I did this years ago. Got some integra (91-94) rear trailing arms, and an SI e-brake cable to get it done. Then eventually I replaced those bushing with energy suspension. That required the use of a torch to burn out the rubber so the dog bone and bushing ring outer ring could be reused.
I know I need to. I need a spare wiring harness for my EF as well. So I can mfpi swap it without cutting up my harness. But these car are starting to get really hard to find. I am in the states
edef conversions in qld make a conversion kit to go hydro gearbox or you can just use the d15b4 gearbox. As for mounts you can just use d15b4 stuff i believe just need post mount off the b4 and if you use original gearbox that and t bracket they just bolt back in
Slowly acquiring parts to do this. Did the offset change much from OEM? Doing the DA rear brake conversion widens the stance in the rear, just checking if you noticed whether the EK rear setup made the stance wider?
Hey bro ive had trouble sourcing a rear trailing arm disc brake setup. Have you done or seen anyone do the little bracket disc brake conversion? If so do you know where i can grab one? Ive been looking everywhere
@@TURBOTRISTO you said that. My apologies. You do great work. My old account was Jäger Von.. just so you know. Same guy who wanted to itb his D16 😅 that changed so far.
@@TURBOTRISTO nothing I just changed it up. I don’t post vid, so was just keeping communication transparent with you cause you get back to your fans/followers. Appreciate you for that.
So my question is… did you pull these out of an EK hatch as well? Or would the EK platform be universal in that area, I’d like to do this for my 91 SI and kinda wanna start building a list, any help would be appreciated!
I want to see you install a key fob to one of these cars and then find a way to use an app on your phone to unlock and start the car from inside the house.
Awesome job as always dude. In the process as we speak of converting my EK to rear disks from drums. Actually doing the whole conversion to Si brakes to give me a bit bigger fronts. Thanks for your vids. Keep them coming. Question...do you find it absolutely necessary to switch out the master cylinder and proportioning valve. I'm reading conflicting arguments on whether it actually needs to be done. Any real world experience? Thanks again.
you don't have to but it helps. You prop change because rear drums require less force to work. The drum brake prop valve feeds less fluid to the rear to compensate for this so using a drum prop in a disc car just doesn't use the rear discs to there full potential

Awesome man that sounds perfect
Good stuff man keep at it 👏🏻 hopefully you can get your views up too! I see we are both down on the views and you deserve more!
I appreciate it! us small channels need to stick together
Like the Project. Slotted brakes look nice. Hey I Enjoy the background music...Great Job
Thanks hector thanks for your support 💚💚
GREAT INFO!!! I'm just started doing a 89 EF SI myself. But have more restrictions in California on what I can do to it motor wise.
What are you plans
Super clean EF!!
Appreciate it! i wish it was mine
Looks good. I need to do this to my EF. Just gotta find a nice set of trailing arms in the yard.
Head down there on the weekend I’m
Going again in the morning
I know I need to. I need a spare wiring harness for my EF as well. So I can mfpi swap it without cutting up my harness. But these car are starting to get really hard to find. I am in the states
Looks sweet dude 🤟
Thanks Raymond 💚

New video is edited and will be out soon, I came up with a hydro conversion kit I’m going to install tomorrow
do you get braided lines for the ek brakes or for the ef brakes and they bolt right on?
They sure do just buy ek lines
Slowly acquiring parts to do this. Did the offset change much from OEM? Doing the DA rear brake conversion widens the stance in the rear, just checking if you noticed whether the EK rear setup made the stance wider?
It’s no wider mate
wow this one was extremely informative great info brother
Glad you liked it
You can take the disc and hubs off the disc trailing arms and put them on to the original Civic drum brake trailing arms
What will the caliper bolt to?
You sure can but this was is easier
@@jtaylor9355 the spindle with the hub
@@adieselcotton so your saying you have to change the spindle too? In your first post you only mention the brake disc and the hub
this way is the easiest just change the whole arm bolts right in
great content
Thanks victor

No clue grab any sedan rear trailing arm set from any wreckers they are everywhere
This is ek stuff on an Ed all works
😜good job and lucky man！
thank you Macy
Excited to see this EF.. you’re keeping this one right?
It’s a customers car man
@@TURBOTRISTO you said that. My apologies. You do great work. My old account was Jäger Von.. just so you know. Same guy who wanted to itb his D16 😅 that changed so far.
@@T-Ray-AllDay awesome bro what happened to the old account

@@T-Ray-AllDay you are the man
What about wheel alignment?? Did you mark them and put back in place?
Normally yes, this car is getting coil overs and heaps of new bits it will need an alighnment 100%
So my question is… did you pull these out of an EK hatch as well? Or would the EK platform be universal in that area, I’d like to do this for my 91 SI and kinda wanna start building a list, any help would be appreciated!
These are in all ek1 sedans and ek4 or ek1 gli hatches, or em1 basically any civic between 88-2000 with rear discs will fit
@@TURBOTRISTO much love! Earned yourself a sub!
Amazing video. I’m from Melbourne with an ED civic manual I’m looking to do exactly this with. Can I pay for your help? Haha I have the parts.
Sure can I love money hahaha
Hit me up on my fb page spoolup.com.au
Nice video
Thanks bro
How about the front brakes what are the convertions you have to make?
@@gersondeperalta17 check out my latest series I’m kswapping an Ed with a big brake kit
I want to see you install a key fob to one of these cars and then find a way to use an app on your phone to unlock and start the car from inside the house.
What the???? Is that a thing
Its turning the civic into the future.
its pretty cool idea, I have seen the push button kits from usa I would love to fit one of those
❤️❤️❤️

you don't have to at all man, but it will help but not necessary
@@TURBOTRISTO yeah that's the consensus I'm seeing. Thanks mate!
I have some DA arm and they say it stick out more
That’s cool, did you use the da lca?
This dude made a video of him making a video..
