My ABS comes on too early, someone said I can take the fuse out to disable the ABS,I have looked in the ABS fuse box, there are more than one fuse, which one to take out? Thanks

 

Not sure about the fuse, but I've disabled the ABS on my GSR by pulling the ebrake up one click and driving until the light comes on. It disables pretty quickly, but I'm not sure how bad it is for your rear pads. Of course as soon as you restart the car, it is reset, but on a per auto-x, track, etc. basis, this works.

 

I have no problem with my ABS till I fitted a set of Tein suspension on last week. Just under light braking I can feel the ABS comes on, just want to disable it fof this Sunday track. Thanks

 

I took it to Honda yesterday, they amitted the ABS comes on too early, but they said because I have changed the suspension and stainless steel brake hose, they didn't want to know about it.

 

Nice friendly response!
Notice I never mentioned the ITR's ABS system, just suggested how the GSR system works.

 

Yes no one can help

 

Nothin for nothin but, why the heck did you even mention how you rig or your GSR's ABS?

Your comments are not even related to the R or this forum or this guys question about the ITR's ABS and how it is effected by his Tein and SS brakeline setup..

Passing on poor or unclear advice could affect someone adversly, Especially on the track which is where he plans to run his car.

A.

 

he probaly mentioned it because the original poster asked how to disbale his ABS and did not mention his suspension until after vtc2nr responded so please dont attack someone especially when you are not helping out whatsoever.

In response to this, i have only heard of benefits of having the abs on a type r, i hope that someone else here is able to help you who might have the same or similar set up. I cannot see how it cn adversely affect it that much but i hope you can find out.

 

Hi George Knighton thank you for your comment, but I really have problem with my ABS. I have taken my car to track more than 5 times. My abs worked fine. After I fitted the stupid suspension then the abs started playing up. No workshop can help, that's why I come to this board if I can get an answer. Thanks again

 

True to your username?!? Do you have a DC5 ITR or a DC2?!? If it's a DC5 you're in uncharted territory and all of the advice you've recieved can be taken with a grain of salt.

 

I have a DC2, but Dc2 typeR already taken up, thats why i use DC5

 

hey stephen!....i have Tein HA on my DC2 and during spirited driving ABS works fine....hmmmm......now that you have mentioned this dilema I will go find out for myself!.....

 

It really ***** me, before it works fine, just after I fitted the Tein then.....I have rang Jacob and I will see him on the track on Sunday, will let him drive my car and see how we go, thanks anyway

 

I think you messed up one or more of the wheel speed sensors during the sus install. The ABS senses the rpm of all the four wheels and detects differences in rpm. If one or more of those sensors is giving the wrong signal (= incorrect difference in wheel rpm) ABS will kick in to prevent wheel locking ( = 0 wheel rpm).
So, check all the wheel rpm sensors and report us your findings....


BTW The distance between the sensor and the gear (sort of, it has teeth on it) is important...

Is the ABS acting on four wheels evenly?

 

Actually it's not a "rig" job. It's a feature that Honda implemented because ABS sucks *** in certain situations. There are a number of tests with ABS cars with it enabled then disabled on snow/gravel/etc and with ABS disabled the cars stopped shorter on certain types of pavement, etc.

I *believe* this still works on 97 ITRs, but not on 98+. I would have to test in a friends 97 though to be sure.

 

Now, if you installed an ITR ABS computer in a GSR, would the results be similar?

 

huh? I was mad before? Is you old age getting to you?

And since you know everything about me, you OBVIOUSLY know that I have never driven an R with ABS on the track and one without ABS on the track, and definetly not offroad right? Always makes me wonder how people I've never met always seem to know (or assume in reality) what I've done or not done.

As some one who has went off track at 110mph without ABS and stopped the car in a *very* short amount of time (before pavement started again, which is about 150 feet from where I went off) in a GS-R (which as we know has WORSE brakes than a ITR) I'm willing to bet that if I take your ITR (or a friends) off at the same point at the same speed with ABS I would not stop before that pavement, I am willing to say that disabling ABS in certain conditions in NOT a bad thing.

It's an OK system, it's not really that great (Talking about the ITR system, not 94-97 integra non-ITR). (my opinion of course)

Why apologize? He selected email notification, not your fault that the thread gets bastardized by FL/NC crew

-Dave, who is still not mad. hehe

 

No Comment... Just wanted to get in on the bastardization!

 

Just to settle your question. I've driven ITRs on the track with ABS, but am careful with others cars and did not have off-track joy with them.

Maybe I'll disable Zyg's ABS and go offtrack with his car at the expo, right Ed? lol (j/k ed!!!!!)

 

[QUOTE]No Comment... Just wanted to get in on the bastardization! [/QUOTE

hell yeah. Bastardization r0x j00! ]

 

Which Tein did you put on? I had a similar scenario when I put Tein HA on my DC2R last summer. The rebound (is it rebound or dampen?) was set too hard (2 from hardest) and thus causing ABS to kick in too early. Once I put it to 5 clicks, voila, no more ABS. I think I have 11K spring in front but not sure, have to check on that.

 

And it clearly wasn't j00!

Hi there, I have Tein RE with F14K, R10k both with 8 clicks from hardest, I don't think this cause the problem, I have fitted the original suspenion back on, the ABS still comes on too early. I think it is the sensors problem, but the ABS light didn't come on.
