Re: Rear Wheel Transaxle Options (Tesla SDU, Leaf, Prius, etc)

I did a little searching around and I don't see those outlander drive units for sale near my location, while Nissan, Prius, Tesla and other parts are very common. It seems that the Outlander PHEV model was not available in the USA until 2017, so there are fewer years of vehicles available here curre...

Re: Rear Wheel Transaxle Options (Tesla SDU, Leaf, Prius, etc)

Not sure this is quote right (and I'm really hoping it isn't as this is the setup I'm using, Outlander rear plus Prius Gen3, and I'd like to achieve 100kW). Edit - Having said all that I think the Outlander rear would still be a little low on power for the Celica. Is the Outlander the same as the H...

Re: Replace L110 GS450h oil pump

Made some progress. If anyone wants one let me know. No pump yet. Looks like you're a CNC guy too. Nice work. Do we know the pump curve for the original L110 pump? (Flow on the X axis and pressure on the Y axis) Perhaps That helps in finding a suitable 3rd party replacement? Most power-packs I've e...

Re: Rear Wheel Transaxle Options (Tesla SDU, Leaf, Prius, etc)

Hi Techshop. Sorry, I wrongly assumed you were in the UK :-) Good luck. I'm in Washington State, USA... I'll see if I can navigate the process of adding some info to my profile. *Edit* I found a few photos of a complete subframe assembly for the same year Toyota Supra for reference. The imgur links...

Re: Rear Wheel Transaxle Options (Tesla SDU, Leaf, Prius, etc)

Was the GS300H or GS450H option considered? See the smile on Damian's face in the E39! :) Maybe not the power you're after but wins on simplicity for the RWD? I have seen Damien's work on the Lexus running gear, including his test drive. My reasoning for the rear transaxle is to eliminate mechanica...

Re: Rear Wheel Transaxle Options (Tesla SDU, Leaf, Prius, etc)

Hi Techshop. I think you may need to double check first if a custom subframe is acceptable when it comes to an inspection (or not called for hopefully :-) ) Inspections only apply to a vehicle that has been written off due to a wreck in my state and county. More importantly, I have the skills and t...

Re: Rear Wheel Transaxle Options (Tesla SDU, Leaf, Prius, etc)

Thanks for clearing that up with the Prius vs Leaf inverter. The Gen2 (EM57 /w 80 kW inverter) can also be run with a replacement logic board to push 130 kW from it. I read through a build on a GT86 Toyota with Gen2 Nissan components where he reported some issues with "sudden regen". Does ...

Rear Wheel Transaxle Options (Tesla SDU, Leaf, Prius, etc)

Hi fellas, this is my first post on the forum after reading/lurking for over a year and signing up for an account maybe six months ago. I'm very keen on doing an EV conversion and I'd love to get some input on drivetrains as before I begin selecting parts and moving forward. The car that I'd like to...
