hello has anybody put a line lock in there car. if so what brand and did you need two or just the one. second any problems installing

 

Curious as to why you want a line lock? Its a good possibility that the guys from SP and Injected are using line locks.

 

want a line lock for when put drag radials on car for drag strip. little easier on the car for burnout.

 

You must have a manual tranny

 

We don't use a line lock on our car. Not a bad investment though.

You will need 2 units as it's a 4 channel abs system. You can get the hurst roll control units, but will have to figure out the fittings necessary. We haven't gone down that road yet, but may put a line lock package together over the winter.

A line lock is a great investment. I had a hurst roll control on my LS1 car. I have no need for one on my 350 at this point but thats the route I would go. It shouldn't be that hard to do and you will never see it in the engine bay. I doubt they make necessary lines specific to a 350 but you can always make them.

 

thanks for all the input needed to no if needed one unit or two. makes more sense than foot braking! easiear on car

 

We have done multiple line lock installs and two solenoids are required if you want to keep ABS. We have developed a kit and are waiting to test fit it before posting for sale.

 

I've always wanted to hijack the ABS system to do a complete electronic line lock system but I've never had the time to actually work on it.

All the ABS control wires run from the VDC/ABS controller under the dash to the ABS junk under the hood. There is a motor run signal that can be turned on (apply ground), cross over solenoids (again apply ground), and then individual wheel solenoids (ground once again). To me, it seems like if you manually turn the motor on and manually fire the cross over solenoids and the correct individual wheel solenoids you will have a line lock with $10-15 in parts. Because you want full pressure you shouldn't have to worry about any modulation or anything like that - just steady signals.

The only possible drawback I see is that it may cause the ABS system to fault out for one of several reasons:

1. The motor provides feedback to the controller when it is running. To "fix" this you would have to cut the feedback wire while the line lock is active.

2. Each solenoid is monitored. To "fix" this you would have to use relays and resistors to make the system think that solenoids are still there and not turned on.

3. There is a pressure sensor. If the system faults out because the pressure is too high when the pump "should" be off then you would have to hijack the pressure sensor voltage and make the system think the pressure never changed. This would be the hardest issue to overcome. It would be interesting to know if the pressure sensor monitors normal brake pressure or just ABS brake pressure. If it monitors normal brake pressure then it won't be an issue at all, as the system will just think your foot is on the brake.

This is on my list of "fun winter projects to mess with". It would definately be nice to have, especially if it can be done cheap.

 

Bump.

 

Bump?

 

I have two line locks sitting in the garage but I havn't installed them yet. Bump for interest in hijacking the stock ABS as a line lock.

 

Any update?

 

Id be interested in this too..

I've got all of the pieces here, now I just need the time to finalize the setup :x I guess it's time to get it together with the racing season coming soon.

 

Any idea what you're going to charge for a put-together setup. I'm tempted to buy a pair of solenoids and just build my own.

 

I took the time today to find my line lock solinoids. I think I am going to order the fittings and line that I need so I can get them installed on my car soon. I will make a thread once I get around to doing it.

 

I have had line lock on my 2003 for 2 years now, I have 2 hurst soliniods and i used the red switch that was supplied in the kit. I mounted them inside the brake conpartment under the drivers side of the hood. The problem is the fittings from abs system to the solinods. I went to a hydrolic shop and had 4 custom made hoses made with the proper fittings on each end. I had them colour coded ( red and blue) Cost 250.00 for the hoses and 225.00 for the hurst kits. Instaltion time about 3 hours. It looks really good. I would post pictures but i do not know how to do it. The burnout's are great.
5 AT running 9 lbs of boost on a stillen SC.

 

Can anyone confirm that the fittings to the top of the distribution block are 10mm x 1.0 inverted flares????
