hey im doing a 16v engine conversion from a mk3 16v donor car with abs, and putting into a 1.4 shell without any abs, and wandering how hard a job it is moving it all over, and what this involves or can it just be disconnected and would that be easier? cheers . James. :smiley:

You need to uprate the brakes so why not swap it in if you have a doner car.
-
yeah im swapping the axels over, im simply wandering what wiring up abs into a non abs car involves.

Swap the whole loom over and you should be fine.

Making ABS work on a mk3 with it factory fitted is hard enough!
-
is it possible to just remove it when doing the conversion?

I would say yes but you need a non abs set up master cylinder.

of just put the 16v on the road
-
putting the 16v on the road is not an option, and could anyone give me detailed instructions in either removing the whole unit, or moving it over to the 1.4 shell please?

haynes manual is your best bet but im sure insurance will be more then a normal 16v will be

its easy to fit without abs, just fit the front brakes, wishbones and driveshafts from the ABF donor and dont fit any of the abs stuff. change the master cylinder for a 22mm one off a mk2 16v/g60 or mk3 with 256+ brakes and no abs. cheap from GSF so dont bother getting a 2nd hand one buy new.
