SPEED 3 awd conversion

I have a few questions:
Have you had any issues with your ABS setup?
Did you cut the stock rear ABS sensor harness to install the CX-7's?
I looked at the wheel bearing that you used for the front passenger side and the description doesn't say if it has an abs magnetic strip or not, so does it work?

Thanks.
 
Well I have been silent for a while now, but unfortunately I sold the car. it'll be located in Toledo area. I just don't really have the time like I did now that I got this new job. I could have just let it sit and sit but someone else is gonna finish what I started sadly, probably for the better as it'll actually GET finished. but I mean it was mostly there just some little stuff here and there. but now ill be on to something else but I don't know yet.

How did you wire the AWD controller? Where did you get signals from?

Well im nearly there, I had a few vacation days from work so I took it and worked on the car. As of now im waiting on my custom rear diff controller to arrive, it takes awhile when its coming from Russia.

The car is running now, though idle is a tad lean. Its probably my tune as its still for the k04 turbo and 2 port boost controller, although I'm gonna get a log and check for leaks, just to rule that out, Or maybe the fuel system itself im not to sure yet.

I did use the speed 6 slave just for ease of mind, the speed 3 plastic one is just known to break. I bled the system, went and felt the pedal and SNAP the clutch master just broke.. ohh well you win some you lose some.

Hopefully next weekend will be the test drive.

Don't mind the OG probe wheels, I didn't have nothing else to use. View attachment 17337 View attachment 17338 View attachment 17339 View attachment 17340 View attachment 17341 View attachment 17342

Did the subframe use the speed 3 mounting points

yes it uses the same bolt holes as the speed 3 subframe, that is IF you are using a CX-7 subframe.

Why would you have to change evap to do awd?

Don't have to do really anything with it except move the canister and re-route some hoses.

Try checking the fuel filters by the fuel cell before the lift pumps. I had to clean them twice (little metal screens).
 
Did you have to change the rear diff gear ratio of the cx7 or does it match the speed 6 ratio in the front just starting to track down parts todo a swap and trying to find that info I can’t anyway

How did you end up doing the wiring? Tap into CAN HI/LO signals from the BCM to route into your controller? Fun fact but these cars do come with a yaw sensor built into them like the speed 6’s
 
Does the front passenger side wheel bearing have an ABS ring? I looked up the part number and it doesn't look like it does. My car was really unresponsive when I had a bad ABS sensor, so that might be your problem.

I'm also doing an AWD conversion but I got a custom axle made so I can retain the factory wheel bearing and ABS setup.
