What happens when you spend $10,000 on Anti Lock Brakes 

I've always wanted to see Rob's abs

Rob you're looking young, great and stress free, that means its time for some 6 rotor content 🙃

The wild thing about watching Rob's videos is you'll sometimes find yourself watching a movie about ABS installation.

Seeing Rob grow from the original rainbow spaghetti loom to fully sealed milspec has been mana from heaven for my soul. Our little boys all grown up 😭😄

The quality and caliber of work you guys pump out in such a short time without a staff of 30 people is quite literally astonishing.

I'd be extremely careful with that Wilwood pedal box. if the balance bar is 3/8-24 thread like some of their other ones, it can and will bend or break with ABS since you can basically apply an infinite amount of pressure to the pedal without lockup, unlike non-abs. And trust me, when you brake too late in a corner or someone spins in front of you on the track, you do apply as much force as you can if the car isn't slowing fast enough. I've had two fail, and i know of other failures as well. I have videos of the bolt flexing under normal pressure if you care to see it. Tilton and other manufacturers use at least a 7/16" bolt for this reason.

This is the only channel where an hour long video feels like 20 minutes keep up the good work.

It's fun to see creators leave in, accidentally or intentionally, little things here and there from their fun outside the topic they're a creator on. Pretty sure the audience is nearly all car guys, I am myself, didn't expect Rob to be a fellow Star Citizen. (52:50 you can see the icon on the desktop)

Can't wait to see this back on track after this crazy upgrade.

This crew has to be the best youtube mechanics. I havent seen anyone else that can do full custom wiring harnesses, full custom brakes, welding, tube chassis, full engine customization, making weird engine swaps work with factory body harnesses, tuning on the computers, custom drivetrains, literally anything possible at this point

"my buddie Niel sent me these in exchange for... sexual favors" 15:34 i love you Rob lol

Isaiah never fails to impress with his beautifully fabricated parts and his beautifully sculpted body

Tryhards: remove ABS from their track cars because they think they're Kimi Räikkönen Rob: Installs ABS because he's humble and realizes the threshold braking meme is just that, a meme, because if you think you can out brake ABS you can't because a pro would never say he could but "it depends on the conditions"

Yay electronics talk time from an electronics engineer! @25:20 when you are talking about how the wheel speed sensor works. Its changing the current in the loop based on the magnetic field. Using Ohms law V=IR, if the current across the resistor in series in the loop is changing, the the voltage across the resistor (what you are measuring) also has to change. So you're still reading an analogue signal signal. It just works in a different way.

Rob thanks for the free and open sharing of what you learn as you go along on your projects.

Rob's explanation about the electrical has got more cutaways than a Liam neeson fight scene.

really excited to see how you put ABS on this, the only aftermarket ABS systems i've ever seen is people using C5 vette units!

I love this format of your videos 1hr+ of car building feels like I’m watching a movie of just everything any car guy loves with all the knowledge in the world. Thank you 🙏

I replaced every single wire in my car doing essentially what Rob is doing. I used tefzel and mil-spec wires with duetsch connectors. Thankfully my car is 50 years old so I have fewer circuits, but I would say the shrink tube is the toughest part. Trying to put 10ft of wire through the shrink tube is a pain.

Dude Rob, I’ve been waiting for another badass wiring video! I loved your videos on concentric twisting. You NEVER see anyone via RU-vid do that (I know it’s much more expensive and seems useless since there’s “dummy wires”, but I thoroughly enjoy it), and it honestly shocks me you don’t see it more often. Keep up the killer content! Can’t wait for even more about the billet housings you’re building. So sick! I would love to see you become the Steve Morris for rotaries. Also, dude… it’s time to completely re-wire your cars, considering you know how to concentric twist now gotta love #HPAcademy

Damn this is some legit racecar tech. Rob is such a car nerd to the point of ocd and it’s so relatable. As always this content is incredible.

Look forward to watching this, would love motorsport ABS, unfortunately, like a swquential gearbox, its a bit out of reach but on the must have list.

Very nice, the same block did Philipp Kaess install in his lightweight Abarth last year, an enormous advantage. You guys with sensor-fetish should combine 🙂 Good Luck and have fun.

Wake up samurai! New Rob Video just dropped 🔥 and it’s the 3Rotor yes!

I work for Continental. Super proud to see a product that I've worked on go into such an awesome project!!

I was half anticipating a blueballs cliff-hanger for the ending. What a massive difference that ABS module has made!

I genuinely enjoy how Rob leaves in what is often overlooked and under appreciated in automotive sports from the viewer perspective. So much can be learned from the bits most channels would cut out for fear of loosing viewership where as Rob just says screw it this is important too.

as a electrical engineer i must say love the wiring stuff, you do it the most correct way possible.

You guys are seriously one of kind. Sick build y’all.

Great episode, outstanding effort by all involved! Gotta admit, I absolutely love your long form content. I feel like I get a better chance to settle down and actually absorb and enjoy! Keep up the great work team!

Love the wiring videos! Your harnesses just keep getting better and better and it's awesome to see that improvement!

