The Acura Integra in the past few weeks has come a LONG way. We have enhanced suspension, control arms, fixed the body damage, gave it a brand new set of wheels and tires, and a paint job. Now it's time to make this car much more agressive and safer at the same time using Wilwood's big brake kit for Acuras and Hondas! This big brake kit is surprisingly simple to install and operate, and my buddy James Wood does an amazing job explaining and installing for us. The Wilwood Kit makes changing pads the easiest thing on planet earth, and adds so much stopping power it's unreal. Thanks for watching!

Always upgrade your brakes!
Always overlooked, but a game changer. Thanks for watching!
ThatDudeinBlue the video was nice but you really need to do something about lightning it was annoying trying to see what Mr wood was doing under the wheel well it was to dark
Need to supercharge the teggy
you should recheck your rotor direction. pretty sure you need to swap sides. they are directional.
You should've done the type r mini cooper conversion. Oem reliability use honda brake pads. Cheaper and better for the money. I already messaged you on that but oh well
How much was it? Were the rotors part of the kit or separate?
Big brakes won't do much for stopping distance. They help with heat management/cooling. Stopping distance is mostly associated with the weight of the car and the stickiness of the tires. A solid brake pad that gets a good bite on the rotor would also play into total stopping distance, but the general idea is that most modern brake systems have enough clamping force to lock the tires almost instantly, which engages the ABS, and it is momentum (mass x velocity) and stickiness of the tires (friction) that actually determines stopping distance.
For being able to stop fast repeatedly (ie, manage heat) larger brakes are needed with a brake pad compound that can handle the temperatures like a semi-metallic pad. If someone wasn't going to add larger brakes then the pad would heat too much and the compound would soften/melt to the point that brake fade or failure would occur.
Stainless lines help to avoid flex in the system when applying the brakes, so input matches output, or pedal feel is better or more direct.
Fluid upgrades will also improve feel and are heat tolerant, so the fluid won't boil.
Finally someone who realizes tires are important for braking. Very overlooked.
Exactly , it’s beyond me he buys a big brake kit and uses some crappy tires
Justin Irace also prolly put him in modified class for autocross
i can't get over how sexy these big brake kits look! I'd almost want to install some on my Peugeot 107 (same chassis as a toyota aygo/citroen c1)
i made a custom 'small big brake kit' for my stock power starlet :P im using wilwood powerlites :)
Now it just needs a motor for those brakes
It would be dope to see him get that b18b1 built
I hope he get a k series
Same here,k is the way,$5,500 can get you the k20a1,trans and ECU,it would make for a fun ride
02si EP3 guy slap a type r head on it
@@jaidenlovell1425 ep3 has the junk k20a3, garbage motor, cant handle hp for shit. Compression is junk. Waste of money
if you never do the work , you will never learn bro.
Orphan_tc right? Such a pussy
Facts
Orphan_tc ikr. And it’s only a brake job too smh
Thank you!
love the upgrade.. but.. before putting on the rotor its a good thing to clean the rotor with brake cleaner to get the protective coating off... did a test with it.. and i had no brakes at all when i did not clean them.. it took a while before the pad grinded off the coating..
Suspension, chassis, paint, brakes. That's how you do it. No plans for the rear brakes? Still hoping you get rid of that interior though. If you plan to autocross the car, you just need the dash and tow bucket seats hehe... Aaaand... I'm still hoping for a K-Swap, or at least a B18. Keep it up!
It does have a b18 lol
OG SPMEX Yu know I meant a B18C5 lol, I was just lazy...
driftingmindz_jp I wanna see him get the b18b1 built
OG SPMEX I doubt he would really BUILD it, besides some add-ons. And I really dont see the point either lol
K20/k24 and make it an animal :D
Great work. I'm going to be doing the Focus RS Brembo upgrade to my Focus ST. Just waiting for the calipers to come back from powdercoating.
Once I get a truck. I'm going to be converting my Focus SE Sedan into an ST and run 6 piston Wilwood front brakes and 4 piston rear brakes. I'm going to be converting my car into a track/time attack car.
How much were you charged for the powder coating?
erich2780 my sponsor is taking care of it. 😁
just sell the SE and buy an ST??????
Jhawk you can do the swap for less money. Also if it's a sedan a few have done that swap.
6:13 thought the box was empty for a sec I was like “David, what?”
