So, all components removed and tracks jumpered up. Swapped R2 out for a 22k for now as it's all i had lying about.
Am I right with the wiring here on each of the connectors?

I'm happy for the press coverage. I'm just a bit sad to see how openinverter is never mentioned. In the two interviews i did, I dropped Openinverter in there plenty and how i would have not got where i was if not for the community built up around it. Guess anyone would start to glaze over going int...

Thanks johannes! Good to hear. I was hedging my bets at approx 80-100km. Like you I have been put off by spurious soc readings and the voltage sag I see on some road tests. I don't have the BMS up and running properly yet so waiting till ibget that sorted before I start trialling long runs similar t...

I'm taking mine a step further and looking at swapping out the TRW for the Corsa B/C EPAS column. I imagine it operates the same as the Leaf or Prius steering column units. Corsa C Steering.png You can also get an aftermarket pot you fit to the dash to allow you dial up or down the responsiveness. h...

Some have reported overtemp issues mounting them in a vertical position. Particularly when running the charger at capacity. My one is vertical and I've not had any issues but I was super thorough when bleeding the system (I bled it in a horizontal position then moved it in place). Agree with that. ...

Brill. Thanks. I'll have a play around

I think with the inversion stage skipped it should do. Gotta ltspice that. Basically T2 and R4 removed and collector of T1 bridged over to R5. And voltage divider R1/R2 adjusted so T1 activates at 4V or 3V, whichever is appropriate. Thanks again Johannes for sending the unit on. So, as outlined, re...

Hey Colm Great to see you pressing ahead with the build! There are already a couple of boat projects here afaik. Can put up some photos to give us an idea what you are looking at? On the questions, here's my stab.... 1. I am leaving the out drive Alpha One Leg and going to marry up the Leaf motor to...

AH, very good. You are way further down the road thinking of Open Pilot than me Brave move. I am still at the stage where I am jumping at every noise the car makes... even though they probably made them when ICE powered.
New rabbit hole for me to jump down so! Thanks

Hi all Just something I stumbled across today. I was out in the car and showing it to my local mechanic who also specialises in rally and track 1960's Mini's. He showed me what is used as a weapon of choice in small rally cars these days and according to him, takes an incredible amount of abuse and ...

Ah brilliant! That was a cracking read. And that VHS! Well done. Gotta love those Sunbeam Tigers. Amazing seeing the kit in Otmars test car there too. I feel like cheated so much now in my build with just having to drop in Damiens VCU, lol. Well and truly standing on the shoulders of giants.

If there's any extra work involved johannes for the bosch sensor, I'll gladly fork out for a working unit

It's hard coded :) The RC filter (R2/C1+C2) is responsible I could use one of these too. Just bench tested the Bosch 0265 005 321 Vacuum Brake Servo Sensor from the Zafira C. It works off 5v. At no vac pressure, it sites at 0.7v and when you get to max vac, it hits just over 4v. Reckon the populate...

Ah for sure. I jumped in the car yesterday after 3 weeks of not touching it (If you can believe ) and it clicked into action with not an issue. So happy with the extra work I put in. Just bench testing the new brake boost set up I have before taking things apart again.

Cheers! Was only saying to someone earlier, if it wasn't for Covid induced unemployment, I would be nowhere like where I am now.
Got to get me a load of those. thanks. Keep it lit

Awe man. That's tidy.
What type of ties are you using there for the HV cables under the body? Way-hey better than my 'cable ties a go-go' attempt

Cool!
Looking good bigpie. Keep it lit.

I would rather stick to the OEM's myself. By the way, got all my brake boost parts including the Bosch 0265 005 321 Vacuum Brake Servo Sensor so plan this week to swap the servo from hydraulic to vac, get the UP28 in, test with the sensor and this vac reservoir PN 443131541 and report back. These ar...

Cookie, did you ever get to the bottom of the Kilovac contactor issue? Hey! Sorry, been busy getting back to work. Wasn't ignoring! It turned out, after EXTENSIVE testing that the Kilovacs seems to be not the cause of my turmoil. It all seemed to come down to noise appearing on the aux USB wires fr...

Thank you. Hope things get easier across any other counties the more of us go through the process.

Edit: I have updated the Wiki

Ok, good day today. After the local motor tax office in Wicklow holding onto the paperwork for almost a month, I got the call today from them to say they finally got around to paying a bit of attention to my file and they gave it the thumbs up. Rubber stamped. The Audi 8e is now an EV :D The last pi...

The real problem i see is using brake switch. I think we would need more variation of them. I had a problem with Dracarys switch. It is easy to use, but it is terribly unreliable. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dracarys-Accessories-Electric-Vacuum-Booster/dp/B07H9664YM It locks off at random. I found it ...

I'll try knock something up with one of my bluepills and see if it'll keep the car happy. There's probably a fair bit I can delete. I unfortunately have a belt drive P/S pump :( TRW electric PS pump, €35 from the breakers, to the rescue :lol: https://openinverter.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3...

Howdy Cookie - Alibro got your distress call to me. I have a couple of ZE0 BMS's here. Both functional at the point of removal. Better to attempt the repair using Johu's 'parts' offer first rather than risk frying another one though would be my initial thinking though. Hey, good stuff! Much appreci...
