11 inch front rotor + legend calipers

[bodyarmour]

hey guys i own a gold 88 a20a4 accord SI in australia. my question is relating to the 11 inch front rotor and caliper conversion in the how to section. i have redrilled the rotors to 4 by 100 but apon installing the legend calipers it appears that the bracket is approx 1 inch short of reaching the holes to locate them on the hub.i pulled them from a 87/88 legend coupe and the 89 4door looked like it had the same brakes...do the accord wagon fronts have a longer bracket? i can make a steel bracket to locate them if needed but if the accord ones are longer ill just swap them over at the junk yard..any ideas? just a pain because the jy is 2 hours away...also how many pistons are the type r / accord wagon fronts? double sided?

[ghettogeddy]

i believe there has to be custom brackets

[bodyarmour]

true...is that with all applications? have you done this to yours mate? heres some flickies for everyone so u can see what i mean...

[ghettogeddy]

no i havent but if i remediable form what i read a long time ago you have to have a special bracket

[AccordB20A]

tryed installing the whole legend front hub, wonder if that would work. using the whole thing lol

[bodyarmour]

nah too much work and i would have to mod plate it...no point machining a plate for a shit ass single piston caliper..pretty sure they will fit on the stock disks though...can any one confirm that these brakes will fit without a bracket? in the how tos legend_master says they will but has anyone else done it?

1992 - 1996 Honda Prelude V-TEC Front
1997 - 2001 Honda Prelude Exc. SH Front
1996 - 1999 Isuzu/Truck Oasis Front


going to the junk yard to pull some tomorrow off the wagon...fingers crossed

[bodyarmour]

also accordb20a is that a teggy front bumper? yeas theres an original white DOHC accord in the JY..with massive ugly dohc speed stripe stickerson the sides lol....missing a gear box though..any one know how much lighter the alloy block is?

[Civic Accord Honda]

accordb20 has a 88-89 Accord jdm/usdm front bumper

and by the way your car is truly beautiful

[bodyarmour]

cheers mate...yeah i might look for one of those in the jy also....strange that mine doesnt have one...the legend bumpers are prety similiar to those also...reckon they would fit?

[bodyarmour]

based on the assumption that the type r bracket fits these are the posible cars in which to pull one. will varify tomorrow in the jy

Well first off.... nice fat laces on the sneakers. I like that shit!


As far as the brackets your list looks correct but I'm not fimiliar with other cars besides the ones state side. I don't think you could easily make a bracket that would be stiff enough.

You can buy that bracket here for about 20$ at an auto part store. I think the Dorman part number is 141414 or something close to that.

haha cheers mate...prety bloody dirty though lol

heres some flickies of my $20 94 prelude calipers i got today....it was a different yard so i couldnt have a good look...guy rekoned he had an accord wagon. but he obviously hasnt been out there..the old tape measure told me the diskes were 11s so i grabbed them. the bracket is miles off but definately bigger than the legend...also a longer bracket...and no metal shoe in the centre of the caliper

sweet as just needed some re assurance....out of interest i ground a bit off the legend caliper bracket where it sits against the hub in the v groove part. managed to fit it on the stock hub with the stock rotor and bolt it up...rotor needs to be spaced though...the piston is approx 4mm bigger than stock an the pads are near 1cm bigger...so those interested in upgrading their backs and have a grinder or file can grab the fronts as well from the legend....approx 2 mm needs to be taken from the groove..

couldnt be fucked with that since i have a new mc and 11inch redrilled legend rotors to go on so i will order the brackets tomorrow and hope for the best..

[Oldblueaccord]

Thats my "fancy" brackets. There no differance from those and making small spacers that I have felt.

You can experiment around with brackets. Most of then have that same hole spacing of 5 1/4 or 5 3/4 what ever it is,it early for me. You might find one that just needs some grinding to work. We dont have any access to the duel piston calipers that I have found here besides the Acura NSX.

Yeah your brake pads are pretty big. It will always have that D503 number somewhere on it or the box thats what you are looking for.

