integra type r dc2r abs brake bleeding

[jetdc2R]

hey people

i took my abs lines out, brake booster everything and now put all back in can i just bleed it the normal way, like normal non-abs brakes

or

is there a abs way of bleeding the brakes??

cheers

just bleed as per normal,u just need extra fluid thats all.

the only thing u have to do is pull the master cylinder back out & bench bleed it,ie make sure its level when u bleed it(not at an angle like it sits in the car),then reinstall it in the car,reattach brake lines & bleed the whole system.

ahk cause some bloke told me for abs u need a special electronic machine kool i can do it normal way kool

thx mate

Do u need ignition on ????

[CRXer]

Do u need ignition on ????

only if u need some good music while u work or u lost your matches & need to use the cig lighter.

its a failsafe system,if power lost then fluid flows as per normal thru the modulator as it does when abs not needed anyway.

lol haha nws mate thx for that

there are 2 types of ABS systems

High pressure and low pressure
DC2R should be a low pressure style, however if you have the high pressure type it will have its own brake fluid resivore then you must bleed the ABS system like this

if you have the low pressure system, simply bleed the brakes.

[CRXer]

'00 model DC2R,its low pressure

high pressure is for the ol' skool crew

[jetdc2R]

oh awesome thx mate

[ECU-MAN]

if your ABS unit looke like the one in the DIY then its High Pressure. they have an additinal fluid resivor. as CRXer said 00 onwards they are low pressure.

bleeding brakes on my itr atm, and its pretty stiff when car is off.. but once i turn it on.. it's pretty soft and spongey. Have I not bled it enough?

[ECU-MAN]

your BMC could be rooted

Re did it again today but with engine on.. something about the ABS needs power to pump the fluid through and also went in an anti clock wise direction starting from drivers side as recommended by the service manual instead of furthest to closest.

and it's pretty good. Not rock stiff yet though lol
