Disabling ABS


Flat4

Recommended Posts

Want to know how to disable the ABS for track use and for gymkhanas but google isn\'t giving me a straight up answer as to what fuse or fuses need to be pulled. Can anyone give me a heads up so I can go and do some J turns?

Car is a 1997 Legacy GTB

Cheers

Just pull the relay from the ABS unit in the engine bay. I used to do it for events as have others.

How different is it as opposed to with?

Pretty different, with ABS I tended to over brake... i.e brake too late and too hard then lose all momentum.

Brake pads would disappear pretty quick as a result. With ABS the pedal would go solid round fast corners

when the wheels were slipping... I guess it was trying to prevent more of a slide, but I didn\'t like it.

I didn\'t know which relay under the hood was the ABS one so I just whipped the two ABS fuses out from the fuse box under the dash. One of them took out the power steering as well so put that back in and all sorted. lol

Does the warning light stay on?

I get the abs light glaring 30 seconds after a skid and stays on till I turn the car off then on and drive 100m or so

Im sure you know how to wire the CEL to the ABS by now to make it completely legit for WOF purposes.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
