Hey guys,
I linked to this thread from https://openinverter.org/wiki/Bosch_iBooster. As you have the iBooster(s) on the bench, can you measure them when you have a chance and add the details in the table, similar to what we have for the Zoe and Yaris ones already?
Happy to help with any editing!

Glad you liked it, see you this August at Tog and maybe at Dublin Maker, too?

Thanks all for the effort! Plenty of VAG options out there judging by some eBay searches.
I have started collecting info on some versions of the iBoosters out there in a table to help people choose the best starting point, but measurements are important for that. Could you add the details to the ...

Big fan of scrap engineering Milk jug PE can be heat formed quite nicely...

Pretty sure it will be OK, best confirm with info@tog.ie to be extra sure.

Awesome, I look forward to the build thread!

I had exhibited the bike before and the Leopardstown racecourse should give us even more space than Merrion Square to exhibit actual cars.

First of all, it's a great event to attend and bring the family! It's also ...

those 3 pouches in parallel are bonded for life and the other two have suffered more if only one would have a defect

No issues is a worthy and encouraging update, mate!
You could start tracking consumption of the car if nothing else?

I have used 4S (used 18650s) on the motorbike for a few years now as the Kelly controller needed it. Plus, it's drain only / charged alongside the main battery. Considering downsizing it and just live with the 50-60% SOC with the DCDC's output voltage

Love the Vectrix, nearly bought one of the few in Ireland. The motor has an encoder, correct?
Maybe the Honda IMA-based Lebowski is the right size and Roger (Kiwifiat) sells conversion boards for this inverters - I'm running one myself.
Not much CAN, though, but likely tuneable to the funny throttle ...

I'd start with the (chest-) freezer and a heat gun if you want to take it easy and have no time pressure.

Congrats! One EV grin at a time

How many Arduinos do you have by now? I totally get the hammer and nail situation as I'm way behind in those skills but it seems a bit much in terms of complexity & failure points, even if only on the 12V side.

Can you get Outlander PHEV components in your area? They're a "size" smaller and the rear unit might be suitable as a "diff replacement": https://openinverter.org/wiki/Mitsubish ... Drive_Unit

As far as I know you are not allowed/ it´s not easy in Germany to just cut parts of the bodywork out and have it legally with the TÜV....
Also I would like to have a bolt in version which is way easier to `do with the TÜV, as you are not allowed to stiffen the chassis, or do any major changes to ...

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLW5ia_ywOUhiLFlwvLTHPHkOaSh-pi6cj is also interesting. Note it's difficult to find as he calls it "eMini".

Regarding the battery, I always thought there should be space between the rails of the rear subframe for one if you redesign/raise the boot floor. No ...

Have you watched Greg's video's yet? Proper deep dive into the packs:

A location might help as you have quoted € and £. Also pictures?

Sorry I meant to get it road legal/taxed/insured etc. so you get some (even minimal) use out of it. Midweek shopping or recycling centre.
Go to meetups, even to troll

+1 Get it going first.
Learn while you can (at least partially) enjoy it already.
It will do wonders to your motivation. Safety first obviously.
