any chance you have the partnumber of the wire loom?

I was looking for a used loom, but without the proper partnumber it's almost impossible to find one...

Hi Pete,

thanks for your answer. If you know what to look for you can indeed seen a chamfered edge on one side.
Would not have recognized that as an indicator, I was only looking for a dot...

Hi everyone, I am currently assembling / soldering the remaining components onto the VCU (Zombieverter) board and have a problem, I do not know how to orientate the gate drivers on the board. The printing on the actual parts is "3122T HATL", but there is no dot or anything that gives an in...

4.35. ok... thanks. Was hoping it would be 3,45. I am thinking about converting a small / light 4x4 car: a Suzuki SJ410 / SJ413 (Jimny/Samurai/Katana or whatever they were called in different markets). I like the idea of getting rid of the combustion engine including gearbox and transfer case, and ...

I know a uk conversion shop has. Can’t recall whom. but you can buy them in Japan… so just need to find a dealer. Or weld the diff. 🤠😎 gear set is a 1:1 replacement for the intermediate gears, resulting in a 3.45:1… @Bratitude: on your homepage you mention 4,35:1 as ratio for the replacement gears....

Nice project. Do you have some pictures about the mechanical integration of the SDU to the rear axle of the Mercedes?
Seems to be a tight fit as you mentioned you had to relocate the inverter housing.

Which EVBMW logic board would I use if I wanted to run that L210 with a Gen3 Prius inverter? The "standard" V1c board or the newer V1d "dual motor" variant which can control the motors individually? As far as I understood @ chrskly achieved to spin this transmission with a Yaris ...

I'm interested...

Shouldn't you be able to run a GS300h CVT from a Prius Gen3 inverter with the dual-motor board installed? At least, that's what I was hoping I could do. Just read through your Mustang-thread with great interest, awesome project! How far are you with getting the L210 to run with your Prius inverter?...

Both ways are unfortunatelly beyond my capabilities, so I'll have to go with the L110 for my current project.
Hope someone will pick up the task on the L210 tough...

Great information in this thread! Was about to get a L110 (GS450H) transmission, yet the L210 discussed here seems to fit even better for my project (intending to convert a classic Mercedes with RWD). But how to get the inverter to work? On the EVBMW webshop I can only find a bare / unpopulated PCB ...

I'd suggest you start with the TMC forum. will do... You are free to do whatever you like but understand that on our course Damien is clear that you should be using the OEM BMS for battery management with a third party controller like SimpBMS. If you still don't get this then ask yourself one quest...

Obviously you are free to ignore the advice to buy a 2018 DU... it's your money ;) I'm not reluctant to advice, that's why I'm asking here ;) I thought the ceramic bearings were the fix, wasn't aware of a "real" design change... Any links to technical details? That sounds like a lot of we...

ok, thanks for the answers so far! Yes, the 123 Mercedes is rear wheel driven. Putting in a Lexus drivetrain is mechanically certainly easier, yet the mechanical aspect of this conversion is the "fun part" for me. I just like the idea of getting rid as much of the old drivetrain as possibl...

Hi everyone, my name is Stefan and I am living in the southern part of Germany. Currently I am in an early planning phase of converting a Mercedes S123 station wagon (E-class built between 1977 and 1985). Have been lurking around this forum and DIYelectriccar for quite a while now, still more questi...

I am planning to get completely rid of the original powertrain and replace it with a small Tesla drive unit. Waiting for the open inverter Solution for Tesla Model 3... Regarding battery, these PHEV BMW packs seem to be a good source. Did you use the complete pack or got the modules out of the pack?...

Hi everyone, new here and planning my first conversion, a 1985 S123 Mercedes. Biggest challenge at the moment seems to find a TÜV engineer, who can legalize my conversion. Local TÜV doesn't seem to be capable, referred me to the "Technischer Dienst" im Munich, who are happy to help but as ...
