CNC'd BB Delete
I've been building hondas for a while and although my last one was a ground up build of a k20 crx i just recently stumbled across a new trend that has started to spread. I also hang out over on k20a.org and i see alot of the guys trying the Brake Booster Delete kits to clear turbo components which are also running the wilwood master cylinder. I'm wondering if this still stops the car as it would with the stock booster? I plan on maybe trying this since i will be tucking and shaving the bay on my s2000 soon. Any input and critisizm is welcome. I would like to see what you guys think of the idea.
Looks to me, are not as ideal as function!

I have a buddy with a CRX with this setup and he says its stops its just a lot like having manual brakes...the port on the BB is too big and it doesn't match up all that well with our cars are far as pedal pressure and stopping ability

I would leave the booster. You'll find that it's very hard to apply equivalent brake force on a master cylinder as large a diameter as the S2000. I'm not sure about the K20 guys, but on an early generation civic, integra, or CRX I think you'd be ok since they have smaller diameter master cylinders.
I'm not saying it won't still get you stopped, but you will have a workout every time you need to stop.

K20 swapped civics/integras/crxs may need a Brake Booster swapped if you go rotated manifold for turbo. You need the extra space.
On a S2000 the Booster is not in the way of anything on a LHD car. No need to replace it.
