yeah I’ve got the 6 speed auto so I’ll be looking to do something like thisRough idea, chatgbt kept fighting me on what i specifically asked and gave the opposite but closest i could get
From what I've read, exhaust hangars are in different locations from S550 to S650, valve I read are also positioned in a different orientation then the S550's which may cause rubbing but not sure if it mentioned on the actuator or on the wiring but fitment appears to be the same
Funny enough I just ordered my 500 console for my project. Will be making a custom top panel to be 3d printed to accommodate the physical shifter. I’ll post up the file when I’m done!
The knuckle project was a success, reasoning I could not tell you but all it took was a adjustble toe arm in the rear to get everything in spec and zero out, I could not tell you if its because of s550 stock arm length or if I had damaged my toe adjustment bolts on reinstallation, so knuckle was a success swap, as for the optima EPB Module, I had wanted to use one that didn't have a dedicated canbus system so I went with the 2016 module, has canbus to communicate with the kia's bcm for safety measures of when its activated or disengaged etc. But didn't use canbus to activate the actual commands, its still in theory but looking at the wiring diagram, it looked very simple which is my goal of simplicity, reason why i did not go aftermarket is because if this unit fails, it'll only set me back $50 and is plug and play once I wire it up vs aftermarket may still be plug and play, but if the unit dies out of warranty, I have to pay $$ lol
Its mainly to save cost and remaining budget friendly, the Gt350 system you have to swap knuckles still but also get the parking drum assembly, brackets, axles, etc. Plus when it comes to servicing the rotors and pads, will be pricey compared to the S650 swap where if your on a budget, you can simply go to any auto parts store and grab what you need quick and cheap, pretty much just trying a new route since I haven't seen anyone do the swap and figured I have no parking brake due to the S650 dash swap, figured I'd show everyone since I wanna get that fix lol but performance since then has way more bite and stops quicker however I am going to be upgrading my booster and master in the future to the performance package s550 ones when I do the S650 front 6 piston swap too
Yea I looked into it but I could not source one with the pigtail connector included, also its part of the pump assemblySo.... Looks like if you use a GT500 Abs module then you are all set. No additional brake controller needed. Just need the wiring.
