I really enjoyed watching this video. I have been looking around the internet and I think there might be an even better OEM BBK Option. I have seen the Honda Odyssey community use a similar Genesis Brembo setup using a MDX rotor. So it might be possible to use the 07-13 MDX Caliper with the Nissan rotor. I think this would result in a powerful braking setup without the need for large/wide aftermarket wheels OR fancy adapters.
Dual piston calipers will be an upgrade over their single piston counterparts. Looking at the caliper shows that the mounting bolts are 14mm which means you will need to drill the holes on your knuckles to fit. The rotor is 296mm diameter and 28mm thick which is similar diameter (300mm) as the 8th, 9th Gen Si and TSX, but thicker. So the rotor will have more heat capacity than those previously mentioned rotors. I have not tried to use this combination before so I cannot comment on fitment.
I have a 1995 civic EX coupe 1.6L SOHC VTEC, I bought CRV calipers which I believe it is the same as a ITR caliper , 280mm mini rotors, and TSX pads. Do I need to upgrade my Master cylinder or proportioning valve or booster ? I am only upgrading the front calipers for now and leaving my Stock rear drum brakes . I would appreciate your help please and thank you.
If you are leaving the rears as drums then there’s no need to change the proportioning valve. As for the MC and booster, it is more of a personal preference, going to a bigger MC will decrease the amount of line pressure for the same pedal force input and reduce the amount of pedal travel. If you choose to use the existing MC the pedal travel will be longer with the ITR calipers. If you go to a bigger MC (7/8”, 15/16” or 1”) there will be less pedal travel. Bigger booster will give you more vacuum assist, effectively reducing the amount of pedal force you need to generate the same line pressure. Do you prefer a heavier or lighter brake pedal? Do you prefer more of less pedal travel?
Can you send a picture how these discs are centered in de caliper? Because if I'm right ep3 hubs flanges are 2/3mm more inward against the caliper. Would like to know if I can get away with it.
A quick Q (not for me but for other viewers with similar cars who are interested). What did you do to the brake master cylinder size now that you've gone 35% larger effective piston area from the stock caliper (51mm)? Great content btw!
The 5x114 is definitely heavier than the 4x100, but I did not weigh the two. Also got heavier when I went to bigger brakes, and bigger wheels. The good thing is that the car got faster at the track with the bigger brakes, so it’s worth it in the end
Is it true that the USDM ITR front calipers are the same as 90-93 honda accord Wagon fronts ????? Ive heard this many many years ago in the early 2000s
Thank you for all your work puting this info together and showing everything. Great stuff! I have a doubt that I think you can easly clarify: I have a 8th gen Si, and I am considering changing only the rotor to the TSX/Accord one, 300mm 28mm thick, as I dont need more braking power, but just a bit of thermal headroom. Will those fit the calipers straight in? Or will I need to mod them somehow? Main concern is if the calipers have enough clearence for the extra 3mm. Thanks in advance mate.

Hi Paulo, thanks for visiting the channel and subscribing, I would recommend also going to the TSX calipers with the TSX rotors. Technically speaking with some caliper bracket clearancing and used brake pads, you could probably get the TSX rotors to fit with 8th gen Si Calipers. My concern is that the caliper bracket doesnt have enough room for the increased rotor thickness of the TSX. For the cost of the calipers its not really worth this hassle.

Interesting 🤔. I already know about the Budget 280mm Mini Cooper rotor with DC type R calipers on regular DC Integra Knuckles... This got me thinking 🤔.... Could the TSX/ 8th Gen SI 300 mm rotor work in a regular DC Integra knuckle? 🤔🤔🤔🤔 Would a regular RSX or RSX Type S Bearing And 5 lug RSX / type S Hub Fit into the DC Integra knuckle and then I could bolt in the TSX brake calipers/brackets to work with the 300 mm rotor??
So the DC2 Integra had 2 knuckle sizes, the DC2R had a bigger wheel bearing which is similar to a CRV Hub/Wheel Bearing where as the other DC2 had a smaller wheel bearing. The RSX-S 5 lug hub will fit into the DC2R knuckle, I have not tried to fit the brake rotors or the calipers from the RSX onto the DC2R but it should fit with some slight potential offset adjustments.

Yea for CRV hubs you can either machine down the hub register, or machine the brake rotor center to fit the hub. Or look into RSX-S hubs which has a 64.1mm hub register without the step for the brake rotor but still accommodate the 36mm axles
Rotor height is 56.7mm, if you bolt it on then the rotor won’t be cantered in the callipers. This parameter in conjunction with the rotor thickness and the hub mount thickness also has to place the rotor in the center of the calliper to get everything to bolt up

The limiting factor for wheel clearance is the caliper not the rotor. Reducing the size of the rotor will only increase pad overhang. It will not improve wheel clearance.

@@FormulaDeltaOG first gen crv calipers also work with the mini cooper rotors. Both dc2r and crv use the 17CL15VN calipers, obviously crvs are much easier to find in junkyards.
@@slaps101 I've been seeing some videos about using the Acura RL calipers with re drilled rottors for the 4x100
Mini Cooper base model rotors are 4x100, 64.1mm hub, 280mm diameter, and 23mm thickness.... That's basically an 11inch ITR rotor in 4x100
What wheels did you end up getting to fit the brembos?
I ended up going with 720 Form GTF1 17x9 +25 with a 10mm spacer. Other wheels that fit would be the Konig Hypergram or Dekagrams in the 17x9 +25 or the 17X10+18
@@FormulaDeltaOG awesome thank you. Very helpful 👌
are the Genesis calipers front or rear?
Fronts only
For guys who want type R performance and want to stick with 4x100 without upgrading to 5lug,
Run 2002-2007 Mini cooper base model rotors (4x100 280mm)
Integra Type R calipers and brackets
TSX pads
Can I run 14" wheels with this set up?
ayyyy what up ping !?
dc2 itr brake calipers + mini cooper S slotted rotors + acura tsx 2008 brake pads, would probably cost you less than $300 both sides.
The brackets need to be milled to fit or else rotor rubs bracket. Ask me how I know
