Re: L210 gearbox
The idea initially was to use either a L210 or the P314 I was mentioning. I was advised against it and got curious, sorry for any inconvenience here I might have caused you, sir.

Re: L210 gearbox
Nice Mr. Compton, thanks for the info! Leaf motors are really hard to come by here in my country, not the case with the Prius though. Is there any version of it that could support up to 105kW? I reckon it can be controlled with the inverter board v3, any tips on the conversion?

Re: L210 gearbox
My idea, actually, is to fit just the MG2 middle section directly onto the manual transmission with an adapter plate, the front and rear parts would be "discarded". I've come across a P314 transmission assembly from a Lexus NX300h and that also could be a viable option, but I would have to ditch the ...

Re: L210 gearbox
Cheers to everyone, I'm very new to this open source inverter route and sure can learn a lot from all the people here. I'm thinking also of using this L210 transmission for a conversion project of a VW Polo. Chrskly, could you possibly weigh that transmission assy? I'm also planning on ditching the ...
