Default anyone know anything about brake boosters ?

is there a difference between a teg that has abs and non abs brake boosters ? are they created equal ? can i use a booster off an LS and use it on my non abs crx ?

also, can boosters be turned upside down to match a master cylinder's bolt pattern ?

lmk thanx

they are the same booster, we did it on my friends HF CRX he loves the braking, I will say this though you need the master cylinder off of the new booster. Get the MC and booster of a DA integra and you should be good.

easiest upgrade on an EF for the brake MC is to upgrade to the 88-89 prelude, which is a 15/16" and is a DIRECT bolt-on to the stock EF booster...

if you use the DA MC you have to use the DA booster....

the non ABS DA MC is 15/16", where the ABS version is 1" but the lines are bigger and at a different angle which= a PITA!

if you need anymore info on this subject lmk i have links to alot of info on this stuff....
