Thank you ggter,

That's great to know.

Thank you everyone.

I have gone for the Land Rover mounts and they look just the job. I am still a way from being able to test anything but so far, so good.


Cheers,

Andy.

Hi boekel,

Thanks for the offer. I could probably use about eight.
I'll PM you

Hi Folks,

I am looking for PCBs from VW/Audi 4S batteries. I need the ones without the BMS on, essentially this are just connectors between the loom and the cells but in PCB form.

Does anyone have any sitting around that they would like to part with?


Thanks,

Andy.

Thank you tom91, I have seen that thread and it has a lot info info and does imply point 2 but it doesn't say it. My unravelling of a wiring loom implies it too but I was hoping for a second opinion as I want to start putting my pack together but also because I want to add the missing info to the wi...

Hi Folks, I have an E-Golf battery pack that I have broken down to its 4S and 2S batteries and I am trying to work out the connections so I can build my own packs. I have got so far but would like someone to check my thinking. There are three types of batteries in this pack. Smart 4S (with BMS), 4S ...

That's great.

Thanks very much for getting back to me.

Cheers,

Andy.

Hi Folks, Things are coming together slowly on my EV project with most of the big-ticket items either sitting on a shelf or, in a few cases, actually fitted. The question now is one of cable sizing. What cables are you running from your batteries to the inverter etc. and what kind of current can I e...

Hmm,

Mine was due to arrive a couple of weeks ago but on the day it was due, its status changed and now Amazon say that they will tell me when it will be shipped, but they never do

Cheers,

Andy.

I've been standing in the engine bay today, taking measurements and getting my head around the task ahead.

I _think_ the Land Rover mounts will fit straight into the existing engine mounts so no chassis mods needed

I'll let you all know when they arrive.


Cheers,

Andy.

That's very helpful. It's what I had in mind and it's great to have it confirmed.


Cheers,

Andy.

Thanks both for your answers. I've got a good idea where to go now.


Thanks,

Andy.

Hi Everyone,

I have the old IC engine out of my car now and I'm contemplating how to mount the GS transmission in its place.

I don't imagine anyone hard mounts the trans to the chassis so what do you do for engine mounts.

This is for a Scimitar so it's a ladder chassis.


Thanks,

Andy.

Hi DkubusEV,

To be honest I don't. I have a pack from an E-Golf and I'm hoping Damien of evbmw gets his VAG charger working before I need mine!


Cheers,

Andy.

Hi,

Does anyone have a pair of the brass power posts required for the GS450h inverter to squirt power in past the IGBT and Coil?


Thanks,

Andy.

Yes. It's gone now.

Cheers,

Andy.

That's great.

Thanks.

Hi PatrcioEV,

Thanks for the reply. I've had a look on ebay here in the UK but couldn't find any Leaf contactors. Are they part of a specific module and if so, what's it called.


Thanks,

Andy.

Hi Folks, I am still accumulating the parts for my '79 Scimitar/Lexus GS450h project. I am now thinking of the precharge. I have seen various online calculators but they all want to know the internal capacitance of the load (inverter). As I am by no means the first to tread this path, please can som...

Hi Jacobsmess,

I went with the Audi for a few reasons... Other people are working on talking to it with Zombieverter. Also, the power output is reasonable and so is the cost.


Cheers,

Andy.

To answer my own post, I've gone with the Audi E-tron charger.

Let's see how I get on.

Cheers,

Andy.

Hi Folks, I am converting my Scimitar to an EV and going the route of Lexus GS450H transmission and Zombieverter (both bits bought and waiting on shelves). I am now looking for a charger to fit in nicely with those bits (controlled by the Zombie, suitable voltage etc.). I am thinking 7kw+ but don't ...

Hi jcwright45,

Thanks for the post.

I actually got sorted Yesterday for everything but the clutch plate.

If you have one, I'd be interested.


Cheers,

Andy.

Hi Folks,

I have a Lexus GS450H hybrid gearbox/transmission I no longer need.

Sadly there is no oil pump hence the low price.

Yours from the princely sum of £75. Collection only from Melton Mowbray.


All the best,

Andy.

Thanks. That's great.