[bodyarmour]

true true...so i went to the wreckers yet again after discovering that the ones i got mega cheap were the gsr calipers and got the right ones..this was the wreckers that was closed on the weekend...any way found the 17cl15vn calipers with the 23t bracket....so went to mount them up and suprise suprise they are off about 5mm with the legend 11inch rotors...started to file a little bit out of the bracket where the disk hits but ran out of daylight and just wacked them on the standard disks, bled them up etc.

did you have to grind anything out besides the little bit that sits against the hub? did you have to even do that? im not sure whether i should be taking metal out of there really but i will if i have to...did your 11s just mount up? i wonder if i have the same hubs...so close yet so far...heres a flikie of them anyways...

http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/oo31/bodyarmour_2008/P1010019.jpg


anyway heres the dohc original in the jy

http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/oo31/bodyarmour_2008/P1010011.jpg

[bodyarmour]

so in answering my own question i think i need the 25t bracket and i they have them on the vtec prelude...another trip to the jy soon to get some interior parts and flog the right brackets....the 23ts fit pretty good on the 10.3s though...aaaaaaaarrrrggghhhhhhh...such a pain...

so the working setup will be

85-87 legend 11s redrilled to 4 x 100
17cl15vn calipers with 3.5 mm milled off where the bracket bolts to the hub to eliminate the need for spacing the rotor.
and the elusive 25t bracket aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhh

[wprocomp]

if I where you-I would grab that b20a-its not very often you come by them

grab them sidemarkers,tailights,and window visors too those things would sell well on this website cheers!

[Oldblueaccord]

No I did not have to grind anything else. I think I had to trim the dust shield a little or just pull it away to get the caliper bracket on. Now on my set up the rotor thickness is 21 mm where the legend is 19mm I think. That was the differance between Legends set up and mine that I remember.

I think you are correct the GSR caliper is our caliper. Ill see if I can come up with a list of cars that have that caliper bracket but I assume if they use the the TypeR/Prelude caliper they use the bracket.


EDIT:

Ok goto www.rockauto.com and in the part number search put in 141414 and it will give you a list of cars. but the list does not seem correct to me LOL

yeah was thinking of grabbing the visors to see how they look...yeah this jnk yard is read stingy with lights...they know how much honda wants for them new...if some ones desperate ill get them and chuk them on ebay or something for cost..its got a perfect interior in the same colour so im gonna see what i can scavenge...exactly the same inside as the norm except for a 4walb sticker near the auto shifter....

[bodyarmour]

yeah sweet...i still had to file the top of the bracket where it sits against the hub to get any to fit...its because of the difference in caliper height..

the gsr calipers look slightly smaller and are marked 17cl14vn they seem to have a slightly smaller pad...the v6/type r 17cl15vn seem to have a slightly bigger casting too...theyr the ones i now have

i havnt tried the gsr calipers on the 23t bracket but im pretty sure it will fit....not that youd bother but if you came accross them then yeah (on stock disks) im thinking when i get the other bracket ill put the 23t on the gsrs and sell them to some civic gay boy..

my calipers came off a 98 accord.(yes i was drooling over the j30a under the hood and imagining how fast my car would be...very fucking fast!!!!!!!!!!).if not theres definately a newer legend there and if they have the t28 bracket (theyre supposed to) then ill just get 12inch rotors and use the 11s on the back with the legend rears which could work nicely...and stuff the v6 calipers with the biggest pads i can grind down to fit...

i will be going to the jy late this week to pull a few calipers and flogg some brackets and buy the window visors from that dohc accord..they have some 94-97 4bangers there so ill have a look...otherwise ill just have to go the 12inch legend bracket..yeah that first list seems suspect but only one way to find out...

the 98 on series v6 has has the correct bracket to fit our stock hub with the 10.3s and are the typer r brakes..this could all be solvedif i could buy the fucking bracket seperately...over here you can only buy the caliper and bracket together and only from honda and they are $737 wait for it ........EACH!!!!!!!!!!! fuck i laughed when they told me....i could get 4 pot 12inches for less than that lol..

any way on a side note...do those chrome strips on the doch bumpers come off easily or are they glued like fuck to the bumpers....need more chrome...and yes i shall have a measure of the side chrome trim bits to the legend...they look exactly the same to me....bumpers look like they fit to..

yeah i think that b20a is toast there anyway...to fucking rare for me anyway...might be able to get parts now but in 3-5 years who knows? any way gonna do the obd1 conversion over the summer(winter for you) after i get the brakes sorted and move to brisbane.. thinking im gonna use all the 4g stuff with the external igniter etc that way itl be easier to wire the h22 that i WILL be making fit..goto get an aluminium radiator too...do the integra ones fit? want a nice racing one to keep this bad boy cool...

[87roach]

Never seen a dash mat like that before..

