ABS delete

So I just took out my harness and before putting in my new one I was thinking of deleting the abs while it’s out, which kit do you guys use or if I could diy it what do I need? Probably going to put a catch can where it’s at and also anything else I should look at while the engine harness uim and abs is off? Thank tou

Unless there is something wrong with it (i.e., it's leaking or otherwise non-functional), I would recommend leaving your ABS alone. No good reason to remove it otherwise.

Only good reason for ABS removal is if it sees mostly track use and not much road use. ABS is still one of the best options to stay safe in wet conditions. If you do want to do it, just need a proportioning valve, fittings and brake lines to connect to Master Cylinder in and existing hard lines going out to front and rear brakes. I would be a very cautious on DIY'ing your own lines if you haven't made them before as brake pressure is measured in 1000's of psi, and if you mess up a line it can be game over real quick at even city speeds.

1) Condition of Fuel Lines
2) Any evidence of leaking fuel from FPD
3) Replace vac lines while under there (especially if you are still sequential)
4) Condition of rear coolant lines

I would say these bare minimum, plenty of other things could be looked at. But, I've seen it said many times... get used to taking the UIM off, tons of stuff under there.

so the abs hasn’t been working and I was thinking of just filling up the spot with a bigger catch can instead for the blowby

I get that green is their color, but even if I was in the market for an abs delete there is no way i'd buy that......

the only other one I know of is the Alex Rodriguez kit, but I dont think they are being made anymore.

Vinnyfab makes a kit also, but it's for RHD. Would have to call and see if they could change the length of the lines for you. I don't really like how the proportioning valve is mounted, but that could be massaged.

Another option would just be to buy a used ABS Pump from Tomsn16. I'm sure he has a couple laying around.
