Re: Lotus Elite + GS450H [WIP]
So. A quick update. Not much has happened with the Lotus side of this project but there is some regarding the Kia Soul ev donor car. The Soul had a catastrophic gearbox failure, hence it was sold for spares, but was otherwise in quite good condition! I found a second hand gearbox for it and fitted i...

Re: Lotus Elite + GS450H [WIP]
Hi all. I'm questioning if the Kia Soul EV I bought as a donor is the wrong choice!! Would a Nissan Leaf be a simpler, better (as in comms already diagnosed and set in the Zombieverter) whereas the Kia seems to be an unknown or at best a "work in progress". This is my first ev project and ...

Re: GS300H gearbox & inverter for sale
Hi all.
Anyone here interested in these before I put them up on ebay? Matching pair from a 2015 crash damaged car. Inverter is G9200-30131, I'm only looking for €700 for the pair.

Re: Lotus Elite + GS450H
Hi folks. I've figured out that the later inverters have a different body, so some electrical connections such as the mg1 & 2 cable connectors are different and don't fit old trans to newer inverter. But as I have sourced an suitable age inverter (9200-30051), at a great price, its no longer a p...

Re: Lotus Elite + GS450H
Can anyone tell me if GS450H inverter part G9200-30080 ( MY2013 onwards) is good with older gs450h transmission ?
The wiki lists G9200-30090 which is for current cars (2013 onwards) and also a G9200-30180 which maybe a typo as I haven't found any with that number!

Re: Lotus Elite + GS450H
Another milestone reached today with the help and major input from my buddy Michael. The gearbox mounts were fabricated along with the Lotus/lexus propshaft. We got the gearbox fully mounted and driveline is now complete. The chassis is now a full rolling chassis ready to start refitting the body. T...

GS300H gearbox & inverter for sale [SOLD]
Hi folks.
I have a match pair of GS300H gearbox and inverter from a crashed 2014 rhd car. I bought these thinking I might change plans for my Lotus Elite project but have gone with the 450h instead.
I'm based in Ireland, near Dublin.
Make me a decent offer.

Someone else on here shared this calculator with me previously, it should help sort out your speed / gearing situation.

Re: Lotus Elite + GS450H
Those speeds are based on the gs300h trans. The 450h has a Hi gear that means top speed is no issue, even with my wheel size and diff ratio.

Hi Phil. I've tried to PM you, but there must be something wrong as my messages seem to be stuck. I think we do know each other from Octane and Backroads. I'm doing a similar GS450H conversion on my Lotus Elite. I live 10 mins from Maynooth. It would be good to meet up and share info on our 2 projec...

Hi all. Bit of an update as there's been some good progress this weekend. First the missing suspension parts finally arrived (got stuck in customs!!! ). So we got the chassis rebuilt and back on its own 4 wheels, first time in 15yrs!!!! Secondly, early Sat morning I spotted a 2014 Kia Soul EV being ...

Re: WANTED:GS/IS 300H GEARBOX & INVERTER
Hi. I have a 2014 gs300h gearbox and matching inverter that I got thinking it would suit my project better than the GS450h item I had 1st but going to go with the 450h after all. I still need a 450h inverter though.
I'm in kildare near Maynooth.

Re: Lotus Elite + GS450H
Thanks SuperV8, Yeah I think you are correct. I have looked at the option of changing the diff ration to 3.07:1 but these are expensive and seem to be very rare!! So, considering that there isn't much gain length wise between the 450h & 300H and the fact that I cannot find any confirmation of th...