[bodyarmour]

so went to the junkyard today...it was raining so i couldnt do all i wanted to....pulled some 25t brackets, the visors from that doch accord and a front lip from an integra ls/sx 16 88 89 ish......visors are sweet and are on the car already...
http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/oo31/bodyarmour_2008/P1010029.jpg
the lip looks ok needs a bath in the rain and a coat of black...think its a little narrow accross the car and a bit long on the sides....itl be sweet so flimsy it should bend the new curve anyway with a little help...got some foggies to wire when i pull the bumper off also....couldnt find an original switch though...just have to put another out of site for the time being...
http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/oo31/bodyarmour_2008/P1010031.jpg
so was hoping to fit the brakes up but no suprise they didnt fit...turns out the 25t brackets are exactly the same casting and everything as the t23 i could probably make them fit i guess

oldblueaccord could you please do me a huge favor and look at the t marking on your bracket? if theyr the 23 or the 25 my hubs must be wrong? but they should right be since i have 4w disks? driving me crazy...
http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/oo31/bodyarmour_2008/P1010030.jpg

fogies - check
front lip off integra - check (really fucking easy)

[bodyarmour]

ok so i found out that the t markings refer to the thickness of the disks that are used and the brackets offset...any way measured the disks and they are 9.5 inch so im thinking i will be hunting for the bigger knuckles off the lx-i or australian equivilant..what a fuck around...guess thats what happens when u assume....

if i cant find the right ones on an accord i guess ill have to find them on the 85-87 prelude or something.. should be fun no doubt...does any one know what disks the jap spec b20a came with? would they be the bigger knuckles? might be able to get them from the wreck below

[jpetrovic]

sorry this is unrealated to your post, but. I love thos rims, What are they and what size? whats the price. Also a 20% tint will make your car look complete.

[bodyarmour]

cheers budy...yeah if you scroll down theres a flick of them up close....they are 17s with 205/40zr17s on them....cost me 350 second hand..they are single piece starcorp le mans style rims....

yeah im getting to the tint...goto convert the aircon, finish brakes and suspension stuff first....trying to get the mechanical stuff sorted asap...but yeah ill probably do the 20% all round and on the sun roof as well.....

what brakes are on the front of your lx-i? itd be a massive help if you could grab a flickie of your hubs with a tape measure running horizontaly accross them for reference...probly good idea to inspect them and your calipers for leaks any way...if you havnt pulled the calipers of before theres 2 17mm bolts holding it in.use the closed end on the bolt head and give the spanner a tap to your right to loosten them.and 2 phillips head screws holding the disk on....10mins once you got the rim off....common..please? lol

looks like a tidy ride bro..just have to try and locate one in aus for the front knuckles...is the lip on the back standard? what other options did you get on the lx-i?

looks like a tidy ride bro..just have to try and locate one in aus for the front knuckles...is the lip on the back standard? what other options did you get on the lx-i?

Thanks for the input and comments :D :D :D uhh i couldnt tell ya the hub size perhaps someone else here can??? but if u really need a pic with a tape measure accross the hub i can do it this week. i redid my whole break assem. new calipers pads rotors. the rear lip is common on the US cars nothing special there :P but if u really want some pics of the hub and stuff, i can have have them up by tuseday i believe if i dont have too much Homwork in classss, 1 more year of college!! its gona be a long one :/

[bodyarmour]

that would be awesome bro..nah no one else will ..need the measurements and just need to know the numbers on the knuckles as well...yeah i got one more year of uni as well lol... iv read up a bit and i might be able to find the knuckles in the prelude/integra 90+ or civic ex just need to be able to verify them with the specs u give me..
thanks matey

[jpetrovic]

uhhh numbers on knuckles??????
sorry im a bit of a n00b when it comes to suspension.
soo give me a list.
pic of the hub with a tape measure across.
and??

[bodyarmour]

yep put the tape measure straight across the centre so it comes out between the tabs where the caliper bracket bolts to....and a flick of the numbers...just grab a piece of sand paper and rough them up...

heres the code on the ex knuckles so you get the idea

http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh195/whitecivichatch90/DSC00254.jpg

grab flicks of the setup all together and as you pull it apart as well..is that all good?

cheers bud

[Oldblueaccord]

Hey guy sorry I forgot about you.I have the aftermarket brackets they don't have the T- number on them.

I think you need to re=look at what you are trying to do with what parts you have. You got a rotor that works. get the stats(measurements) off it and try and match it to a bracket/ caliper set up. Don't get to hung up with some of the factory parts numbers there just not as good as a guide as you think.

You may be better off with an aftermarket setup thats available there then messing with parts that you may never find in a junkyard or never were even available over there.

