non abs to abs conversion

[stevenr816]

is this possible? i have a '90 turbo supra with abs that i want to put into my '87 ge-t

 

[BorHor]

It is possible. You just have to run all the lines and stuff.

wiring, lines, hubs, sensors, ABS ECU...

lots of work, but it can be done...

 

[oowee623]

ive centemplated this too is it worth all the work?

 

[Poodles]

up to you...

I personally like the ABS system in our cars as it stays out of the way until it's needed...

I would like to know if there's any write-ups on how to put ABS on an NON abs supra.

 

[stevenr816]

i've looked for write ups but cant find any.
i know you will have to change over the hard lines, soft lines, spindles (easiest way), actuator, computer.

but what about the wiring harness? is that built into the body harness?

Wanna sell the non abs lines and valve, if you decide to go ABS?

i'm pretty sure you can make an over ride switch just in case those times when you want to screw around or dont want it :naughty:

I don't have that problem. Maybe there's something out of whack with your abs.

i like abs, and dont like abs. it depends on what im doing etc......

btw, if you have ever read the owners manual on any abs car, it say

"ABS does not stop the car any fast, it only lets you keep control of the car in most situations, and may double the stopping distance depending on climate....."

this is why i want to put a switch on to override it somewhere, and so when your road racing, or whatever you can take it off.

but on the streets, its usually amazing

i too was going to do this to my 7mge-7mgte conversion but i decided against abs. it looked semi easy in my eyes. my car came with the ABS optional loom so all the plugs were there just needed hubs, lines, ecu, abs unit and the ??sensor for the gearbox??

Some of our jdm chassis here didnt get abs optional harnesses how about you guys in the states? do they all have that harness?

i sure hope mine has the built in harness if not i'll find a pin out and try making my own harness :naughty:

jayhall: it won't come on unless it senses lockup, sounds like it's working fine in the wet...

I never have mine come on unless I STAND on my brake pedal...

 

[stevenr816]

looks pretty easy if you have all of the sensors

 

[stevenr816]

anybody have comments????

IF you have all the parts, do it...

It's going to be a lot of work, so I'll worn you now... You'll have to mess with a LOT of items (gotta run the computer's wires, swap out spindles, ect ect ect)

 

[GeneStarWindGSW]

this just might be the reason there hasn't been a write up or anyone 1 doing it lately =P.
