Re: Yaris Gen4 iBooster Gen2
Hi, how did you find the right MC? Unfortunately my OEM MC has an 89mm bolt spacing whereas the one uses in the ibooster I have is 100mm. I could fabricate am adapter plate and extend the pushrod but something using the right bolt spacing, bore, hydraulic ratio and brake line connections would be ...

Re: Yaris Gen4 iBooster Gen2
Hi,
so just as of today I got the Yaris iBooster up and running in my MX-5.
ATM I am not entirely happy with the brake feel. The brake is stiff for a splitt second, then starts to go down to breaking point - I thought there should be more generic feel to the pedal. The breaking itself is ...

Re: Custom LV (12V) fuse/relay box question
Have a look at 280 size relays, I wire up all sorts of conversions with these and don't have issues other than when you over do the current draw, 25a is to much for the pins more than relays
Lots of size options and open layout plan let's you do what you want with the number of fuses or relays ...

Re: Custom LV (12V) fuse/relay box question
Thanks for the responses. Space is definitely a factor, so micro relays are preferred. I won't be cheaping out on poor quality parts, so as long as there are no general concerns then I think my mind is made up

Custom LV (12V) fuse/relay box question
Hi all,
I'm starting work on a custom fuse box for a conversion. It will cover only low voltage systems. I am considering the MTA modular system, but I am going back and forth on a query.
For relays (fog lights, head lights, horn, etc), are there any preferences between "standard" relays (e.g ...

Re: Yaris Gen4 iBooster Gen2
Bleeding the brakes is a job for me this weekend. I didn't bench-bleed my master and new lines, so there's a fair amount of air in there, but the plan was always to do a flush as it's been about ten years since the last brake fluid flush anyway.

Re: Yaris Gen4 iBooster Gen2
A small amount of "exciting news";
I ended up buying a whole iBooster/master cylinder from Lithuania for ~£110 just for the reservoir :? At least I've got it now, and it fits like a glove in the car :D . I can also sell off the iBooster and reservoir-less master cylinder on the bay to make the ...

Re: DVLA call for evidence
My issue with the comments are the dramatic uses of words like "unknown stresses and strains" and "massive weight of the batteries". Because the stresses and strains are known, we know the nm of torque the motor outputs and the weight of it. The massive weight isn't always that massive, sometimes ...

Re: Yaris Gen4 iBooster Gen2
I'll be sniffing LIN and WKUP as soon as possible - I'm intrigued. The +12V and GND are obvious of course, and OUT seems to be the line for providing working power to the iBooster in case of a power cut. The other two must be to do with identifying a power cut condition but I'm just guessing.

Re: Yaris Gen4 iBooster Gen2
Update on the reservoir - after further browsing and googling, I've found that the reservoir from a VW Golf Mk7 or Passat B8 (LHD version) not only matches the clocking of the Yaris master cylinder, but fits the package space I have and has the fluid level sensor on the convenient side of the ...

Re: State of Rex hacking?
Just to throw another idea in the mix, what about the Transit Custom PHEV as a source for a rex? 1.0 ecoboost mated to a generator? I know they're not very common vehicles but could be an interesting study...?

Re: Yaris Gen4 iBooster Gen2
Excellent, thanks.
Don't know about the power level. Assist curve and remote control of the brake can probably be controlled via CAN
I'm hoping to be able to contribute on this one at least - part of my team at work handles ADAS simulation, so they are all over CAN signals and debugging ...

Re: Yaris Gen4 iBooster Gen2
Also, I've been wondering about this "failsafe" mode which is also mentioned. I understand that the theory is that if the CAN signals are absent, the unit will work in this "failsafe" mode, but from what I can tell, other than some diagnostics and the ability to remote-control the pedal, I'm not ...

Re: Yaris Gen4 iBooster Gen2
Ah thanks for the hint. Were there any messages required to kick it into life, or simply the 120ohm termination?

Re: Yaris Gen4 iBooster Gen2
I need to put the wiring loom together and get the hardlines flared, then I will do some CANBUS sniffing and experimentation with the additional inputs and outputs, then I'll post an update

Re: Yaris Gen4 iBooster Gen2
On the wiring, after some searching and an eventual defeat by paywall, I have purchased the wiring manuals for the Yaris MK4. They reveal that the wiring is not the same on the Yaris as it is in other iBooster Gen2 applications.

Re: I bought a Honda CR-V iBooster Gen 1 - Now what?
Nice work! I'm doing this same conversion but on a Miata NB (MX5 in UK). I was wondering, in your pics of the main connector wiring, there was a thin black wire on pin 15 - any idea where that went? Is it another ground connection? I don't see it listed in any of the pinout diagrams I've seen ...
