Hi All

 

I need to fit wheel speed / ABS sensors to my hillclimb Mini. 

 

Before I embark on (for me) a major technical mission, were any of the road cars fitted with ABS / road speed sensors or has anybody fitted these to their Mini? 

 

Thanks

none fitted to the Mini.

 

Ok so now the question what are you actually fitting?

 

 

I have fitted wheel speed sensors to a "mini" before but it all depends on the application.

is it for a trip meter???

Try Trigger-Wheels.com for the wheels and possibly the pick-ups.

For launch and traction control.

For launch and traction control.

simple IIRC you only really need a single trigger on the a rear wheel.

 

think we just had a magnet attached to a drum.

[Avtovaz]

is that for all 4 wheels then?

 

interested as when i do finally get my project car, id like to hide abs on it ...

for traction wont you need to know real car speed and driven wheel speed?

nope. just engine speed and real ground speed (non driven wheel)

Thanks for the replies everybody. I think the ECU (Emerald K6+) measures speed of driven and non driven wheels so all 4 will be best.

it says up to.

 

does not mean you have to. good on a car that has ready to read abs sensors but a pain id you have nothing to start with.

 

manual read before spending money that is not needed.

I'd have to measure at least three. One non driven and both driven wheels.

why?

 

all you need is one non driven and the engine. or have people gone and made things more complex in the last 25 years.

ECU measures speed of wheels and (depending on parameters) will cut fuel / ignition if one wheel is spinning faster than another. The non driven wheel is the one that the front is measured against if that makes sense.