Did this same brake upgrade on my second gen trans am front and rear. For the size of my car i really didnt see any increase in stopping power. Their 4 piston calipers are tiny but they are the only calipers that would fit under my wheels.
U also have to make sure when doing this upgrade that the master cylinder piston ratio to caliper piston ratio is ok or you wont have much pedal feel(no matter how much you bleed it).
You probably don't notice much because swapping brakes doesn't change stopping distance. Tires do though. Upgrading brakes is really for the sole purpose of reducing brake fade under extreme conditions. Tires make a huge difference because they are the only thing making contact with the road.
Did he really ask if he has zipties? What 240sx owner doesn't have zipties?
darren corbit facts
Forget about 240sx😂 any self respecting car guy should have zip ties
darren corbit one that cares about his car and uses parts that work.
here's a tech tip, a small gatorade bottle, some clear tubing from the aquarium section at Wal-Mart that will fit snugly over your bleeder screws. drill the top of the bottle to fit your tube and you have a cheap brake bleeder for your cars.
still cant get over how good the color looks
The Baltic Blue looks amazing
Lol James asked a 240sx owner if he had zip ties
Did your calipers have bleeders in the insides and the outside??? If these are four piston I think you may have missed the inside pistons when you bled the brakes.
that was the thing i love about my 1990 mazda rx7 is that it has 4 piston front brakes like the wilwood kit just pull the pins slide out the old pads and put the new ones in and your good to go
you should do a test drive video soon!! with new wheels, brakes, coilovers, exhaust and a new shortshifter, it'd be interesting to see how it drives now :) im curious.
Those look so good, I can't wait to get some for my S2000!
My buddy swears by brembos but I'm thinking about getting willwoods on my car after I get the thing safetied
I had Wilwood 4 pots on my ITB'd Renault Sport 172. Trouble is the car behind doesn't realise how fast you can stop in a 900kg car on big brakes lol.
Alcon, AP or Brembo are the top dogs IMO, though.
Silent Scone what about Rotoform or [STOPtech]? 😑
Baer makes solid stuff too
PAKTRA_PRODUCTIONS WATCH_DOGS They all make reasonable kits, like K-Sport, too. But Alcon and AP are at the top of their game. Brakes are a weak point on a lot of JDM cars, especially Evos. Always amazes me when people are running 5-800hp and still using the stock setup. You can easily warp a set of stock discs. Even a set of decent two piece discs up front is a great upgrade for the stock Brembos.
You planing on doing track days the last thing you want is drilled rotors slotted only man.
I'm sad I didn't get to see you testing out the brakes. That would have been a nice conclusion to the episode rather than ending talking about bleeding brakes.
Caleb Baker Yeah it seems like a lot of his build videos end like that
1:10
You know Wood had to do it to em.
John S underrated comment
What size and offset are your rpf1s
What is the offset of your wheels to clear the WILWOOD CALPIERS Sir?
Hey dude, thanks for the informational video. I hope you also plan on upgrading the rear brakes soon too. As it currently sits, the is bias extremely heavy towards the front. Without appropriately upgrading the rears, your stopping distances will be worse than stock. You want to maximize braking ability from all of the traction that you have, including the rear tires, regardless of drivetrain layout. I would call up Wilwood and ask what they recommend for the rears to give a good bias front to rear (I believe factory DC2 ITR was 60/40, which is what I have on my time attack EM1 and works very well).
Ummm, normally 4 pot calipers have a bleed nipple on both the inside and the outside. Bleeding just one is not doing the whole caliper. Not even going to start on the cross drilled rotors.
when will we get a garage/basement tour ?
I love this build. By the way, I saw this in my suggested videos, which is weird because I’ve been subbed for years and usually your videos come up in my subscription menu. Anywho I checked my sub menu and it wasn’t there. I refreshed my TH-cam app and it still didn’t pop up in the sub menu.
I want to make my integra very fast yet comfy enough to daily drive and Im glad I can use this as a guide
When autocrossing the big thing is how will you brake fluid hold up. The brake heating up constantly but not able to cool down quick enough between braking will cause fluid boil and brake fade to occur. It's best to have a fluid up to 600 or more boiling point when doing autocross. However race brake fluid doesn't work well in street driving due to heat range transfer at low speeds.
