update for the diesel tesla Mazda rx8. i did just finish the engine install and have fired the engine to see what the voltages are at idle half and full throttle , 3000 engine rpm. idle is 108vdc, half 196 vdc, and full is around 290 volts. the engine is governed at 2800rpm but i have adjusted to ...

yes, and no. i was using the HSG to charge batterys using a small engine. but then found a larger yet small three cylinder yanmar 3tnv70 that i mounted the HSG to. i have yet to get the engine mounted in the car in such a way that makes everything fit. i will post an update once i have it running. i ...

did you see the mazda rx8 where i used the exact transaxle in it? i couldn't get the car past 60mph, gen three prius inverter and running dual motor control. unless you lock the sun gears your wasting the time. wished i had known that before i started the original conversion. i just installed a ...

link to the test video. glad to see it spin. although the web interface says its in reverse but the rotation is correct for the motor and mazda to be driven forward. unless i missed a picture where the motor is turned the other way.

nearly 7 years ago i started a conversion on a Mazda rx8 to electric using a 2015 Toyota Avalon hybrid transaxle and two Prius prime lithium battery's. over the years came a new job which caused less time to work on the project, a LLC I've started for electric car conversions. well update for the ...

Route change up for the mazda, purchased a Tesla small drive unit and control board to change the Toyota headache over to tesla. Should get a much faster car video out soon

Question for anyone who can answer. I have the 2015 Toyota Avalon hybrid transaxle mounted in the rear of my EV converted Mazda rx8. Long Story short the Prius gen three inverter dual board controller is drawing roughly 80amps from the battery, I verified the current using my inductive battery meter ...

final testing before getting the diesel engine settled into the car. it is winter now and i have barley any time to work in the car. i plan on moving most of my battery's located in the trunk down into the transmission tunnel with custom aluminum mounts. i have not settled on using an inverter ...

I’m using the same connections in the wiki, backside of the inverter, fused link 125amps, fuse never blew.

Well. I’m confused, the electric car was driving great until I updated the foc firmware, blew my second inverter, first one I thought I had reversed the power connection but after spending three days attempting to get the new inverter and dual motor board to drive I ended with a blown inverter again ...

I have one spare inverter and I don’t want to blow it, I also have a V1c block iv with the wemos d1 mini connectors. Same thing with it but it blew the boost converter igbts instead of the inverter board

This is the second inverter that has been blown. So question would be what was I doing wrong? Since my last video of driving the electric Mazda rx8 I updated the foc firmware for the original V1C single motor board with upgraded 3.3 volt power supply, the car was driving good. I spent hours on the ...

Finally have the throttle control for the Kia hybrid motor starter generator running. Motor seems to respond great, will be posting specs for firmware as soon as I’m back on my computer.

This was several months ago, after setting the felid weakening to 600hz the car was driving at 60mph. after about a weeks worth of hair pulling finally reading thought the wiki and studying motor control software and terms the throttleramp i had originally set to 40 should have been set at 12,000 ...

Another test of the dual control board, setting up to charger my Mazdas battery’s in the next month. Hopefully this test is useful. After this I found the limit of the offset and ran out of power from my tester, going to use two 12 volt battery’s once I get back home, should be close to the ...

Tesla LDU control panel

After careful consideration, I have decided to buy all Tesla motors and battery’s for my electric Mazda rx8. I recently purchased control boards from two separate manufacturers, purchased components to finish the boards so I can use a Tesla drive motor. Wasn’t sure I about flashing the firmware, but ...

Question involving power distribution in the gen three inverter.
Could I use this as my main power input, only because the power is directly connected to the igbt instead of going though the capacitor bus bar

prius gen 3 inverter circuits for Battery Power

Hello guys. I started a build with the Kia HSG in hopes of using the
Generator to charge my electric rx8 battery using a 8hp Diesel engine, Im looking at other options. So now I have two of these generators. Had a old yz450f I wanted to turn electric. I have been trying to design a Sprocket that ...

Question, why are we only using the buck boost input for the gen three inverter for power delivery? I mean the connection side that is posted in this forum, the main power connection for the MG2 is pictured, I was using my kia hybrid starter generator to trace out the power connections, and found ...

ordered new board, still awaiting shipping tracking number. glad to see some hope for the community with new complete boards

so, for the questions i had the past few weeks. i removed the V1c Logic board. im hopes that maybe something with the board would be the cause of this issuse. ( issue- when accelerating i get highamp trips. it keeps shuting down the inverter )
with closer inspection i checked to see if any of the ...

Not yet, drove around today 22 miles and the car pulls about 70 amps while driving. From a 75 amp hour battery


so, could anyone please verify something for me, is it normal for the inverter to draw 77 amps at 60 mph, 235 volt battery. im getting cogging in reverse but can spin the tires going ...
