The other option being driving the prop shaft from the input shaft of the transaxle, this does unfortunately require even more extensive modifications including solidly coupling mg1 mg2 and the input shaft, reversing the oil pump ports as it will have to run backwards ect, it can be done see my buil...

I’d wip the transaxle apart and weld up the diff if I were you,

My approach is if I need the range yes I top off to 4.125v per cell before heading out, if I’m not in need of maximum range then I’ll leave it where it settles after charging to 4.05v per cell (normally settles to about 4v

Wow I would imagine trying to keep the oem hv ecu happy while driving with the inverter controlled by OI would be a massive task possibly requiring generating appropriate current and motor position signals possibly proportional to the pwm of the phase driver outputs from the hv ecu, I suspect a fixe...

Depending on where you buy that fiat radiator some come with a blanking plug in that m22 hole which is nice

Sorry to read this, makes me reconsider using that style of cell in a future project

Was thinking if I get time I may build a simple isolation monitor based on measuring the voltage across a resistor that would be switched on between chassis ground and the battery hv terminals, in turn, using a micro controller with a isolated power supply and a bit of simple logic if the retuned vo...

I’m not gen3 Prius inverter expert but I believe others have had issues with the funny multi pin board connector

My rx8 also shows as electric under fuel type in the mot system, I’m guessing Jamie’s mot guy didn’t know he can change the fuel type when he logs into the vehicle details on the mot system, in fact if the beatle is still on the system as petrol it should be subject to an emissions test still… odd

Cool, it’s been a long time since an update , id almost assumed yours was one of many abandoned projects

I have flushed an a/c system before using pressurised aft and then compressed air, did involve taking the condenser off the car and doing that separately, used a new dryer on reassembly, if you used Toyota ws atf it would definitely be winding friendly!

Could convert the alternator from the bmw engine to a motor to drive the bmw compressor,

Fairly sure gen3 prius used r134a refrigerant, also you’ll be stuck with using r134a anyway regardless of what compressor you fit as the filling fittings are different size to r1234yf

Would be a shame to take the batteries out of the beetle and loose one ev to build another

Lol, most of my code usually is hacked together from bits stolen from here and there!

Long time without updates, changed job and I’m in the process of moving house! I have however managed to build a new display, after killing one of my little nextions I have been driving with just the fuel gauge for a Soc indicator, I like a little more info than that, so after finding a rare rx8 sat...

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...

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...

Awesome, drop me a message about what you want for it ect, while you’re at it the dimensions would be handy

Yes I’d be interested in that, where are you located?

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

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

Which connection has died? The smaller gauge wire soldered to the rectifier leg?
