Rear disc swap. ABS needed?

[9DUBWISE]

I have a 92 EX that is too far gone bodywise and I am swaping the benefits over to a good 92 LX. I dont want to swap ABS if I dont have to. Info plz

You do not need the ABS to run the rear disc brake setup.

I simply took off the ABS sensors, and swapped the rear cross-member and disc brakes.

Thank you so much. Still trying to get used to this site. Hard to move around and know what I am doing. Sorry for posting without reading everything first. Thanx 4 your time JM.

You'll need a 40/40 prop valve from an Integra to have the rear discs work correctly.

What about the car I am swapping from? Does it have the prop valve? Or do i have to get one off of a Teg? If so what year Teg?

The prop valve comes from the DA model tegs without ABS. The CB does not have this valve normally, since all rear disc equipped models also have ABS.

Interesting about the 40/40 prop valve, i thought i was a straight bolt on swap. i guess we learn something new every day!!!!. lets say 6 hours project with some help???...

If you just bolt on the parts, without swapping over the ABS (and I know nobody that has done that... some of the most hardcore guys on here won't even attempt it...) your rear brakes would grab as hard as the front, greatly increasing the risk of a spinout. It'd be like yanking your e-brake every time you pressed the brake pedal.

that is if we don't use the 40/40 prop valve right???? i am cool with my ride i got ABS, it's for H22anow. he has a 90 accord and we are thinking about doing this sometime soon.

Yeah, if you get the 40/40 valve for the conversion, the right about of force will go to the rear brakes.

Another quick note about the 4040 prop valve, it does not line up with the mounting holes for the stock 3030 prop valve and has a different bracket.


4040 on the left, stock on the right.


You can either swap brackets so the DA prop valve will mount in the stock location, or you can get creative and mount it some other way.

If you decide to swap the brackets, you will need a A T30H tamper proof torx bit to remove the bracket.


Picture of the T30H tamper proof screw used on both prop valves.


Good luck!

Oh yeah, I forgot about the bracket! Good job with the pics, frootloops! It's posts like that that really make this place a valuable archive!

Thanks, I know I would have been a lot happier if someone would have informed me or posted some pictures of the bracket before I did mine... so I post those every time this subject pops up.

Thanks Frootloops and Mike for the info...

The car i am using does not have ABS (92 LX). So does it have the prop valve already? Car is at work so I cant just look. Yes, awesome pics.
