Zombie verter Imiev?

Post by DkubusEV »

Has anyone ever used the zombie verter vcu with a Mitsubishi Imiev motor and matching inverter yet?

Seeing as how I've ordered a zombie verter now for one of my other drive train projects (gs450h) I'm keen to give it a try.

Anyone who has had any experience with Imiev and the zombie I'd love to hear from you. Would be great to eventually add the Imiev drive to the list of zombie supported options.

Cheers guys.

The iMIEV has not been reverse engineered as far as I know, so there is no support for it in the ZombieVerter either.

I've read elsewhere that the Imiev and the outlander share similarly however I'm not sure how much. Hopefully enough that it'll help me ...

I'll reply here to keep things more organised.

I don't have access to any imev equipment, but if you do then we can look at the messages coming out, even with out HV to know if those are the same.
Do you have a can logger of some sort?

I don't yet but I'm willing to try and get some CAN logging device.
