no idea what this man is saying, but thought perhaps our Slavic/Korean viewers would appreciate it: 0:00 Hello friends from the YouTube channel, I am Ángel Unda. Here is a video of the hybrid system from hybrid vehicles. 0:10 In this case we are going to talk about the inverter-converter. Here we h...

temps droped to -3 or -4. I'm in a warmer part of Canada. It was -38'C here for the last week, -50'C with the windchill. Doesn't happen often, but, does happen. People still drove their EVs. There's reddit threads every storm of curious people asking about how EVs handle it. IIRC you'll get less po...

so please watch it and see if you agree I did earlier, watched the whole thing. Yes, he explains where to connect power to instead. My point is, I think this video was during an interim stage where Damien mis-attributed the reason for the failure to not bypassing the boost converter. He later disco...

Because of legislation change?

You were there two weeks ago and they had several.

I was considering it just from the point of view of reducing clutter and opening up some space inside the box to bridge/reroute the stock OEM battery connector to the proper bus bars where we need to inject the battery pack voltage to. So, as far as I understand, that's the part you don't need to d...

Please make sure this ends up in the wiki!

It's a pick your poison type of thing. You'll run into problems either way. I've never heard anything good about the Olimex boards you use, and have heard nothing but good things about the D1 Minis (which I use). I believe Brattitude was making or going to make Olimex --> D1 converter adapters becau...

... some say his long form videos have been known to cure insomnia I'm 90 seconds in and he's succeeding in laying out a tarp, riveting. I'm 26 minutes in and he's succeeded in removing a seat! As I'm at the 50% mark, I presume it will take equally long to remove the other seat. ... "We'll try...

would love to hear more detail / see pics of how you gutted the buck boost converter please if possible Just FYI, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there's a need to remove the Buck/Boost converter. You just don't use it. Just that in his specific case, it was blown, so, had to be remo...

One of the frustrating things about not having a deep understanding of these things, is that I don't think anyone ever goes out and says the most basic overview type stuff. I think the Zombieverter just tells the OEM hardware what to do, according to original OEM CAN signals. So you can't get it to ...

Should be better administered than the former (but that is not hard at all :o How dare you. image.png There's still the Eval Bum website. Though I don't know what community supports it or steers people there, 2022 they were still getting a post every 2 weeks, last year only a post every 2 months. I...

Looks like a Damien McGuire special. GS450H and an i3 charger. The 240z is the enemy of my Opel GT. When the 240z came out, it buried the GT. Very similar styling, similar small size and light weight, but a trunk that actually opens and a back seats rather than a shelf the size of rear seats with no...

I like how you label your bins directly. Not on a label, no, right onto the bin. Because you're a realist. You know that the bin will never be repurposed. That would imply that the purpose of a bin that holds things, is for the things in the bin to eventually be removed from the bin and used. No no,...

How are you so much smarter than the rest of us?

Obviously I withdraw my vote in favor of this suggestion.

everything before that seems like some sort of "thinking out loud"? Everything I say is just me thinking out loud :P I am not trying to be rude I am just trying to decipher what your intent is... You talked about what you might want to do with various analog gauges. You talked about how t...

That said a forum isn't quite comparable to email as you can click on a partial quote and it'll take you to the full original post. Also the quoting is more visually explicit than ">". Yeah, my point was just "People are idiots even on subjects where they are expected to not be idiot...

Besides, am I the only one who is "triggered" by posts containing 50 lines of (pretty random) quote and 1 line of reply? When I was a kid, our elderly internet forefathers taught us manners and etiquette. "Pretend it was paper and you were having to write it out by hand, that's how m...

well sh!t, I guess now I'm an influencer Well, there's two times in your life when a guy might be living with his mother. One is when he's young and hasn't become a man, and the other is when his mother is elderly and needs taking care of. The good news for your mother is, now that you're an influe...

I've been told by Artur that the Camry is closer to the Lexus GS450h That would be a Camry inverter spinning a GS450H motor. I think he means use the Prius inverter to spin a Camry transaxle, as the transaxle is more powerful than the Prius one and we're limited by motor power not inverter power. ....

To state the obvious, the point of a gauge is to display useful information to the driver. Not just to display things, there's a reason we display things. If you consider the speedometer to be the #1 gauge for information the driver can use, the tach was probably #2. The Tach tells the driver the RP...

Hate this change. Hate this kind of thing. And who with a cell phone these days can select text? At least the old quote button sort of works for them too.

It will be simpler than gen3, purely because once the psd on gen 2 is welded both mg1 and mg2 will spin as the same speed and more evenly contribute torque to the reduction gears, You two posts here sum up YEARS worth of various threads that I've never been able to keep track of and that no one has...

Well the 2nd gen Chargers command many bucks for basically a vin tag and half a firewall, so it'll be a while. Recently saw a video of just that, vin and, not even a firewall, the rest is rotted, no frame, would fall to pieces if you took it off the moving dolly it's on. ... $21,000. https://youtu....