You guys are lucky to get those screws out. I can count on one hand how many times I was lucky. Majority of the times, they snapped.
I just finished my big brake kit upgrade yesterday. It took 3 weeks to do it lol. Because the guy I had helping me fucking snaps the threads on my bleeder valve screw. The place where I was working at was only open mon-thurs. hence why it took 3 weeks lol.
That's the only nice thing about owning a Honda everyone and there grandmother's sell everything for them. For me on the other hand have to go out and find what parts from other cars fit and work for that I want. I was looking to upgrade my brakes also and to do that I have to get Discs front an mx3 and mod them a bit to fit the hub, and corolla calipers, and a brake master cylinder from a camry. Then again I really like that about it.
You never did a review of the watts link suspension you had done on the Mustang and that hurts man lol
Hate to play the blame game, but blame procharger.
They haven't sent me the part to fix my procharger bracket ordered a month ago and screwed up making it. Thus I can't accelerate full throttle at the moment. No point reviewing a watt's link without max potential.
ThatDudeinBlue Man got to hate speciality parts but I'm looking forward to it man!
Not sure why stainless steel brake lines wouldn't have been upgraded then. 4pot calipers won't mean anything with the fluid gets hot and the rubber brake line expands due to heat.
A great budget alternative is reman'd ITR calipers from Rock Auto, there is a DIY guide on Team Integra and I think ProPartsUSA sells a kit for it. Probably cheaper than the Wilwoods, even though those are a budget bbk.
I panicked when I saw Mr. Wood use that wrench when he went to remove the wheel bolts with all of that fresh paint!
Robert D. Don’t worry I wasn’t going to scratch any paint
I don't know if it's just me or what but this video shows up in my suggestion feed but it's not in my subscription feed. :( Loving the videos David, keep up the great work!
Good job on the brake job David!
Oh what, David’s friend!
Funny thing is this didnt pop up on my notifications and Im subscribed and the bell is on. It just came up in my suggested not my subscriptions. YT is so weird.
Hey David, can you do a full video overview on what’s wrong with Smurf please?
What was the part number for that banjo bolt?! Same exact thing happened to me today. I jinxed myself by watching this video last night 🤣🤣
All those zip ties but no impact gun and sockets.
This build is coming along nicely. Once you’re down with it I’ll take it off your hands my fellow Atlien
David what your offset on those rpf1s!!!!
I've done the same thing to the banjo bolt before... reused the old bolt in my case
you should have done a test drive or least a cinematic with those. they looooook so pretty. I have brembro on my sti and evo and they are just so expensive to replace.
I like it, I am looking into a big brake set for my Focus ST. Keep it up man!
Smiles Per Gallon how many focus st owners are on here? I'm included hehe
Mr Valenzuela not enough 😂
@ThatDudeinBlue The brakes should be bled from the inside then outside of the caliper to get all the air out of the system, and a few light taps on the inside and outside of the caliper with a rubber mallet to dislodge any bubbles caught around the pistons (assuming these are like most 4 pot calipers), and while they are definitely an upgrade I cant say ive personally been impressed by wilwood systems in the past. Dealt with everything from leaky bleeders to calipers actually physically flexing noticeably when the brake pedal was pressed. And this is a nitpick (and not as important if the primary use is on track) but I prefer kits that retain a dust boot around the outside edge of the pistons for cars that will be driven on dusty/snowy/or otherwise harsher environments as I dont want to risk small particles making their way to the seal and potentially causing leaks down the line.
Yeah braking is probably the most important part of any car, it's actually most of the reason behind why I bought my V70R. Coming with 4 piston Brembo calipers front and rear gives me great confidence to drive quickly without putting myself or others at risk. I know I can come to a complete stop in my car faster from 60mph than most hypercars can get to 60 mph, overkill is always the best bet.
David u cleaning up out here car cleaning products almost wish i had a whip
Loving the integra straight fireee
I really like that color.
That paint is icy ❄️ can’t wait to paint 🎨 my integra
I thought this was supposed to be a budget build?
If you want to stop on a dime you better put stickier tires on. As that is really the only way to slow a car down is the friction between the road and the tire. js.
wilwood wood is not “the best of the best” but they are damn good.
I'd wire wheel the surface rust off those hub faces as it can cause uneven rotor wear, ie: break shudder.
this series is making me want an integra
>nobody can break in your firewalls
made me lol
I have been wanting to do a wilwood big brake kit on my 70 coronet rt since I got it last year.
