Has anyone installed ABS on an ACVW?

[Rob]

I just read an article in VolksWorld (I think) about a company that's going to build an ABS kit... I'll see if I can find it.

My 944T Cup brake set-up has the complete ABS set-up as well, but the abs-pump was heavy and i decided back then not to hook it up. Too much extra brake lines as well plus I feel I don't really need it on the track.

this months hot vw's has a really nice turbo fuel injection cover car sitting on fiksies wheels. They installed a traction control system on the car by using a speed sensor on each hub. The system also has a dash adjustable nob. Not exactly abs but still a cool system that could possible tie in with abs.

Well, you don't need a speed sensor on each hub for that. Just one on a driven and one on a non-driven wheel will do.
I have just tried that with my DTA-ecu, which supports full traction control, but the sensor-ring of the abs is too small. ie has too many teeth per circle..
I have now mounted a universal Hall-effect sensor and welded 4 bigger teeth on the hub, but no succes yet in recieving a signal, not even for using at as a speedo...
But I will keep at it till it does work. At least launch control is manually working, which is usefull with a turbo as you can keep the turbo spinning with WOT while the ecu holds the engine at a given rpm.
But I am wondering off

Yes it was Volksworld, the black Oval cover car was built by the owner of Tygan Speedsters in the UK and they sy they are using the car as a test bed for developments including ABS...

Current issue? May have to have a peek. Have been thinking about it and everyone's interest seems to coem and go with it. If you wanted a 3 circuit system (2 fronts and on rear, or vice versa) a lot of the older stand alone systems would work. Volvo was one I considered, but there is much argument about it all and what would and would not work. I'd be interested to see a definitive answer
