i want to remove my abs and was wondering what is involved in removal. i tried to search but didn't find much on the subject. thanks

 

IIRC you need a few proportioning valves and a couple other things. There is a thread that details it pretty well, I'll see if I can't find it when I get a chance.

Any particular reason you want to delete it? if it works fine I would leave it alone personally.

 

i want to remove it because the car is mainly used for drag racing, it rarely is driven other wise

 

if you remove it or even tamper with it and still drive on public roads your insurance regardless who its with is automatically void. its a big no no in terms of modification and removal i ran into some of these issues when i was considering it a long time ago on a different car. it would also make the car impassable for an insurance inspection if you did make it only a track car and then went back to a daily car.

 

Remove it for your purposes. You don't need any new proportional valves. The P-valve is retained and located at the bracket next to the ABS unit. You will need one metric coupling and one metric Tee fitting to accomplish your goal. I have done all three of my FDs this way and they brake just fine. It essentially takes the car back to a vehicle without ABS - conventional braking. Bleeding is easier, weigh savings, space savings...etc.


If you email me I can send you pics of how to arrange the 5 lines left behind from it's removal. One line will couple up with another line ( the coupling fitting ) and one line will couple up with two other lines ( the tee fitting).

Finding the coupling is easy. Finding the TEE metric fitting is near impossible - but I have them

cool we look forward to it

 

Yes I would love to see pics!!! i'm converting my setup to a full Tilton manual brake setup with a stoptech BBK. I need to understand how to bypass the ABS and make it clean.

Go to single turbo section and on page 2 look at my single set up by busted7

 

Ok guys, here it is. I quickly marked it up. This is on my 2nd FD, needs cleaned up a little. NOTE - I made the aluminum bracket to hold the PP valve - slick huh? Anyway the system works just fine, stops hard as before the removal.

Questions ?

wow yours is confusing i got rid of all of my lines and made new ones

 

Actually it is not confusing. The red loom gives it that appearance. Think about it - even if you made up new lines, you'd still have the same regardless. I just bent the existing lines around and tied them together with the Tee and Coupling. Hardest part is carefully bending the lines for a good install.

When the ABS is removed you will have 5 lines. There they all are in the TEE and Coupling.


Real Easy !
