Re: Chevy Volt Inverter Still Used?

I had 5 made. They just arrived. I'm trying to find some connectors, because I prefer not to reuse the old ones. If I get the board working, I might be willing to sell a couple of the remaining board to recoup some of my cost.

Chevy Volt Inverter Still Used?

Is anyone using Chevy volt inverters in new builds? If not what it the alternative for a programmable inverter based on OEM hardware? Is that not a thing anymore?

The replacement main boards aren't for sale anywhere. Is anyone getting some made?

Here is a better photo of the Tahoe board. I would prefer not to open the volt inverter right now, but those are already on the internet.

Re: [WIP] Jeep 2ML70 Conversion

Yes! The Volt Inverter was my original plan, but I switched. The toyota inverters are very common in the junk yards around here, so I'm a little disappointed. Its not a huge deal, because I have all three inverters (Tahoe, Volt, and Prius) sitting around here.

The Tahoe and Volt Inverters are made ...

Re: [WIP] Jeep 2ML70 Conversion

Thanks. You saved me from a lot of future frustration. I beleive the ratio is 1 to 1. I see a couple of options:
1. Use a Gen 3 Prius Controller Board
2. Hack the Tahoe's Inverter, such that I can control it.

#1
Cons:Costs ~$350
Pros: Known setup and control process. Still need to VCU, which I ...

because you can’t just hook up any motor to Prius inverter if it’s controlled by zombie
Why not? Is there some motor to inverter communication that's missing?

[WIP] Jeep 2ML70 Conversion

I'm going to convert some type of Jeep vehicle from the mid to late 90s or early 2000s using a 2009 Chevy Tahoe Hybrid transmission. I don't have the vehicle picked out yet. I'm trying to develop the powertrain right now.

Electric Oil Pump Recommendations

Does anyone have a source for a transmission agnostic electric oil pump? Am I wrong in thinking that these hybrid transmissions could using an external pump as apposed to their OEM pump? I just need to close off the opening where the OEM pump attached.
