Question Canceling ABS system to use Hand Brake

ok.

i tried all possible search and tried all trix to be able to do a perfect hand brake turn while maintaining the ABS system but it didnt work.

i installed a hydraulic hand brake and connected the original hand brake lamp switch to the new hand brake (which is sending signal to ACD ECU to free the center diff) and still the hand brake is not sharp enough.

i know that the ABS system has an electronic brake force distribution EBD system to control the rear wheel hydraulic control.

the car is for race use only and highly competitive unless the track requires an sharp 180 u turns.

i am confused and not sure that i am doning the correct this by canceling the ABS although i have the skill to drive the car without it.


is there any body using a hydraulic hand brake with the ABS and have no problem.

any experinced opinion will be highly appriciated.

Are you drifting? A handbrake turn will do nothing but slow you down (and make you rather dangerous on a road course). And you'll be faster with ABS than without it.

Easy... buy an RS.

Actually... have you just tried pulling the ABS fuse?

no i am not drifting the way you mean it.
but in Autox or Gymkhana (very tight tracks) the very wide turning radius of the evo is not helping at all.

considering that my car has 400+ whp i can use this power to accelerate after a hand brake u turn.

a friend of mine has an RS and he has no problem.

i am just looking if somebody solved this problem without removing the the ABS hydraulic unit. i will try removing the fuse in the morning and try if it works.
