Re: Unlocking the power/torque of Prius gen 3 drive train?

Thanks Tom, anything else I can try in the interim?

I have a crude resistance rope setup on each drive hub that I could use to increase the load.

Any point in trying MG1 & MG2 together for a spin?

I am currently fabricating the drivetrain mounts to fit on the Ghia pan.

Re: Unlocking the power/torque of Prius gen 3 drive train?

Have just welded the Prius Power split device and reassembled.

Did a quick test using MG2 only with revlim set to 13000

Is there anything else I can do?

Thanks

What are you going to do with all the “spare” battery boxes, fittings and cooling racks? I have mine and cannot think of what to do with it!

Great stuff! Can’t wait for you to figure out how to connect the two packs (one or two safety boxes) and the charging setup.

Yes, avoid the red bushes if you want to keep your fillings!
