wiring loom ecu and abs problem
stripping my donor yesterday, came across large amount of special boxes etc, but one got me worried. the abs box. I am planning to use the original
ecu for ease of installation but will there be problems if i take this abs box and associated wiring out of the equation? what should i do with this?
also does anyone have a list of things needed for our cars so i know which parts of the loom to keep and which to throw away?
thanks al

I'd doubt it will be a problem unless the car has traction control as well " which is unlikely on this age of car".
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

it should be fine. if your not sure, run the engine in car and just unplug stuff. if the engine stops, youve gone too far!

If you take the loom out of the car, I think you will find that the ABS system is, (apart from the 12v supply), not connected into anything else, so
it can be, (carefuly), removed from the loom. You may consider using the ABS pump on your build, this will work as a seperate unit and will give you
power brakes, I have on mine and the brakes are dynamite. Cheers Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy
