Think about it
ABS is electrical,

QWhat pump would you use, what computer where are you going to get the speed control for the ABS,I dont even want to think about the rest, hardware etc...

Do you think you can pull this off?

Actually, I've seen systems available that just hook up in line to the brake lines and pulse the brakes. They are pulsing all the time so I wonder what it feels like.

why you want ABS? i dont like ABS because doesnt let me feel when braking and the pulses get me in my nerve. my parents have a 99 GMC jimmy and i dont like to drive it because of that. is a great safety equipment but im not putting it in my car

I don't think it would be feasible to put in a proper slip sensing ABS system, and I would definately not want to install a perma-pulse system, as I would imagine it would actually increase stopping distance on surfaces with good traction.
