I had a nice idea of fitting a Bosch ABS5.7 system into the GT40. I’ve given up on it. I just don’t have the access to the system I need to make the changes I’ll need and its just too safety critical to bodge it. Without getting too technical essentially I’d need to ‘tell’ it about the type of brake calipers as well as how fast it can slow down (under ideal conditions). That’s just for the ABS\/EBD. For TCS and DSC I’d need that plus it to integrate it with the ECU\/PCM as well as cornering ability to steering angle, roll rates and a whole load else.<\/p>\n
I plan instead to add the bits that the system would need, ie the sensors and route the rear brake lines individually (normally it would be a single line to the rear and then a splitter). Then if at some point in the future I can justifiably afford a Bosch M4 I won’t need to dismantle and rebuild half the car to get it in!<\/p>\n
That then still gives me the option of tracking wheel speeds, steering angle, G, roll and yaw.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