The level of tech that goes into one of these builds is mind blowing. This channel actually holds my interest enough to learn about skill i probably won't ever need lol.

Working on the tune for my car right now as i watch some rob dahm, hes been my inspiration to learn how to tune and build cars! Seeing my racecar idol grow and learn is so cool

Love your videos Rob. I love that your philosophy mirrors my own when it comes to doing jobs. I like your process.

Loving this episode, very informative! Well done Rob, Ethan, Isaiah and Jo. Looking forward to see how the update work ln track

Crazy that i was just looking at the bosch abs system and Rob puts one out by rsx abs. More knowledge for me tonight.

Rob your videos are something that I can't find anywhere else. Such trick stuff and a great source of knowledge. I'm very much a guy who loves going fast but more than that I appreciate the engineering that goes into motorsports and building race cars and there is not a single channel out there that encapsulates that better than yours. Very grateful for the videos. Thank you.

I do commercial vehicle diagnostics and our abs and roll stability stuff is cool as hell to see it working, tie that in to see what you do all the time makes it pretty epic.

Good vid Rob, nice work on the harness. The wiring is interesting to I assume most other people here we avoid wiring as much as possible. Really shows that when you set your mind to something and put in the work learning the in's and out you can accomplish anything. As a fan of the track I really like this content about how to turn a street car into a track weapon. Keep it coming. Werd up Fab Daddy! nice work as usual.

Rob mate, your love of what you do is amazing. Also, you've given me an awsome canbus tip. I use CAN on my 3D printers and I had no idea I could use one 240Ohm resistor instead of terminating with two 120s for testing. Going to make my bench flashing so much less annoying.

Crazy how different the 3 rotor is now compared to when I first started watching. Keep on daddy Dahm!

Bout time I’ve been eagerly waiting for a new video !

your wiring gets cleaner and cleaner every recap. nice work

I worked in the factory that made his Valve Block for 10 years. That’s a Mk 100. The tolerance’s on those blocks are less than the width of a human hair. They used to check the tolerances using lasers, but you can only scan the outside of the blocks. Back in 2021ish, they bought a Cat-Scan machine to scan the whole block sample and have the computer measure them. A ton of tech goes into making sure those blocks work right all the time and every time!

1 hour of my life well spend ! Thank you for the content. Amazing stuff.

cutting all the wire out, wow. always balls deep on this channel. awesome content

This aircraft mechanic is so proud of you guys applying EWIS. Yor great work deserves it!

10 seconds lap time right there! Great work and excellent channel content. Keep up the good work :) Thanks!

great video, i appreciate all the info you share with us!

Volvo V70 has a racing grade ABS unit that works wonders for everything short of GT3 racing.

You are so frickin inspiring!!!!! I want to do stuff to your quality level. I’ve only been working on cars for about 2years now and the first project I did was to ls swap a Volvo 240. And I want the final product to be like yours. Love your vids❤

Great job like always! Always learning!

the best sound rotor on the internet cant wait to finish my build keep doing an amazing work Rob

53:00 canbus gas 120 ohm resistors on each end in parallel. To emulate the canbus you have to replace it with a 60 ohm resistor, not a 240 ohm... if 2 resistors are the same, in series it's double the resistance and in parallel it's half

Bro.. huge respect for Isaiah's tube work.

16:11 that pump design is genius!

the custom hard brake line bending montage was awesome!

Yes a Rob video! Was hoping for an update on the custom Rotary engine

Appreciate the knowledge shared, never a bad time to learn!

Huge respect for the shoutout to your Dad, enjoy every moment with him m8 👍

Looking trim Rob! All thanks to AG1 😉

Yall are an incredible team.

Hi Rob! I'm an electrician from Australia and id like to give you a small tip or a time saver for your wire pair twisting. When needing to do that on electrical switch gear we use a battery drill. Put the two wires in the chuck of the drill and tighten down. Make sure the other end of the pair are firmly in your connector in the vice, stand back so the wires are not slack and then very gently use the drill and that will twist them for you very neatly. Love all your videos and hope this little tip helps you out in future! Cheers!

This video was so entertaining An educational I wish some other motorsport RU-vidrs that do builds would watch your videos to see how it’s done not talk too much not do two little just right

A one hour video?! Oh how blessed we are!

I love Rob Dahm videos

Isaiah killed those brake lines Awesome video

when the product you buy comes in a case like that, you know it isnt cheap 😂

Congrats joel mate!

Sweet sweet job my man

3 rotor sounding nutty af

Suspension geometry, weight transfers, braking efficiency are so important for grip and braking distance. Installing fittings in your module port holes will prevent having to tap/insert in case you strip threads connecting your lines in the future.

Thank you for tightening your hitch ball! I can rest easier now knowing you guys wont lose all of your hard work and expensive new trailer and possibly lives lost over a completely preventable issue that is a simple fix. Also great job on all of your hard work and expertise. Excellent job on the harness to Rob, Excellent work with the fabrication Isaiah, Ethan god job. Joel congratulations. I sincerely doubt you guys have time to read this but if you do... keep up the good work! God bless

I saw the car at gridlife laguna and noticed how shiny the abs unit was. This explains a lot lol

The Sensor setup you're talking about around 25 minutes is just a basic voltage divider circuit. Sensors in general are just materials that have varied resistances of a predictable amount to a certain input(temp, light, in this case magnetism). Don't know much about vehicle sensors but all sensors work this way in one way or another, whether the second resistance is baked into the sensor itself or into the device reading it.

