I got a universal kit and adjusted them once fitted. The main issue to avoid is the travel when they are at their lowest point, ie, wheels lifted off the ground. The driveshafts need to clear the chassis.

Somebody been very busy and done a great job explaining CP and PP . I'll have to put this in practice.

The opening up of the locking mechanism was a great help in understanding PP and CP resistance. Will get a multimeter out on the back of the plug then to confirm

After much thought, I put in my vote. Whilst I have a similar project 'sitting here ' running a locked up Prius Gen 2, I could vote for that and hope it helps me get a move on ... However, I feel the setup could be easier if a motor is mounted to the original gearbox....like a Smart. The low châssis...

Just wandering, as there's one at work I could have stuck a multimeter onto if it helped.

Did you manage to get those resistance values? Only saw your post now...

As with all change curmudgeons like me will complain at first, and then begrudgingly accept it later. Whether or not it's actually better or worse is independent of this. Hear you, however there are many times where threads are too long.... don't get me starred on carbon footprint of resending data...

I will get back to Bender this week. They asked for a description of my project and possible opportunities in the future.... I guess they want to see if its worth their while or if this is a one off. I will incorporate the ISA shunt as the alternative and reference. That way I can compare "appl...

Please note the Shunt is HV referenced, you NEED a digital isolator somewhere in your interface. [/quote] For clarification/understanding - the shunt monitors and calculates current and voltage measurements. The digital isolator that you speak of is another component.If so, what are you using with t...

Any luck with the charger, HV wiring and charger port?

Isabellenhütte has now published information about IVT 3 Pro which comes with an isolatiom monitoring option: https://www.isabellenhuetteusa.com/dc-current-and-voltage-sensors-ivt-series/ Maybe it's worth asking whether it's available, and what's the minimum quantity and price? I'm going to see wha...

I,ve been contacted by Bender Germany asking for more details regarding our conversions. I am making up a little presentation explaining that if we find a component that can monitor isolation with CAN bus communication, we would be interested in bulk orders (at the right price). Basically, an option...

Love the project. Gives me the kick I need to move onto next steps. Thanks for sharing and developing

Sorry to hear this. And if you go back to earlier version it works?

Depends, the 'battery' is a glorified accumulator. It stores energy quickly and uses it up just as fast. Voltage before Inverter, as in battery pack voltage is around 200vdc. The inverter buck/boost controls voltage in and out if it, from what I worked out. Damien made a video showing the voltage af...

A potential leak through a HV relay/ contactor? Anything higher than 60vdc is considered high voltage in automotive world. Hope you find the source,even if it's ok, always good to watch out for potential short circuits.

I personally find this a very interesting idea and lots has been learned from the Prius Gen2 setup. I have a 2nd adapter board waiting to go in for dual motor setup. Where I live, homebrew EV is a no-go, so I am doing this as a potential professional project, learning as much as I can from this 'bas...

In terms of part numbers, the links from @jalovick are an excellent starting point

As long as we keep each other safe and lookout for the greater good (public), and buy the Mrs some nice clothes from time to time, take kids to movies, and change those brakes for a close family member, there's no cutting off limits for failure. You're driving to the local grocer!!! I'm not allowed ...

Are you saying that the charger is hard wired directly to the battery high voltage before the relays (as in it's part of the battery)? If so, your voltage from charger would be higher, as it's basically taking measurements at your positive and negative poles. Voltage drops will occur further on depe...

I know I want to be your biggest pain and get gregski to do the write up

I would like to help get a solution for these units. I'm getting up to date with CAN sniffing etc and hope by testing I can help create a plugin solution..

Looking for a MEB charger, preferably supported by OI code that Damien piloted some time back.
I am looking for the charge port and cabling to match as well.

Not a pro here, but how accurate are your gains for il1 and il2. It seems I had similar issues using 200v battery pack. There is a link somewhere as to how to test and calibrate them. Will try to find them tonight and link it in

Think of nominal battery voltage - 351v, as being the in-between of max and min operation voltages
