Re: [DRIVING] VW Touran powered by Nissan Leaf [FINISHED]

The larger vw Bosch pumps don’t need pwm ( although you can control them with pwm) if pwm pin is left unconnected the pump waits a couple of seconds then fires up at 100%, if the pump is dry and no load detected it will shut off again. I swapped from one of those small vw copies to the larger vw Bos...

Re: Tyres for EVs?

Personally I just choose a tyre with a good fuel economy rating and a good price and then run true pressure higher than standard (this in the method vw use to get the impressive mpg figures on their blue motion range they use tyre pressures around 8 psi higher then the standard base model and then l...

Surely if it was a resolver offset issue you’d be seeing similar results to using an incorrect resolver offset in OI … motor running away with itself not following throttle commands

Nice big roof on the big bus, you could add a couple of full length fold out leaves for solar panels for some solar charging

I have seen adapters like this for people that charge rv’s and scooters at
public evse, https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004570389194.html

Not sure how well they work, probably similar to a dumb resistance across the cp and pe pins.

Re: Prius Gen 2 Max rpm/Hz without throttle input [SOLVED]

So by using the input shaft as an output you’ll be spinning the Prius gearbox backwards so the splay lubrication from the diff won’t work and the oil pump will need modifications to swap the inlet and outlet ports, I’ve use an electric pump to pump oil to the top of the case to replace to lost splas...
