Can I use one port for front and one for rear? Are both ports equal pressure? Can I hook up just the fronts to the two ports? Otherwise I need t-adapters? Thanks

There are like 3 recent threads that discuss this, did you even search?

No. No, you didn't search.

Unless the car is going to be track only, don't do a F/R split, lest something go wrong and you **** someone.

Odd, I can search from my cell phone. ****, I could search from my first gen BB curve back when I had it.

I'm calling shenanigans on your inability to search.

I checked all the posts. I still cant find out if and what will happen if I run the front brakes seperatley to each of the two ports and totally bypass the rear. what will happen if I hook up the lines to the stock booster and mc?

what the ****? why?
the brakes on a sho work just fine.
our 92 with the 11.6 front rotors and stock rear would lock all four tires without an issue.
the ABS would go off all the time.

what on earth are you trying to do?

go buy a honda to screw up.

Talk to Zach, he just converted abs to non-abs.

And some people just prefer no abs, I suppose mainly people that drove alot of years w/o it before it came along. and if it isn't working it may be easier/cheaper to delete than fix. I much prefer my non-abs '89 over my abs '93 for MN winter driving.

I don't have time money and parts to fix the big nasty octopuss. The rears currently don't work anyways. If no one had any info then I guess I'll just hook up direct lines from the fronts to the two ports. I plugged the abs oil line. Hope I don't **** myself with a trial and error

Ok well ill try not to be a total dick and will try to explain things.

I converted my drag car from ABS to Non ABS because it free's up space in the engine compartment, removes a LOT of wiring from under the hood and Drops the weight a little bit.

The easiest way is to find a NON ABS Taurus Doner car. and use the Booster, master cylinder and all the hard brake lines from the master all the way to the rear proportioning valve.

here is some pics.

Abs lines on left, non abs on the right.

Both rears don't work at all as in no braking in the rear? That could possibly be caused by a bad proportioning valve in the rear or the hoses pinched off from rust at the clamp that holds them to strut.

Why would you even want to do this?

I don't have time money and parts to fix the big nasty octopuss. The rears currently don't work anyways. If no one had any info then I guess I'll just hook up direct lines from the fronts to the two ports. I plugged the abs oil line. Hope I don't **** myself with a trial and error
What the actual ****...

No one gives two ***** about you Darwining yourself, but we do care about the innocents out there who weren't able to get out of the way of your stupidity in time and end up hurt as a result.

I really, really wish I knew where you lived, I'd drop dime on you to your local PD myself.

Fix your brakes properly, and if you can't afford to, stop driving the car until you can. Your stupidity is going to get someone killed.

Zach, I was all impressed that you had figured out that rats nest of brake lines all by yourself. Then I saw the purple subframe....

I picked up a tenth in the 1/4 with purple runners. So my logic says purple makes you faster

I really did laugh out loud at that. The purple subframe must have saved you another two tenths, right?
