You are here because you want to know how to put an S2000 Clutch Master Cylinder in your 1990-1993 Honda Accord.
Warning: There is NO performance benefit to this install, unless you were to find a larger bore CMC that fits S2k's. Basic hydraulic theory: Same volume of fluid moved = same volume of fluid moved.
Warning 2: The pictures are not the best in the world. And this DIY is simple so I didn't bother to edit the pictures.
Let's continue.
Parts and Tools Needed:
S2k Clutch Master Cylinder (Rockauto is probably cheapest. Mines is a Centric part)
S2k Clutch Master Cylinder Spacer (FFC or similar)
Braided Clutch line
M10 Banjo Bolt
Grease
Cotter Pin
CMC Gasket
Snap Ring Pliers or Needle Nose Pliers
Small Flat Head Screwdriver
Instructions:
Remove the stock CMC. (Not covered here. I don't actually think there is a DIY for that yet)
Lay the two parts side by side. Take note of the longer length of the Accord's pushrod. This is the part that will need to be swapped on to the S2k CMC.
Remove the snap ring on the Accord's CMC.
Remove the snap ring on the S2k's Pay attention to which way the metal retaining ring comes off. You will be reusing this part. Mine was removed using a small flat head. Yours may vary.
Clean the pushrod, place the s2k's CMC washer and snap ring back into place with the Accord's pushrod
***Attach the clutch line before installing the CMC. It is a tight fit.
***Install new CMC with the spacer.
***Grease the clutch springs and pin while you are down there.
***Bleed the lines
Admire your work, have a beer.
///Alternate M10 Banjo Bolt Modification///
I don't know about anybody else, but no one around me sells banjo bolts for some odd reason. So I took the old one off of my transmission soft line to hard line fitting for the clutch, crudely cut it down with a sawzall (I recommend using a Dremel. I didn't have one at the time and the hacksaw was to slow ), cleaned up the burrs with a file, chased the threads, cleaned the bolt with soapy water to remove shavings and installed. It is working perfectly.
