Fantastic work on locking ring. How are you progressing on coupling MG1 and MG2 together. Are you planning to come up with something other than welding? Thank you! Helical gears are not so easy to measure, to create some sort of locking brackets. Also carrier case is welded, so to install brackets ...

Mother of god... When my pump fails, I'll be reaching out... Watching the space very closely.

Yesterday i installed my Volt Gen2 DCDC in my Pug and i supplied it with 12Vaux battery and HV. I used 5V pwm signal from my DUE board and set it to 110Hz 70% duty. I got 14.3Vdc on the output when i started my car. Well when i turned PWM off DCDC was sitting there with Aux battery at 13.6Vdc. If i...

Dumb question, and sorry if already answered, but if mg1 not locked up, can one use mg2 for power and let mg1 pump?

Updates as of 10/2021 * Got brakes rebuilt, rear end re-fitted * Front suspension removed and mostly re-fitted with new shocks all around * GS450H unit mounted for fitment. Will add more steel and bolts as my comfort level rises * Battery packs about 50% complete. If I had know hand-building these w...

Did we get an answer on this? I'll be using this unit in my project and would make things simpler.

I see 40-80A cruising at 65mph (~6k rpm in high gear) at ~370V. Heavy acceleration about 475A 4200lb 1970 Jaguar XJ6 with 205 tires Also, assuming you're using high gear all the time -- what kind of acceleration are you capable of with the Jag? Does it compare to the original Jag drivetrain? Or clo...

I see 40-80A cruising at 65mph (~6k rpm in high gear) at ~370V. Heavy acceleration about 475A 4200lb 1970 Jaguar XJ6 with 205 tires Thanks guys. My 1979 Midget came in at ~1800 pounds from the factory new. Assuming at half the weight of your rig might amount to a lighter draw overall. My pack is de...

For those of you with rolling cars, what amp draws are you seeing on the road while under moderate acceleration and cruising? And for those w/o rolling cars, what are your plans for amp draw with the 450h unit? Kindly let me know what your vehicle is so I can estimate weight to compare to what I'm b...

Things slower than expected, but here's where I am with some pics: * Suspension completely removed from car for ease of repairing brakes, brake lines, axle bearings, seals, etc. Also give me so extra room to work on placing components. * Battery units at good stage: 8 total units. One of them with B...

Makes sense to me. 1.25 x 16 = 20 so that works out.

My understanding, the mechanical lever does nothing internally besides engaging Park pawl. I assume you wired the output of the drive lever sensor to the D and R functions of the VCU. Did you not?

GS450h transmission oil pump bolts and gasket...

For those, like me, who didn't get the pump with the transmission unit, here are the part numbers for bolts and (what appears to be a metal) gasket.

Found this on the Wiki somewhere. But for the life of me I can't find it again. Thank god I saved it on my computer before i closed the page. THANK YOU to whomever put this up! Anyways this is for the next guy that screws up royally like I did. ;) TonyV -- congrats on getting the thing spinning! Ca...

You should call HoustonDrivetrain.com. This adapter (the "small" version) fits perfectly on the 450h trans and adapts to a standard "American" ujoint pattern. From there, the driveshaft shop can easily make a shaft to hook up to the Mustang.

Ha! Cool. The other detents away from Park all have their own signals on the sensor. So, you can tap those (R, N, D, and the last position is a momentary position called M), to use as you wish. I'm considering using the M position to swap gears manually - pull back, release, VCU chooses second gear...

you'll know when you're in P.... you won't be able to turn the output shaft. Any other position works for bench testing.

Update: back from extended vacation -- more parts have arrived. USPS confirms that Damien's VCU is on its way. Now that all the large bits are here, I am able to execute a set of steps. Here is the order I believe is appropriate: Local shop to rebuild the brakes Transmission final fitment and mounti...

Bought off eBay. Here's the listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/13-15-Subaru-BRZ-Gas-Pedal-Accelerator-DBW-Throttle-36010CA070-FR-S-2013-2015/112551945606?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2648 I tested it and it gives readings between 0.66 and 4-ish volts on two separate chann...

I'm also using an alternate method of selecting direction. For the park position, I used an old window motor with a crank shaped arm welded onto the output shaft. I use the Park/Reverse positions of the gear selector to tell me when to stop the motor. IMG_20191202_173128.jpg Love it. That's a great...

Hello celeron55, Finally something mechanical I've actually messed about with, and can offer a usable suggestion for. What size U-joints are in your propshaft? Find a mounting flange that adapts to that size u-bolt, with whatever bolt pattern. There are also "adapter" u-joints available b...

The transmission lock will never cool down and let the vehicle roll away.

And, it's there. Why not use it?

So if I plan to use this https://zero-ev.co.uk/product/gear-selector-knob-for-electric-vehicle-conversions/ Then I’ll need an actuator to engage park, unless I keep the gearbox in neutral and use physical park brake Yes. That's right. The lever can actually be in any position other than Park for th...
