5-Lug Conversion - will ABS still work?

[Trondelond]

I tried searching and Googling a bit, but couldn't really find anything. I'm doing a 5-lug conversion on my EK4 (donor parts are from a 98 spec UKDM DC2).

The abs wires from the DC2 were cut, and I had some new ones for my EK4's rear lying about. However, these don't fit the DC2 parts. Which got me to thinking - will the DC2 sensors plug into the EK4 plugs and work as intended?

And if anyone has a set of rear -and probably front as these were cut and my EK ones probably won't fit - sensors gathering dust, let me know.

I am facing the same issue. I got the CTR 5 lug and am going to try and find a 2000 Integra dc2 to see if the sensors match up. The problem I keep thinking is the computer. Will it recognize the sensor or is going to be ABS hell. I know drum ABS sensors don't fit onto disc so the other option I was thinking is to locate the year I car I ( you ) have and get the sensors for that year from a donor car. Also look for the civic VTI. State side here we don't have them. Good luck man.

At the moment I've just spliced abs leads together with sensors and wires from different cars. As I didn't have any DC2 plugs lying about, I don't know if they will fit the EK4 sockets.
The sensors seem to be pretty much the same, but the wiring layout is different in the rear between the EK4 and the DC2. You can make it fit though.

Still got an ABS light on my car, but I am suspecting the ABS control unit to having hiccups. Got a working one and new leads on the way, so I'll post back when I figure something out here.

Interested in how this comes out. I have bud that has a dc2 and has ABS. I don't know if the orange connectors are the same. If the are will the rear disc sensors bolt right up to my 5 lug Ctr setup?

Well, I can confirm that the EK4 sensors and ECU work with DC2 hubs and driveshafts. So some interchangeability seems to be there. Don´t know about the plugs though, but a few minutes with a soldering iron would sort that out.
