I want ABS (......enventually) the fronts are coupe all out, arms, hubs, struts, shafts, calipers. the coupe ABS sensors are on the front, they physically fit the bravo module, but arent compatible ![frown frown](/forum/images/graemlins/default/frown.gif) the rears are bravo arms (which are the same), hubs and sensors, coupe calipers, struts, springs, ARB. i cant fit the rear coupe hubs with the bravo sensors, and i dont have any coupe rear sensors. i supose i could fit the coupe hub without any sensors, until i get a compatible ABS module and rear sonsors i need to find a (or which) coupe ABS module will be compatible with my donors ecu? anyone know how? are all the ABS units interchangable? are all sensors interchangable? anyone know?

Your car has a factory-installed ABS? If your Bravo is MK1 (like mine) and has factory-installed ABS, he is Teves. Coupe is fitted Bosch ABS system! I hope I'm not mistaken, but Coupe and Bravo sensors had different ohmic resistance! If you want I can measure (Saturday) the resistance of the sensors on Bravo? In my case, ABS system works beautifully with sensors from Bravo( I kept the original Teves system). My car runs one year with Bravo hubs, and now with Coupe hubs fitted with my old original ABS sensors from Bravo. Rear'm not doing anything (my Bravo is HGT ) and I have no idea what the difference between Coupe and Bravo.

Cheers Kaci,
Yes, it has factory ABS, but mine is a MK1 1.8HLX, which i think is where the problem lies, the HGT and coupe use the same ABS setup? (calling JBT, Turbo J, can anyone confirm?) were your hubs the same? cause mine are different!
(pic to follow)
unfortunately the coupe sensors are not compatible with the 1.8 bravo module, and the bravo sensors wont fit the coupe hubs. so if i want ABS i think i need; a coupe module, coupe rear sensors and use the coupe rear hub (already have coupe front hub, shafts and ABS sensor) and possibly the coupe ancillary wiring loom? (if the bravo one doesnt fit the coupe module)
Damn ABS!!!!!

Do you really know what ABS is for?
Mine is Mk2 HGT. I have no idea which ABS ECU I have all I know is the sensors don't line up.

line up in what way? you can see in this picture the way the bravo sensor comes through the arm and is parallel with the ABS notches and in this you can see the difference between the coupe hub (in the disc) and the bravo hub Ninja

Mine don't line up because I'm using Bravo hubs and coupe driveshafts. Yours line up fine. Why bother? You don't want ABS for a track day car.

It will slow you down and not in that sense. You need to fell the brakes bite and lock up in order to become a better driver ABS will get in the way. It's for road safety NOT track use.

that is a good arguement (damn you!)
i'd like to get it to work, but i think i'll drop it down the priority list though.
if i do get it to work, can i disable it freely? ie remove a fuse, for on track use.

thanks for that kaci, Rear sonsor from coupe the coupe sensors are perpendicular to the notches on the coupe rear hub, the bravo sensors are parallel to the notched on the bravo rear hub (pis as per above) it looks like becuase the HGT shares the same front drive shafts and rear disc setup as the coupe they are compatible with the coupe parts, but the 1.8 front shafts are diferent and the rear is a hub setup, so its sensors wont phyiscally match the coupe abs notches on the hub/shaft the sensors being interchangable with the abs module is still unknown to me becuase the front coupe sensors(currently fitted) do not line up with the 1.8 drive shaft, so until i change the drive shafts i wont know if the ABS error lights goes out?? If it does not, then i will try the 1.8 sonsors in the coupe hubs with coupe shafts (but i'm not too optimistic) Ninja

ahh cool! you see im looking to fit a 20vt into my brava. Ive done engine conversions before luckily I'm just a little skeptical on this one especially when it comes to ancillaries? any idea how yours is going pan out for the power steering pump etc ![smile smile](/forum/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif) Michael

power steering wise (the plan is..)
Coupe pump bravo reservoir Coupe steering rack/track rods (although the cores are the same apart from the bravo has a bracket for the gear selctor rods, so i may just cut that off as the coupe uses cable!)
No aircon, so no need to worry about that, and i've given up on the ABS for now as per above lol
everything else is a case of wiring.....

It has.... if you consider it like the hare and the tortiose, well they both passed me along time ago lol my new job does not allow me much time to mess during the week anymore, and i did not want to start stripping the car until i was happy with engine assembly. it also been a massive learning curve along the way in hindsight it would have been so much simpler if i had started with a pre-98 HGT, but then again i have uprated all the parts that would have been standard on the HGT anyway.

Plug near the strut is for the cam variator. Its loom travels through the bulkhead on the coupe and goes to the fuse box and is controlled by a relay and also the ecu.
Its not essential that its in place but it causes a bit of lag if its not so best to have it wired up.Not to mention the management light will be on. The variator uses the engines oil pressure and opens a solenoid to activate the variator by oil displacement in rotation.
It wont stop the car from starting if its not plugged in so you can tackle it at a later date if needed. I might have that piece of loom if you drop me a text tomorrow i will take a look.
The fan also is controlled by the ecu.
The 4 pin plug near the battery is for the code system.The other is the O2 sensor.
Bury your head in wiring diagrams for a few hours to figure out the routing fella.Thats what i had to do.
Hope this helps

You have to use coupe fan mate but they are a little tight. Non ac fans work well.
