (wishful thinking).

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

If given the opportunity I definitely will. I haven't done a swap like this in a while now!

[@Edsecondstocomply]

Grabbed a set of RTA's and ebrake cables from the junkyard off if a DA this morning. Will be doing those in the next month or so. So many cars, so little time lol Will def ne using your video as a guide. A lot of the old walk throughs online are missing photos and such.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Perfect, you shouldn't have any issues!!

[@MiloCalimlim]

I can also confirm that 2000 Acura integra gsr arms fits. The brake feel feels good even without the proportioning valve which I still plan on installing in the Future.

[@austinjohnson2162]

Great Vid.! Another way is to just get the rear spindle or hub assembly from a DA teggy it unbolts from the RTA with 3 torx bolts. You can bolt it straight on the stock RTA 👍👍👍

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Yes. The LCA still mounts the same to the trailing arm.

Jon, I recently completed a rear disc swap from a 93 Del Sol into 90 EF hatch. Cable were a little tight, and I had to make the threaded ebrake screw a little longer, but it works!

[@Dahm-fp6ks]

Why does everyone keep using the stock factory 40/40 prop valve? They sell aftermarket ones that are adjustable for race cars.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

That bolt up like OEM fitment? Or do they require you to cut, bend, and flare lines?

If you were to do a rear disk brake conversion on a wagon. How would you go about that?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

No idea. I've never looked into it. There are methods, but I'm not familiar with them.

[@my4cars528]

In case no one mentioned in the comments; ideally you want 94-01 Integra arms as 90-93 will widen the track. Of course 88-91 Si are ideal as well.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Watched the vtec academy video too?

[@my4cars528]

No, but thanks for the tip!

[@brucegillen9593]

Great video. I'm doing my disc brake conversion with Scarebird brackets, etc. My question to you is that you haven't or don't need to address the power brake booster, proportioning valve or master cyclinder. Scarebird recommends 1997 acura integra for its conversion. They go as far as replacing the master cylinder. Can all these changes work correctly with the existing power brake booster (91 CRX HF)? If not, any suggestions?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

It'll still work fine...if you're not racing the car on track it won't be an issue. If you are, look into the 90-91 Civic ex. It's a 15/16" size.

[@allana5930]

I used 90 Integra rear trailing arms and all of the brake lines and e brake cables both of them a hundred percent is the 40/40 valve from a different type of car because mine has it something that looks just like what you put in

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

All of these cars have the proportioning valve and they look identical, but they do not perform identical. It'll be stamped on the front of the valve.

[@allana5930]

Thanks for the info. I'll get back to you.

Was this done on a crx? My parking brake cables had a different setup of how they led into the cabin. The rubber grommets that lead into the cabin were different. They were 2 seperate grommets. Just wondering if your video is of a hatch or sedan

Stainless isn't needed. The stock ones will fit. I always upgrade because those old rubber hoses start to crack and break and since I'm already disconnecting the lines, it just makes sense to replace them at that time.

The only problem with using the 90-93 Integra rear trailing arms is it widens the rear track.

Only a problem if you race, if you don't it's not an issue. And even then it's a minimal difference. You can easily fit 7" - 8" wide with 205 or 225 on both. I'm speaking from track experience using both DA and non DA sets.

If you have drums, you have to use the Integra ebrake cables. You can pick whatever lines you want. Get them for a 90-93 Integra.

This it's a great video, very helpful. Though I have just one question. Can you keep the original e-brake cables, or is it a must to replace them?

Thank you!!!

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

You can't use drum cables, you need disc brake cables. They are not the same. You can purchase the cables brand new also if you want to try replacing them. You may want to see if the caliper is sticking where the cable is attached to it.

You'll need both the brake lines and ebrake cables from the Integra! Yours will not work.

Garage Built Hondas how long did it take you to complete....

Hey. Good day men. How can i do rear disc to a wagon? Is it posible? A big hug from Dominican Repúblic

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

It's become easier. There are some people making metal brackets to bolt to the original trailing arm. Speak to efparts.com. The owner is working on something. Tell him I sent you!!
