Default Suggestions about ABS on car I'm swapping...

Thinking about pulling the ABS system from the project I am working on.

It's a 95 EX Sedan. I will be putting a fully built turbo swap in the car. The only tracking I will be doing is straight line.

Anyways, I wanted some opinions on whether I should pull it or not and what all has to be done?

I assume I will need a new booster and master cylinder along with possible lines. What else would I need? Anything?

Anyone using one of the booster delete brake setups? I've heard mixed reviews about them.
I can get one for the price of a new booster and mc.

Or should I just keep the ABS?

What do you think?

Unless you really need to remove it for clearance issues I'd just leave it being as it's a pain in the *** to remove it properly. (requires replacing all the hard lines, prop valve etc, MC, booster etc)

It's the only thing in the engine bay right now, so it wouldn't be terrible to remove it. And I could pretty easily get the hard lines and prop valve from a donor LS integra.

I've just heard bad things about Honda ABS systems from before 2001. Afraid I am going to keep it and then have problems with it later on..

You have to remove the front subframe and the fuel tank to swap the hardlines (ask me how I know) which isn't horrible or anything, but it can be a bit of a nuisance.

All I remember hearing about was Integra ABS pumps buzzing. For the most part I think they're reasonable reliable (more more so than GM systems anyway)

Really? Didn't know that. Hmm.

I bought the car as a shell, so I'm not positive it even works. It has no harness or ecu that I can even test yet. I think I will get a harness and hook everything up to see if it works before I decide on anything.

Appreciate the time.

Do the orange plugs just plug in to the stock harness? Thinking it must go in to the plugs that are capped on my hatch..

Pics for reference..

If I keep ABS, I will need ABS axles, right?

Assuming you want the ABS to work yes.
