Is the ma61 master cylinder and booster big enough? Obviously if its not, the brakes are stil only as good as the amount of fluid fed to them...
The ma61 > ma70 master cylinder has been covered on the celicasupra site, but how about the booster ?
Do lines need to be upgraded to a larger size for the upgrade as well?

i dunno about the 15/16 master cyl being suitable to drive the R31 calipers... but the booster will be just fine as will your brake lines.
booster only helps your foot push on the master cylinder - the ra40 stock-to-hilux calipers only needs upgrade of the master cyl and proportioning valve - lines are more than adequate for shifting all the extra fluid required, as is booster. Your upgrade would be similar improvement in terms of % of increase in fluid requirements. is not like you car is heavier by significant amount ergo needing extra braking effort on the master cyl.
You'll only need to replace booster if yours is leaking.
you may want to get new flexible lines for the front (seeing as they'll be pretty old by now)
btw: am glad you came out of accident mostly unharmed.
