Re: E46 Touring Project Engine Delete

I've removed it and the subframe does seem to line up better, looks pretty hard to tap into the oil ports on the DU as they're an odd shape, but it does seem to fit alright in the normal position with a little bit more cutting of the subframe

Re: E46 Touring Project Engine Delete

I’ve removed some of the gubbins from the subframe and it fits much nicer now. Almost a perfect fit! Does need to come down and forward a bit, so may have to cut out the bottom of the subframe, and the coolant ports seem to get in the way but apart from that seems pretty good. If anyone knows anythi...

Re: Hyundai/Kia Batteries

I asked EV-Breakers for some info on the pack and they came back with this

450kg pack
10 modules
4x ‘short modules’ 430 x 370 x 300mm - 27 cells
6x ‘long modules’ 480 x 370 x300mm - 30 cells

Seems a bit heavy for a 64kwh (net) pack but good value per kWh

Re: Hyundai/Kia Batteries

Does anyone have any info on the modules (i.e dimensions, weight, BMS) from the Kona EV e-niro as they have started to crop up at under £100/kWh so could be a good option

Cant seem to find much about them online yet

Anyone have any experience sending pallets from England to Ireland (or the other way around). I have someone interested in my GS450H components and they are based in Northern Ireland.

Re: Registering and changing tax class of an EV conversion in the UK

I imagine it's a lot easier to convince the DVLA when your a firm doing many conversions a month vs a random 17yr old converting the car in your dads garage.. hope I'm wrong.

Very nice developments. Do you already know how the maximum charge current is defined in de LIM? Will this be fixed to the 50kW i3 speed or can we expect faster CCS charging speeds? 50kW seems a bit slow for today's standards. Anyway still super interesting!
