97 GSR vs 97 ITR brake booster, need help ASAP!!!
Advance Auto: No such thing as a 97 ITR brake booster
NAPA: Has 97 RS booster (non ABS), then 97 LS, GS, GSR (ABS) boosters listed
AutoZone: Has 97 GSR booster and 97 ITR booster, ITR booster is $208 more!!!
Different part numbers on Acura but both say 8" + 9"
ITR
46400-S47-J51 POWER ASSY., MASTER (8+9)
GSR
46400-SM4-951 POWER ASSY., MASTER (8 in.+9 in.)
Will it work? As long as its the same mounting and depth for $208 saved I could care less if I have to push the slightest bit harder to brake. Someone here has got to know the difference between the ITR and GSR brake boosters.

Sorry for my panic rambling. 1997 Acura or Honda Integra Type R. I need a 97 ITR brake booster. Its hard to find anything Type R that is brand new so I was wondering if the GSR would work since its more readil available and usually cheaper.

I think the 8"+9" is the size. Just eyeing the measurments its 8" deep from front of the booster to the end of the adjustment rod and looks to be 9" wide?

Make sure the bolt pattern is the same for the M/c. I think one was different.

I just went out and looked and noticed the ITR M/C bolts are horizontal then I looked at my sons Ls and they are indeed diagonal. Not sure on GSR.

The 97 ITR is staggered/diagonal though. I think my problem lies between maybe having ABS and non ABS parts? I know you need the same to work. But my master is (supposedly) and was confirmed to me a 97 ITR master. But my booster, the hole is so big that the master push rod fits inside. Maybe I am missing a piece somewhere here. IDK its such a headache right now.

Sooo someone on Ebay sold me a non ABS booster which has a shorter rod and only allowed the master cylinder to be pushed like 10% 
. Got a new ABS booster for a 97 GSR, the mock up and test worked like a charm. Now for the real test is on the car and bleeding the brakes, What a hassle over someone selling me the wrong part and not knowing. Never again lol. Cost me like $100+ and months of time trying to figure out why my brakes wont work.