[jpetrovic]

takeing to account what oldblueaccord said do u still want thos pics??? hes pretty much right about the parts numbers.

[bodyarmour]

yeah id still like them...even if it isnt the right part number the measurements would suffice..just need to be able to identify them on an accord as we dont have the exact same models designations over here..

yeah after market is a possibility but need to exhaust other posibilities first..im going to look at the junkyard on saturday and if i cant find a set i shall grab the 10.3 disks off a 90 ish integra and put them on for the time being...pretty sure they would be 4x100 since they put them on civic dxs with the type r calipers over here..at least the rest of the pad should touch the disk i suppose....

did 85-87 preludes have the same knuckles as the accord? might have a looksy at them also..

[jpetrovic]

i'll try to snap a few pix today, and i dont think the prelude knuckles will work, but they might?!! i'll have pictures later in the afternoon.

i made Links b/c i had the low bandwidth users in mind :D

on the knuckle i dont know its its EL I4 or if that was an EL 14, :/

[bodyarmour]

excellent buddy thats a big help....il see what i can find and ill have a look at the prelude knuckles as well for the right part number....

as for the prelude knuckles, we know that the upper arms fit of which i still have a set to put on...i also know that the lower ball joints are the same as the accord...we know that the tranny can be used which means that the axles should fit, that just leaves the shock mounting points and the tie rod arms to have a look at..i think the tie rod bushings are the same part also from memory...worth a look i suppose and they are more likely to have the bigger brakes....

your right, the preluds have alot more aftermarket performance parts. keep us updated on the work, if this works we could have another front break setup, and from the looks of it your set up will be much cheaper then the legend 11" rotor setup on the site. :)

Im in love with that pick..

Love that lip on there, so little do so much!!

[bodyarmour]

got 10.3 disks from an 88 lude today and took a few photos for r&d...


wagon 92 rear bar, i noticed that the white accord hatch below is actually a vigor...i was too busy looking at the motor lol....getting the rear garnish next time...are all the sway bars bigger from this model? shall measure next time...

88 lude suspension after removing disks...looks like it would fit...remembered that the strut bolt to the lower arm not the nuckle...what you reckon? front prelude knuckle conversion....maybe?

85-87 front suspension...pretty much the same as accord but small disks

88 2.0 si suspension with twin piston calipers but still 9.5ish disks...really hard to measure without taking them off though...

anyway check accord pics for the rest of the shit i got...

[jpetrovic]

i'd go with the twin piston

[Oldblueaccord]

I think all those arms might work. I mocked up a 92? Acura arm on mine. Its the curve of the arm that is differant. I dont know what effect it may have on the alignment might be the problem or even if the tires could rub for some reason. The other thing I would check out is what ball joints they use making sure that the joint goes with the correct taper.

[bodyarmour]

yeah im thinking so too mate...yeah the curve on the 3g prelude is deeper so if anything there should be more clearance....also the ball joints for the 4wheel steer arent as long so i would imagine the upper arms are part of the swap also...the 2g ball joints are really hard to get over here and i ordered the last set in the country only for the store to misplace them..so ease of parts is another plus...

another advantage is that the prelude comes with 10.3 rotors and the 17cl14vn (gsr) calipers. i put the disks on today with no trouble at all...note you may have to grind 1mm off the backing plate of the front pad to clear the hub on the rotor.alternatively you can take the metal shoe things out of the bracket (if you have the r calipers) this is fine since the gsr ones dont have them anyway...

so for those of you that dont have an lx-i you can grab the disks and calipers and bolt them on...88 si prelude is what they came off...(note i didnt check the stock bracket on the gsr calipers but it should be sweet..if its not then they are the same as the lxi hubs and your in luck anyway..just grab the v6 ones off the accord wagon(t25) or v6(t23 best fit) thats what i did

the pad completely touches the disk with no over hang so yeah looks like ill keep these for the moment until i find something better...

couldnt be bothered with the little twin pistons since the pads are the normal accord ones which are tiny compared to the v6 ones....the amount of pistons doesnt really matter unless the calipers you are comparing are the same size and use the same pad..

anyway as soon as i have the time and get sockets big enough to knock off the axle nuts, ill grab hubs and upper arms off the lowest km 2.0si 3rd gen lude i can find there....

btw how do you change the name of this thread? would like it changed to - 10.3inch 3rd gen lude rotor + type r calipers since the legend calipers have been long since abandoned

[lostforawhile]

reviving this thread,great thread,going to look into this for myself.
