- rotors 2.2 vtec
- bracket 2.2 vtec
- calipers legend 93
work grat, very big different :turn:

woah...

 

[UK Lude - Greg]

Errr, Did you drill your rotors?

 

[flylwsi]

that swap has been around for a while...
but it's a good one...
i might consider the vtec caliper upgrade...

 

[Daily Interlude]

Shims/spacers?

Also, what model legend did it come from? I see 2 pot where I was on EBAy and the one I saw there was a 1 pot...

 

[flylwsi]

on what, his?

i think 88se lude has this swap.
and there's a few writeups on it...

 

[guma]

yes i wos driling rotors, it's quite easy to do.
my car is 90y 3gen ex lude, model after lifting. it wos b20a3 in auto, now it has b20a5 in manual on board.

 

[UK Lude - Greg]

Cool!

88SE has NSX Caliper with MG ZR Discs and they are very nice! Thats what I would do if I had the cash and know how!

calipers are from 93y honda legend 3.2 coupe, they are very similar to nsx calipers, but surface of pistons is bigger, so bigger power of breaking

 

[CADster]

very cool.

 

[dutchlude3gen]

nice upgrade
no modifications?
just a bolt on?

Did you have to use shims/spacers to get the caliper to line up correctly with the rotors though/

 

[guma]

only spacers are in calipers, vtec rotors are thiner then legend so i use old pads, as you can se on pictures, the rest wos almost just bolt on ( i have to change hubs from b20a3 to b20a5, habs are different)

you used used pads? they look new to me...
can you get pictures of the spacers?

I'm doing this swap eventually...good stuff

 

[volks]

Welcome guma
Nice work. Tell them who told you how to do it :lol:

you used used pads? can you get pictures of the spacers? how much did you spend on this swap?

He used old pads to make spacers as you can see on this pic

From what he says on PTP forum it went somewhere around $150-200

 

[88SE Lude]

Fly, I used to run that set-up a good many years ago now. Moved on to NSX stuff as Greg mentioned.

That is actually wrong.
Yes they do have slightly bigger pistons but that does not give them greater braking forces .
They require more fluid movement hence actually feel worse at the pedal for no more braking force. (and yes I have tried them so I do know this for a fact)

BTW you do not need to use spacers behind the brake pads, they work perfectly well without them.

ah...I misunderstood what he said
the spacers are IN the calipers :emthup:

BTW Raf, taking credit for something I was the first to do. getting a habit

I konw, I know. Thats why I could tell him how to do it.

 

[88_2.0L]

i have to replace all four calipers and discs. maybe ill do an upgrade when i go to do this.
