Re: Mitsubishi Outlander rear axle

I'll take a look tomorrow when I am there and get back to you on that. I can't remember off the top of my head. I found that on throttle my motor is a bit more unsteady, it will also sometimes not move and draw a bit of current. But I am not sure how much of that is to do with the PWM wires on the ...

Re: Prius Gen 3 Inverter Logic Board Support Thread

Personally, I went overboard and used a separate buck converter module (LM2596) straight from the 12v and relocated the Wi-Fi module outside of the case at the same time. Range can be a little limited... Huh, I like that thought. I may steal it. Thanks! It's part of the interlock loop. I'm pretty s...

Re: Prius Gen 3 Inverter Logic Board Support Thread

I am in the process of building up my inverter and had a couple of quick questions. I saw from this post: https://openinverter.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=31481#p31481 that the 3.3v regulator is insufficient for the WiFi module. Since I'm in the process of building the inverter: Is this now a recommen...

Re: Yaris Inverters?

I've picked up pretty cheap Prius C inverter off eBay. Assuming it's one of the currently known compatible ones (the seller was not someone providing lots of information, but the price was good), my intent is to change those three caps and the resistors following Mouse's video so I can use it with a...

Re: Netgain Warp8 & Curtis 1231C

Apologies - I have misplaced the controller (when we moved house) - I'll update the ad when I've had a chance to drop by our storage unit and see if that's where I put it... And I'll add photos then.

Re: Netgain Warp8 & Curtis 1231C

I'll try and nab one this weekend. Currently it's in the back of the car it was going to go in, in the garage I'm currently drywalling(!), but I'll do my best!

Re: '69 Morris Minor conversion

After much futzing and staring at motor specs and shipping prices I've ended up going with a Mitsubishi iMiEV motor (funny, because I used to own one) (47kW / 180Nm / Max 8500rpm / @330v in original vehicle). I'm currently planning to mate that with a Prius C / Yaris inverter... The Mitsu motor is o...

Re: '69 Morris Minor conversion

Okay, so I'm still debating options - but had a chance to chat with someone who knows the Zero motor I've seen for sale pretty well. He said that the motor is designed for low voltage and has very low resistance and inductance so the current ramps up very quickly. He was worried that at higher volta...

Re: '69 Morris Minor conversion

The size of the GS450h has definitely been my biggest concern (and the price the most appealing thing). Not having one nearby, and just looking at the measurements it wasn't clear to me whether it would fit through the bulkhead. The sizes in the wiki suggest it's about 10cm longer, but much larger, ...

'69 Morris Minor conversion

Hi folks, I'm just embarking on my second try at converting a Morris Minor. My first try kinda ran out of steam when she needed extensive bodywork - that's now done :) In terms of transmission I have a Ford English diff. I believe it's a 3.54 ratio -- although it was replaced by a reconditioning pla...

Netgain Warp8 & Curtis 1231C

Hi folks, Couple of bits from my first stab at an EV conversion up for grabs: Netgain Warp8 DC motor and Curtis 1231c controller. These were removed from a running RHD VW golf coversion several years ago and have been dry stored in my garage since. The motor still has the VW mating plate on it. Loca...
