    Mk3 VR6 Abs removal

    Hey guys, As the title says, has anyone done it?
    i have just acquired a VR racecar and the abs has been removed due to being unpredictable.
    It still retains the stock master and booster
    i am fitting a manual bias valve and getting rid of the factory proportioning valve.
    Do i need to swap the booster and master with a GL mk3 unit or can u run the existing master and booster?
    Any one who has experince in this i would appreciate your input!!
    Cheers

    If my memory serves me correctly, a Mk3 GL was fitted with ABS as standard (which my 96 Vento GL has), a Mk3 CL was not fitted with ABS (which my 97 CL does not have). Not sure how the CL brake master and booster would go with trying to stop a VR6 (beyond my level of amateurish tinkering).

    I've ran all the abs pump/lines with ecu and sensors removed. Was fine.

    Currently have a mk2 vr with no abs pump etc, but vr prop valve in back.

    Sounds promisingthink it will be a bit of trial and error.

    Got the VR beam and prop valve in the back, no pump etc.
    cant recall what booster I ran, seems ok, but not great. think thats more to do with brakes needing a bleed, new pads in the rear, and mismatch front pads and rotors
