Reposting this for you ax/HPDE/competition experts, since it wasn't getting any traction in the braking forum:

My 03' track car had an engine transplant to a rev-up. I am not super familiar with the details of what this required when it comes to the ECM. I do know that all of the CELs are illuminated, which brings me to my question. That-said, the car also has no ABS. It is completely removed. I don't know if this was for a competitive advantage (for a driver with a super-talented foot), or because it's a PiTA to get it to work with the rev-up engine. I want the car to have ABS, and am not afraid to grab the ABS components from elsewhere to install it. At this point, I simply do not know if I'll run into any issues with the install. Thoughts?

Thanks!

 

abs is run off a separate computer. just need that ABS EMS, the wiring harness, wheel sensors, and the plumbing. should work fine

never seen the harness for sale though, so I imagine it would be expensive unless you found one in the junkyard

 

I assume your ECM is an '06...correct?

If so, do you have a way to compare the part numbers of the ABS components between an '03 and an '06?

 

That's what I was afraid of - that's a lot of work, but I need it to work.

I believe the ECM is from the 06'. Good question - I'm not sure.

 

this is sounding expensive...

 

I think if you could find a junked 350....the price for parts wouldn't be too bad...

Thank you! It's always good to have that kind of contact - autogator just doesn't cut it anymore.

 

Have you started looking to see if anything is disco'd? I would start at all wheel speed sensors, then the ABC control unit etc etc. Also you may be able to connect to a Consult unit and it tell you where the fault is. I'd almost bet they did a simple ABS removal.

BTW i just disco'd my Yaw sensor and ABS still works fine. So TCS/VDC can completely be disable and ABS can still work.

Danny sold me a full DE engine/HR headers/ and misc other engine parts for a GREAT DEAL...the product was shipped ON TIME and was EXACTLY what he offered for sale, great seller!

 

Ya if the harness is still there, its not that big of a deal. Esp if you can find a donor car in a u-pick lot. Prolly get everything for 100$.

disconnected yaw sensor FTW, esp when you have a real traction control system in its place

Why not just drive it without the ABS?
There would probably be a bit of a learning curve, but I'm sure its nothing you couldn't handle

 

Sweet, thanks!


I hope so, I'm working on it, just didn't want to get the parts from the wrong year.

I thought about it, but the event I drove in the wet was a mess. An exceptional driver that can extract that extra few % that the ABS takes away is gifted. I might be able to move in that direction in the dry, but in the wet it's a whole other story.

 

I ran 2 races without ABS...it was OK as it was Hot and Dry...very good traction...but I still flat-spotted 2 tires...that is expensive

I do understand that there are may different versions of ABS parts...with little documentation to guide your search...just take your time and work thru the issues 1x1.

BTW: I use this tool to help me work on my ABS problem on my car...works pretty dayum well!

meh, ABS is for wimps.

 

Besides, if you get into ABS, you've already screwed up.
