Re: 2 BMW E46 Projects

Plan for the M3 is to use the GS450h gearbox with Damien's controller and make it a hybrid. :) Again, similar ideas regarding batteries, BMSes and chargers, but in this case the DC/DC isn't needed as I'm not going to touch anything on the engine side (this keeps it real simple when it comes time fo...

Re: Leaf powerd lifted Subaru BRAT

I'd be wary of using 3d printed plastic parts to judge if tolerances are correct. Very much this, every printable plastic demonstrates shrinkage as the part cools from the glass transition temperature to room temperature. PLA shrinks less than ABS because ABS's GTT is 105c, and PLA's GTT is 60-65c,...

Re: Launching into the next decade

Yes, my boss missed a flight back home because of some accident or work on the tracks. One of my favourite Lufthansa experiences has been the third time I visited Nürnberg for their annual bike polo tournament.

Re: Looking for SMART EV (or any other Sub 50kW) drivetrain [SOLD]

we already have a thread about the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV motorised rear axle. The Peugeot Hybrid4 system was a PSA+Bosch+GKN joint project, and the Outlander is also sold with Peugeot and Citroen badges so I expect Hybrid4 axles to be the same item. 2012-2016 Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 2012-2016 Peuge...

Re: Prius Gen3 Inverter Hacking

If the inverter has already been removed from the vehicle, inspected and advertised, you'll be paying a premium. The way to get them cheap is to just turn up at a "dirt floor"-type scrapyard with your toolbox and extract the parts you need yourself. This also means you can avoid broken con...