Finally the wiring madness ❤

Perfectly executed explanation on abs!

I never thought rob would ever get ABS, as ABSurd as it sounds, it’s ABSolutey astonishing to see the change

I swear out of the many car channels I watch, this is the only one where I think wait what ?? and then tap back 40 Seconds to listen again. Thank you for sharing this adventure. Oh and never has heat shrink been so sexy 🤭

Genius on wiring.

thats so sick. i would love a deep dive video explaining what the abs unit needs and how to integrate it with other systems. i have wanted to do an abs retrofit but assumed i always needed the whole computer setup from donor vehicle. i also wonder if that software works with abs units from cars.

Rob seeing you doing all this realy makes me want to go down the rabbit hole of Rotary swappig my S2000 xD

Wow! Long video but worth viewing from start to the end!

All of this sounds like my Lexus 2nd gen GS300. I mean literally! The ABS is so integrated into the performance of the engine it's astounding.

The hole saw deal.....lol.....I'll drill a hole through a piece of wood, and clamp it to the area I need to use the hole saw on, and it acts as a guide when you don't have a pilot hole.

I have this same system waiting to go in my time attack car, looking forward to see some follow-up tuning of the system on track! Also, to see if the DSC does anything?

Abs warning goes to you dash light. And the abs failure goes to ecu. I’m so glad I watch you do this. They really really hide all the information about how it works. I went and pulled old expired patients to have more information.

FD goals! Best car RU-vidr! We’re not just watching someone scream at the camera about their rare JDM parts.

I’m most impressed with how quickly you can grow a beard in an hour 🙌🏼

It's amazing how that same generator case is also used for a brand called Pulsar. I have one, same power rating, same exact remote, etc. Panels are identical, it's just a different color.

Looking good Rob, abit late on the video but been busy. I like the whole ABS thing but it's so freaking expensive :( About the brakes and stopping of the car. The ABS will help alot, but at higher speeds they will slip at a point in time without the proper grip. I see that you have been using "street" tires for the track. Get some street slicks that is allowed on the street and works very well on the track, i have run Yokohamas and Toyo R888's over the years and it helps alot. What also needs to be added is bigger brakes at the rear to compensate for the fronts. And adding a brake adjuster to the rear, if you can do that with the new unit it would be great. As you want the rears to "lock" at just abit more pressure then the front. When i was racing the 4 rotor, i did just have a brake box and no abs or anything. And with the adjustments we found the point of where it would lock the brakes in the rear at about 10-15% more pressure on the pedal. So it's important to get that balance right. As you would be amazed how much extra braking force you get with a proper adjusted rear balance. Also for the weight and size of the car, do 11-12 inch in the rear with 315 or bigger, and atleast 10" with 295's in the front. That will not slip on a track even without ABS :) About the dry sump tank, figure out where you are missing weight and try and put it there. Some do put it in the rear of the car. In the wheel well on the passenger side does work as well. And about the oil cooling, what i did was use a Y to split the oil comming off the Drysump pump and run seperate lines in to each cooler, then spread the oil in the front and rear after the filter. That kept the oil cool and chill. Never saw about 88 degreece celcius on the track. Comming off the track was another story, so make sure to put a fan on the coolers to cool down the oil once you are not going too fast. As the temps will rise fast to 110 decreeece celcius after just a minute or so. And with a slow cooldown lap it will be over 100 with no fans once your are in the pits. Oh and like others are stating, try and get a brake pedal box that is not willwood, some of them can't handle all the pressure and i have seen one brake during braking on the track aka no brakes :(

"I'm doing this half assed, properly" this is when you can do a job correctly but it's on your own stuff.

16:20 I have one of those 🤣 but I only use the buildin one if I’m in the tent or there is no pomp , I think those are made for backpackers to save space 🤷🏼‍♂️

Watching in 4K feels wrong 😂

i bet you could also use that abs unit to keep the front brakes pressure retained after letting off the pedal, giving you line lock

Rob that ecu connector that goes onto the abs pump is also used by JCB for there ecu’s they have lots of problems with bad connections on the pins make sure the pins are tight onto the male pins

as a machine builder. Zip ties are indeed your friend. I regularly go though a 1000 standard + however many small and long ones a month. Then there are those months where I go though way more then that. Also the twisted pair is indeed for signal intererty. (same with internet cabling) It works by making sure both have the same interferance so it automaticly compensates for it

Hey rob. Do you ever plan to ship out the pateron hoonicorn blood from the race a few years ago? Or the badges? Thanks -on behalf of all of us

That price is insane! That looks like a box of factory components in many passenger vehicles. I’m willing to bet that you could have something comparable using factory parts and making your own program

Bosch recently introduced IPB. Brake master and ESP/ABS in a single unit. It's only a little bigger than a regular ESP/ABS unit.
