View Full Version : Coyote / EPS / ABS / power brakes
Looking for a photo for mounting ideas.
Tight fit for them all - plan on the saturn EPS, Whitby power brakes, ABS, w a coyote!
Anyone done that? Hate to have to mount the ABS in the trunk....... ;)

Here is a picture for the mounting of my ABS module (see my build thread, post 39):
68011
There are other pictures of the ABS in the thread also. Some builders have mounted the unit on the X cross member in front of the engine.
Power brakes is a nice feature but in my opinion the upgraded Wilwood brakes are plenty good. When you add power brakes you loose the ability to dial in the front/rear braking force using the balance bar in the Wilwood setup. I spent some time this past week dialing in the rear bias and I thought the car stopped well before but when the rear bias is correct the stopping is amazing and the ABS is seldom activated. Before getting it correct, the ABS would take over on the left front most of the time in a hard stop. Using a 100 foot lot line on a country road for test spot, I can get it stopped from 60 mph within the lot lines. I would need to set up a more accurate test area to get actual results but there are posts from other members of the same type test where they can stop from 60 mph in about 90 ft. I don't think the pedal effort to do this is excessive but it is greater than the DD and about the same as I remember on my earlier car without power brakes.

I mounted my ABS pass side in front of engine. Its the place that the breeze battery box would go. My battery is in the trunk.

Not true, there is plenty of room in there for a Vacuum brake booster, I have two Coyotes here now with them.

Interesting. I guess whomever I spoke with didnt know what they were talking about
Yeah you scared me with the whitby comment but just spent 2 hrs this evening installing it.

Think I need an engine bay stretcher!
