Need info on line lock on a fd. Has anyone done this, if so witch one did you go with. I was toll that you cant use line lock with abs brakes. any info would help. Thanks Tony

 

you have to eliminate ABS

 

I almost ordered one until I saw the disclaimer not for use on abs equipped vehicles. I've thought about it. Could you just pull the abs fuse out when you wanted to use it? it may be that there is no way to hook it up.

 

Have you done it to your 7. Do you just remove the fuse or the fitting don't fit. If anyone knows how to hook it up we would sure appreciate the info. Thanks Tony

 

PM vosko, he installed one in his car. He should be able to answer most of your question's.

 

I heard that you can use it on a ABS but its where you place it. I want to say that in a previous thread someone mentioned that the line lock has to go after the ABS. This is somthing that I am not to sure of tho. I need to do more research on this becuse I would like to put a line lock on my LS1 FD.

 

i have a friend that just installed one on his miata, and i'm 99% sure he still has ABS

 

...and? Could you ask him for details?

 

It would make sense that it would work if you could install it after the ABS module- problem is the front brakes are split form there- so you would need two solenoids I would think. Also, you will probably throw an ABS light/code if you do a long burnout since it will see the rear tires in motion and not the fronts and think the sensors are bad up front.

Thanks guys for help, Keep info comming. Tony

 

Any more info.

 

good ol' google:

Fortunately, conventional wisdom is way off the mark. The fact of the matter is that ABS is activated only when the brake pedal is depressed, so a Roll Control can be installed between the master cylinder and the ABS module. As long as the driver's foot isn't on the brake pedal during a burnout, the ABS controller doesn't know that the rear wheels are spinning while the front wheels are locked. Consequently, whether a vehicle is equipped with a standard braking system or ABS, the Roll Control function is identical.

 

Just remove the abs fuse, it works

 

I have no problem holding the car with the brake pedal pushed down and the rear wheels spinning. My ABS is fully functional. Then again I'm not a professional drag racer either.

 

That way also works, you just get more oomph when pulling the fuse.
