LS600H Gearbox Inverter Options

Post by montyjohn »

Hi. If I got a LS600H gearbox would the GS450H inverter along with the VCU from evBmw work out of the box? Or would it be more complicated. I need a solution that can accept a 4WD transfer box.

I'm also interested in thoughts on actually using this as a hybrid box. As I understand, with an engine attached the eCVT can be adjusted by energising MG1 (in reverse I think).
Does the VCU take in vehicle speed and maybe a few spare inputs that could be used for engine rpm. If so I assume I could design a table to make it work with an ICE.

I also like the idea of making an electronic crank lock so in EV mode both MG1 and MG2 could be powered to release it's full potential. Lexus chose not to do this so there may be a good reason why this is a bad idea. I was thinking it could be ratcheted so if it failed the engine could still turn in the correct direction.

The only limit is my wallet and my skill. Oh and time.
