how to convert to ABS?
I have a EJ8 96' with rear drums and want to upgrade.
I have a set of rear trailing arms with disc brakes from an EG6 but it do not have ABS.
What parts do i need to convert to ABS in the rear.
I need rear hub new, so i buy a new set with abs rings.
Can i use the old heatshields and cut a hole or do i need to buy some new?
Can i use front or rear abs sensors from ej6/8(have a set )
Tried to search, but could only fint that i should buy si rear trailing arms, but i have a set. only missing some parts i think.
Live in Norway so shipping is expencive for heavy parts, so hope i only need som new parts.

Re: how to convert to ABS?
The car has ABS, so no module needed.
I think i need:
Brake lines
Rear hub bearing w/ABS (need to buy)
ABS sensor(proberly need to buy)
Brake Shield with whole for ABS or modifie the old one.
Any one else know?

i would just get an integra trailing arm, everything is already there otherwise you would have drill and tap the holes for the abs sensor to mount on the civic trailing arm in addition to the bearing.

Re: how to convert to ABS?
To clarify for the TL;DR crowd .. also b/c I was a bit confused.
EJ6 (6th Gen) HAS ABS already, but with drum brakes in rear.
EG6 (5th Gen) rear trailing arm parts w/ disc brakes that he bought, DO NOT have ABS.
OP wants to mount EG6 discs onto his EJ6 and hook up ABS. What parts does he need to do this? NOTE: He is in NORWAY, so getting parts from an Integra is basically impossible.

Re: how to convert to ABS?
OP: Here are the parts for a 1994 USDM Si Hatchback Rear Disc Brake with and without ABS. Different part numbers *should* indicate whether that part is specific to ABS.
EDIT: Also added diagrams for BRAKE LINES and REAR LOWER ARM. That should cover it.

Re: how to convert to ABS?
The trailing arm with disc brakes came of a civic without ABS.
So it seams like i have to get:
ABS sensor and make some holes to mount it.
Modify or buy new brake shields.
New hub/bearing with ABS ring.
New brakes lines (i have )

Re: how to convert to ABS?
uh yeah that 15lbs is 2hp (abs units actual weight is 22 lbs)...you can negotiate its worth but the way i see it every bit of power i can get out of my 4 banger is worth it, as far as safety,, the abs units are installed for people that have no experience driving, just like rev limiters and the new cut your fuel off at 100mph bull crap.
DROP THE ABS UNIT ITS USELESS HEAVY AND UGLY!!!!
