Re: GS450h is jerky

As seems to be the way on this forum those willing to help are the least able and those able to help the least willing. No matter. I'm installing a 450h into my E39 presently and the problem or problems will be found, rectified and published by me. I do have a setup on hand that is not working so t...

Re: GS450h is jerky

But if your setup may be creating nonexistent problems, why are you chasing them? The original idea was to quickly test to see if the setup considered would work. But your question is full of wisedom, I will reconsider spending time on a temporary setup chasing potential "non problems".

Re: GS450h is jerky

Thanks for all the feedback. Just to reiterate, this is a preliminary setup, not a definitive one. I am obviously planning on using a 350V nominal battery and using rubber mounts. The idea of this setup is to iron out any problems beforehand and make sure I have a proper architecture. I have tried t...

Re: ZombieVerter VCU Support

Hello everyone, I would like to work on the gearing of the transmission (changing between LOW and HIGH gear).

I was basing the inclusion of this inverter because of this post -> viewtopic.php?p=28941&hilit=33171#p28941. It seems to work with damien's VCU.
