Today I did a small motor, coupler, and gearbox test. Tried first second and reverse gear. Used 1500W ebike controller and hoverboard battery, amazing what those cheap things can do sensorless.

At the moment it turns out that: motor works ...

Buggy drives ok now. I am beginning to understand some of the openinverter parameters. We have to improve some motor mounts a little and maybe try gearbox oil pump also, at the moment it's not connected. Also I haven't connected the charging automation Auris board has some outputs but I haven't ...

I ordered VW 13kWh hybrid battery pack because it has water cooling and it should fit without modification into the trunk of my car.
According to this forum, VW battery measurements should be 950 X 600 X 200mm and the Subaru trunk width is 1100mm and lenght 960mm.
Damien has said in his videos and ...

Adapter plate and coupler done!

Here is info on what it is controlling and what not https://openinverter.org/wiki/ZombieVer ... gers/DCDCs:

And there it says:
Chargers/DCDCs:
Nissan Leaf PDM (Charger and DCDC) Gen1,2 & 3

I have not tested myself yet but I am going to, maybe even this year!

Thank you! It fits into my Subaru boot!

I made a lasercut cardboard template to see if measurements are ok.

plasmacut the spacer out of 10mm steel

and that's how it looks

I made the coupler from Leaf reducer part where I had to cut input shaft shorter and turn a space for subaru clutch disk center piece

welded them together


thats how it looks on the subaru gearbox

Now need to work on the spline shaft coupler things

Now that the schoolyear is ending I have done a few things on my Subaru.
My colleague changed rear boot lid, with students, old one was veru rusty, fortunately I got other one just the same color and rust free!

Cut off the differential part from the leaf reducer case half ...

But what about the MG2 current sensor socket of the Yaris board? Found in the Wiki that pins could be reversed and “will kill the -5v output of PS1”. But with note “This is Block ii version and below.”
What does that mean? :?:


If I remember correctly then that Block version is written on the ...

Now I got this far that it's clear that 80V is enough to run this buggy faster then safe with that frame construction!
Got bigger current and better acceleration also!
Amazing this openinverter FOC software!

This month I am going to learn how to tune the FOC software

Here's the link from wiki: https://openinverter.org/wiki/Using_FOC_Software
all the first points have been done and I believe are alright and now I need to test those parameters:

The default values or curkp and curki can usually stay ...

Its similar to Sumimoto TS 025 female connector that we use with Outlander system P/N 6189-1092.
Pins are Female P/N 8100-3455 ... and male P/N 8100-3617

You can get all of them them here...

At the moment buggy drives a little slowly. Battery voltage is about 80V maybe it's not possible to get more speed at that voltage?
Maybe someone who has more prius inverter tuning experience sees here on the pictures what to adjust to get more power. More power is needed because it doesn't want to ...

Got the buggy driving to take part of car engineering student event in rallycross track organized by TTK - University of Applied Sciences.
Only our school had running electric buggy.
Other one was ofcourse world nr.1 in 2024 Formula Student car.
Thanks to my colleague, who's driving, he did and ...

I have adapter plates for this, but if you want do them your self have the files posted

Thanks I'll memorize your offer If I cannot make those plates myself. I have CNC plasma table at work. I am not sure if plasma is good enough accuracy for this kind of work but I'd give it a try. I use half ...

Sweet build! I'll be following along since I'm also considering converting my '06 Outback. It sounds like you're planning on packaging the battery under the hood which makes sense, I've been struggling with figuring out how to package the modules in my build. Do you have any plans for active ...

Successfully tested on the Canbus so far:

Power steering and steering angle sensor
Orion BMS
BMW Lim
IBooster Brake

On the Zombieverter VCU:
Electric power pedal
Brake pedal
Forward/reverse switch and 4WD switch
Cruise Control
Heater control

Pretty nice for a 1996 Impreza :)


How did you ...

I'm letting the original ECU believe it still in charge. So i have to keep it happy.. Throttle valve, EGR, massflow, fuel pressure valve and turbo boost valve now lives under the stereo.
Fuel temp, fuel level, fuel pressure, air temp and some more are simulated with resistors.

Crankshaft and ...

But some times not long enough. Masonite is a bit cheaper to mess up than 40mm alu.

Do you have the gearbox CAD drawing?

Trying for the first time how the Leaf motor fits

Motor and gearbox shafts are touching but there's still a gap. I'll make a adapter plate from steel about 14mm thickness. Motor position in this car is strange it's not horisontal and a lot of room is wasted under the ...

Johu, Celeron, many many thanks.

They both have advantages and disadvantages. But in my planned installation I will need canbus mtm anyway for airbag deletion, smart key door sensor removal, climate control removal (no doors, no roof) and probably other bits I haven't thought of yet.



I'm not ...

I need to figure out some modifications for motor mounting because under the rear seat it's not ok. I have to lower the motor a little bit and remove the original bar with many rubber mounts. Then also I relocate the inverter from luggage compartment to under the seat, where fuel tank used to be ...

Today washed the car and lifted up for the first time. Under body plastic covers were broken and they carried a lot of sand. Some bolts didn't come loose and snapped. Removed the exhaust pipe I'll try to sell it, seems like its stainless steel so I don't know if anybody needs it.
In the summer I ...
