Dear forum
I'm not experienced with EV/hybrid conversions, but experience has to come from somewhere. Therefor I've decided to plan a hybrid conversion of my MB w124 (OM606).
As far as I can read there are two ways, either the Lexus 450H gearbox or the BMW (ZF) GA8P75HZ. Since I'm not a fan of CVT, I think the BMW gearbox is the best way.
Are there anyone who has done such a conversion and can point me in the right direction regarding controller, wiring, project descriptions (websites) etc.?
Best regards
Carsten

Moin Carsten,
I'd consider the GS/IS/RC300h gearbox (L210) as well, as it's more compact than the 450H one.
The Wiki (e.g. https://openinverter.org/wiki/I_want_a_ ... Conversion) is a good starting point.

It is also worth noting that the lexus option is much more developed and tested in conversions than the BMW and they are not a traditional CVT like those that use a belt of chain, and as such are free of the design issues experienced by these other CVTs