When the integras done you should finish your basement 😂
Awesome video but just a little clarification on VPN's. They're provide privacy but not anonymity. In order to be totally anonymous you need a specific network within the Internet. Basically look at it this way. If you're on the road constantly, use a VPN when accessing private information i.e. Banking etc. Also, utilize dual layer authentication as well. Ad blockers are a good idea as well due to the abundance of C&C requests that come from ads.
Also, don't cheap out with brakes. They're very essential!
Boost it!!!! Got the stopping! Now get the going
Are those pads any good for daily driving, As in do they make that horrible scraping sounds when they're cold?
Need a bright light setup, looks humid wet and dark where he is actually working.
Hey I'm also putting a Wilwood big brake kit on my EK hatch and I'm going to be doing a K20 swap on my EK hatch
Hello i really love that car it's nice to see how it goes better and better each time
Sick brake setup u should do steel braided brake lines the price u can get all 4 corners for u cant beat it they r like 50 bucks
Absolutely loving the integra videos! it’d be nice to see some more mustang videos again like maybe take it to the strip?
Procharger won't send me the part to do the maintenance needed. Incredibly frustrating.
You picked a beautiful color for the Integra
Recommend spoon or yellow speed racing for your brake upgrade cheaper than brembo but better than wilwood
The rpf1 size hes running looks to be 15x7 +41 offset
Love how he just fingers up the rotors 😂 an no brake clean was used
Good brakes got them on my 08 GT will stop on dime and give you nine cents back lol
Hey would you be able to please provide us with the model # you installed. I want to install a BBK on my honda civic EX model and wanted to know if my existing wheel with a 45 offset will clear the caliper.
Every race car is a show car, not every show car is a race car.
Hi David! Love your videos. I am considering buying an integra and I was just wondering if you had to talk the price of your car down? I notice some integras on craigslist charge like 6k for good condition and low miles. Thank you very much. Keep up the awesome videos!
I wonder how much more stopping power this kit gives you without upgrading the brake master cilinder and brake booster? Also did you notice a longer pedal travel with the bigger wilwood pistons?
i got thst set up in black best brakes for hondas
Nice man love my wilwoods huge difference
hey David what happened to the drift built?
I'm subscriber number 700 on James wood rx7 channel
Rubén Cabrera dude thank you so much for being 700!! I really appreciate it. The channel is slowly growing :)
James Wood no prob I'm a Honda guy but I a soft spot for rx7's☺
Then you’ll like what’s in store for the FC in these next few videos on my channel
James Wood I'll tell all my friend to sub they all love rx7s it's there dream cars doesn't matter if it's a fd,fc,or fb
Thank you dude! I really appreciate that :)
Color looks great!
Hey uhh you clean the break disk before you put it on the car right
Such a sweet setup
Black Drilled and slotted rotors, why? You should have just used stock rotors with the willwoods calipers and stainless steal lines. Also if you are serious about auto x get some good fluid Castrol SRF is the best in my opinion. Those pads aren’t going to cut it for auto x either.
Looks like you might have put the rotors on the wrong sides, they are directional.
Keep up the cool Content brother your 240sx make me want to buy one and do a LS7 swap in it
Hope Nord is paying you handsomely
I think Toyota put that color back on the 17 and 18 Rav4.
Jesus Lemus i think i know what you're taking about but im pretty sure it has a different name. That colour is beautiful though, its black from some anglea and a super dark turquoise from others
Good stuff. Looking forward to engine work.
Hey David, I love your videos, and I love when you show how mechanical work is done. But it kills me that you don't at least hold a flashlight to light up what we are supposed to be looking at. It would make a big difference to me and I think your viewers. :)
Still haven't adressed the ISO nice!
It also still has the stock factory ls which also does practically nothing
Does steel braided lines make any difference? My old car came with it ( previous owner) but I've never found the difference between a stock and a replaced system.
Very good my boy keep up
must be really bright in the garage for him to be wearing sunglasses
jardcreations they are my prescription sunglasses. Help me see when I don’t have my regular glasses with me.
I installed these on my car (Dc5) and I feel like they get REALLY hot. Do you experience the same thing? Like compared to stocks have you noticed anything funny with yours?
