The coyote package comes with the fly by wire throttle. Do I have to mod it to make this work in the BD?
What kind of pedals (adjustable?) are you using anyway?

You can use a HydraMat with just about any pump. I have one in my race car, with an aftermarket pump on a Miata hanger, and in a Miata fuel tank. It's awesome. I can run the tank nearly bone dry before it starts to sputter in the corners. It really is everything they say it is.
Would a 50A alternator work? Yeah, I think it would, as long as you pay attention to the electrical components you install. But then I don't think you'll be making enough power to use e-PS. And if you really run the battery low, I think it would take a while to recharge.
I installed the 80A because it satisfies my OCD. 50A is probably enough? But 80A helps me sleep better at night.
I like to have extra capacity that I may never need. It makes me happy.
As for the throttle, I just bolted the stock pedal to the firewall and plugged it in. I'll try to remember to take a pic for ya.
The BDR comes with gas pedal, brake pedal, and clutch pedal already installed. They are all on one long bolt. BEFORE you install the motor, pull that long bolt out and set up the pedals the way you want them. If the engine is installed, you'll never get that bolt out.
Additionally, the fly by wire gas pedal makes it really easy to install cruise control.
When you get to that point, let me know.
