GS450H Inverter with a Leaf Motor?

Might be changing my setup. I may want to keep the Manual transmission and Install a Leaf motor to power it.
Problem is I already have the GS450H Inverter and Damien's VCU.

Is it possible to run a LEAF motor using a GS450H inverter or any other Toyota Inverter?

I think I know the answer to this but, I would like to hear from someone else before I decide to purchase a LEAF motor.
Thanks.

The VCU setup is designed to work with the stock setup, so unfortunately without a Open Inverter full control board (which I think someone is working on for the Camry variant), the answer is no, it's not going to work. Sorry.

Get the leaf inverter, it's controlled over CAN and I believe the Lexus VCU and leaf VCU are very similar, so leaf software might run on the Lexus one. The new vcu will definitely do both.
