I have used multiple Tesla pwm controlled pumps and most recently control pump speed by coolant temperature, generally lower speed at cooler temperatures although for battery cooling at lower temperatures ...

here I am fixin' to test a 3rd Gen (2007-2011) Lexus GS450h OEM(ish) harness

Is that your 'Trump Tax' that was meant to be absorbed by the importer costing $36.75?
Oh!, I guess you're the importer. :lol:


honestly that's what I thought but then other folks told me they are accustomed to paying such fees and have been before the recent tariffs, I have not been much of a ...

Too rich for my tastes tho.

I hear you, well it all started with $52 bucks, then the fees, charges and taxes added up

a little sneak peak ahead to Phase III, we will be upgrading to a 6 Killer Whaler battery charger/dc-dc combo unit, and rolling our own contactor/junction box

no Phase II is not completed, you did not miss anything


that gray box looks ridiculous

$112 bones


BMW 530e sBox inside for sizematology reference

BMW i3 Safety Box inside for a size reference

so my OCD made it put it back ...

time for another Report from the Junkyard

since the Lexus GS450h powerplant seems to be a popular conversion combo for rear wheel drive vehicles and since I live 2 miles away from the world's largest wrecking yard that allows you to pull your own parts I figure I will share with you a mini series ...

sorry I am late to the party as per always, would it be possible to get the SME pinout for power and CAN here please I know there's other peeps interested in using these BMW i3 sBoxes as well
