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.

 

*cries*

 

Dang....... All that hard work to not enjoy it! What a shame... Did you at least make bank? Lol

 

Dang! Well let them know about the forum and your thread!

 

*new owner

He told me about the forum now, the car is located in Ohio for the time being

 

Welcome! Lots of documentation posted here. Upload pictures and videos of your progress too!

 

Glad you joined and man what a unique car you have for sure!

 

Welcome to mso! Looking forward to hopefully seeing updates, best wishes on the project.

 

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

 

He came and he is gone. Shame

 

Trying to troubleshoot, car keep idiling down and not wanting to respond to throttle inputs, and make the fuel pressure it demands

 

Hello friend, I am in the process of awd to my speed 3, I see myself in the problem of knowing if I eliminate the evap system or keep it, could you advise me?

 

Why would you have to change evap to do awd?

 

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.

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.
