oh wow so much space your making me very jealous, you know you going have to buy a battery to fill the void (accidental drunken ebay purchase maybe)
My engine bay feel like a game of turbo tetris

Does look very promising any idea how much you car weighs in at?
Definitely a real useable range assuming fast charges every 50 miles or so, plus you can probably squeeze another 5% by pushing them to 4.1v/cell.
edit: DOH!! just saw why you charged to only 4.05v on the other thread very strange.

TBH given the costs of the units and that we are using them out of scope i would consider best guess would probably be fine as long as its massive different it not going to make a huge difference, plus your not using it in a sealed for life :) rember if you go to a garage to get your car serviced th...

Just put ATF ws into you favourite online shop .. and Toyota hybrid ones sem to appear e.g. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303170596863?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=UtC3VvnORl6&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=cozNEBlYS92&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Added pic ...

I do understand what he said and you are doing the right thing ... There are so many variables involved that jumping in feet first really is the only option. Real world data always is better than analysis as there are always assumptions and simplifications.

I'm using my spaceballs board ..... https://oshwlab.com/EV-Team/spaceballs ...just because i have them to hand :) if your interested make sure you use the RevB as that's the most complete 4 layer board (the S3 version is WIP and based on using a XIAO ESP32S3 and is intended to be DIYable board with ...

I did some thinking and its probably easier to go full ev than its is to go PHEV. all you have to do to make a full ev is to spoof enough commands that the car thinks its idling so that you can use ac etc. Then just use zombie to power the gearbox. Although there allot of technical hacking and gener...

OK i'm an idiot!!! (Occam's razor) The simplest way is the right way !! This is basically a rehash of Blinkwithoutdelay (https://assiss.github.io/arduino-zhcn/cn/Tutorial/BlinkWithoutDelay.html) as we a not dealing with super fast frequencies just using the raw rower of the esp32 is enough to create...

An Interesting and potentially challenging project although i am quite tempted to do similar with an LS600H if they ever become cheap. By the way I mean none of this in a discouraging way, it is going to be difficult and you are going where no one has gone before but it could be achievable as long a...

Sadly the dealers spares department are the most unhelpful breed of person out there, it's not just isolated to Toyota they all seem to be just as unhelpful. There's a reason why we will try every other avenue first. Both me and my wife own Toyota's however we have stopped taking them back for the r...

Well 75mph is probably achievable even with a high ratio diff and small tyres such as my Mazda, should be achievable with the bigger wheels of the brz

Depends if the actual lever does anything I guess, as if you can request negative torque then it's sort of pointless

One very cheap cable driven throttle sensor is 9643365680. It's used on French cars. I don't know the pinout, but it seems to be a 4 pin sensor so not too difficult to test and find out using a current limited power supply. I would be very surprised if it didn't provide simple analog signals when s...

for general reading the 2010 gen3 prius inverter tear doen by oak ridge national lab....
https://info.ornl.gov/sites/publication ... b26762.pdf

The prius (gen 3) inverters have a 750v caps (on the motor side), the auris/yaris inverters have 650v caps (i think the later gen4's have a 650v cap also but have only had apart a yaris & gen 3 prius inverter ) tbh we dont make much use of the HV dcdc in the prius unless your running the 12v dcd...

Your making me jelous
Everything always seems to take 10x longer than we think.. I would of just taken bulbs out for the mot
Anyone know what is required to work on the dash for an MOT? Do we need rev counter? Etc do we actual need an EML if we don't have a VCU?

im not sure there is anyone on here that has that muck knowledge about the enovia inverter...Damian (formally of this form did make a new brain board) https://github.com/damienmaguire/Enova-Inverter edit.. wolf (not of this forum might be able to do something for you {probably as a consultant/fee] a...

it needs to be done in software as the hardware timers do not work at low frequencies...the problem i found i hadwas it went in steps for the esp32 using hardware timers...(which used in the clip)... i will update with some arduino code for a nano shortly... edit: I believe this is code that can be ...

Maybe time to think outside the box? Why not fit the chargeport under the front numberplate (put plate on hinges) or mount the chargeport in the front grill (3d printed rubbery cap maybe) and there's even the option of just putting it under the bonnet and poping the Binet when you need fast charge. ...

I haven't seen anything in my travels...
The only suggestion is mounting the socket end in one of these and putting it in the transmission tunnel.

I would say your in good company
It's the slight problem when you choose the car you want not just something that's randomly cheap.

i definitely wouldn't want to sell a converted car, just remember what happened with the red arrow and the batteries! as johu said selling to someone that you know who would understand how it works is probably the best option. as with all modified cars they are normally wort only a fraction of the b...

It's just the motor, it's damn heavy to move by hand ...(don't ask me how I know)

Personally I would hook up the kerosene heater (at least on a switch) so that when its really cold you range doesn't plumit, a few grams of kerosine when its really cold istnt really going to make a massive difference at least compared to the boiler in the house (unless you are luck enough for a wel...

Battery box out again!! New (brake) hardliners added...wasn't happy with the old passenger side one as it could get crushed by the battery box if I had a big smash, so I re-routed it ... Drivers side also had to be replaced as the joint between the flexible (which I was replacing) and the hard line ...
