Re: BMW E60 2007 conversion

Hey Greg, i already started taking the audi apart.
from what i recall my setup always peaked at about 130Amp 386V when i floor it with a full battery.
i calculated that to be around the 60hp that the hybrid camry has when its driving on electric power.

sooo, after mechanically locking the gs450h in HIGH gear and installing it back in the car, it wouldnt spin.... i got scared, but it was due to lose contact in the resolver wiring. after fixing that, the car drove fine.

i let it charge up and the next morning i drove it to work, oil pump ...

Re: GS450H gearbox with Camry inverter G9200-33171 [SOLVED]

In theory getting rid of the external oil pump all together if possible.
The oil pump provide pressure for the clutch plates, you can choose high or low gear. But the oil pump is known to fail. No oil pump means no driving
Locking the gs in high gear means no oil pump yes driving
But no changing ...

Yes worked on that, see latest commit.

Now where do we stand?

- Mario runs 96S with v2.2, how does that go?

on 120v ac if you pull more than 10amps AC, the voltage drops so low that the charger resets itself, and tries again.
