ABS (at least on my Volvo) is an independant ECU.
It relies upon four hall sensors, one on each wheel. Assuming the Hall sensors can be mounted properly and can be made to affectively send a signal, is there an aftermarket ECU system specifically for ABS brakes? Rich |

You must do a lot of driving in the snow to want ABS (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . Sounds difficult, but WTH, go for it if you really want ABS.

Sounds difficult, but WTH, go for it if you really want ABS. Have you autoxed a car with really good modern ABS? It's too cool! Just keep your foot in the go pedal way longer than you think you should, and then bury the woah pedal. And a really good system will even let you trail into a turn with the car staying perfectly poised and balanced. No lock up, no over rotation, just tuck right into the turn right up to the apex. Then it's right back onto the go pedal again... I've thought about it a number of times. It is a competitive advantage. Not that a non-ABS car can't do the same, but it's soooo much easier... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) If it wasn't a competitive advantage, why would F1 teams (among others) have tried to incorporate it into the cars before it was banned? -Josh2 |
