Does anyone have a ABS delete write up on here? I searched a few threads, but the info was very vague, and they all ended up speaking about why you shouldn't get rid of the blasted thing.

Really? My bad. Calculon, do you have it up and running? Just curious. As soon as I'm finished with my single turbo project, I plan on installing my Racelogic Traction Control System.

Does your ABS system work? Then why on earth would you consider removing it? It can save your butt in emergency stopping situations and also in bad weather. Removing it will not improve your braking ability at all and when you find yourself in a situation where you need ABS, you will be really grateful that you have it.
You have a fairly light, powerful car with wide tires - you need the ABS.

Good question. It cuts fuel and spark for very brief periods of time to reduce power and keep wheelspin under control. They claim that if the AFR is above 20:1, it won't want to ignite. Then they state "Even if a high air/fuel ratio did manage to ignite, the energy available from the amount of petrol injected wouldn't be enough to elevate temperatures significantly.". That's not very comforting to me, since it's not temperature I'm worried about, it's detonation.
I'm sure someone who knows more about combustion dynamics can provide a more detailed picture, but based on what I've seen I'd take a cautious approach until proven otherwise.

I've experienced it on a high-powered S14 and a stock S2000 and it's very impressive.
Sure it's safe for a wankel, it can interupt spark and/or injection, for a turbo car I'd just have it cut the injectors. The manufacturer claims it will work on any car with EFI and ABS.

Remove it. Even better, yank out that PS and AC system too. After all, you have may have to add some PS fluid some day, and the AC system might require some maintanence.
Even if you don't lock 'em up and crash yours, it'll make the remaining streeted cars with even a fraction of car's original streetablity more valuable. And in the currrent economy, the rest of us can use the help.

But this is just a weekend car so it's not that important to me

I will be taking it out of my car. It will be a weekend toy that will see maybe 3k miles a year. I will want to Auto x and track day it. If it goes on the track I would not want to have the abs in the car.
I think it you can't keep from locking the brakes up you don't belong in a 450 hp 2800 pound car, but that's just me. Watch, two years from now I'll be posting a Q_Q I locked my brakes and landed in a tree .

Maybe you should have read, that he wants to remove it..
Granted, it's not my thread, but I also have use for the information too. Thats what forums are for...
Being sarcastic doesn't help this thread, nor helps defining you as any help to anyone
I've stated that I would like to find info about the same mechanical part the the thread starter is asking opinions on. Also , showing how it's done properly might save his and my life and yet being a ***** looks like it's your number one priority when it comes to the abs delete and to me.
If you love the ABS system so much, Once I delete mine , I can send it to you for a souvenir.

Funny though the better a driver I become (I do race autocrosses regularly) the more I appreciate the value of the safety features on my car.
