Question About VDC Control Module - Relocation / Brake Lines
 

I am on a mission to rebuild my BRZ from the ground up and in doing so, would like to free up some engine space by doing a full wire tuck as well as shaving my engine bay.

I like to have a clutter-free engine bay where I can just focus on the engine business.

I did a wire tuck and fully shaved engine bay on my Ek coupe and working on it was beautiful.

I am trying to get smart with this VDC module and would like to move it elsewhere, possibly in the upper fender well where I removed my windshield reservoir, which has been replaced with a Chasebay's reservoir.

I have little information to go off of so I was hoping to get some advice here.

I would like to run ABS since I'm gonna need some stopping assistance with this major build.

Either way, can I run steel braided Teflon PTFE lines through the VDC or will it render useless?

I ask because I briefly saw a thread that mentioned something about that and stated that the system might not work as intended without hard brake lines.

And then my second question, well, if the first one can work, I know how to wire the VDC unit, even if I have to de-pin it or extend the wires for a further location...but does anyone know if this will be a problem as well?

Thanks in advance!

Keep hard lines. Flexible lines will increase fluid consumption, response time and create risks for failures.

If you need a good abs, Bosch motorsports offers a module that has lots of adjustability.

I was under the impression that the yaw sensor was integrated into the ABS module, so if you changed the orientation of it relative so the car you'd likely end up with weird behavior... at least that was my experience with the M3 yaw sensor.

I'll talk to my tuner about it tomorrow after I drop off a few parts to him.

But yeah, thanks for that info.

Nice, yeah, I'll check it out my man!

Thanks again!
