I don't think there is any interchangability between the ABS and non-ABS systems. I think you've got to swap out pretty much the entire system. That and the front suspension is substantially different on the ABS cars. So, things like wheel bearings and rotors will still be on the outrageous side. However, I think the admin here has successfully ditched (or worked-around) his ABS system. He'll no doubt let you know. If you (or anyone else) wants to get rid of their ABS stuff, let me know. I'm keeping mine as long as I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest adegnes Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 I've removed all the wiring. Maybe if I apply voltage to the motor only (make a switch), I could get it working as a normal brake master... You think this'll work? Is the pump running constantly? If it is, there should be no problem doing it this way... hmmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N9TE Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 The pump is not supposed to run constantly. You'll burn it out in no time if that's the case. It is meant to cycle. If you've removed all the wiring, I'd just see about putting a standard non-abs master cylinder in there. You'll probably need a donor car that can supply the vacuum booster, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
