Re: Ford Eluminator- have you got yours working?

For 1500 without an inverter, and no support from aftermarket for decent prices. Other motors are better options. You can get a more powerful m3 motor with built-in inverter for half that price. And there is a good amount of support.

With the new board does this make the 990 have the same output potential as 980 models?

Re: Leaf Gen 1 Inverter Board

I was hoping to match both the replacement board and zombie. I am under the impression that replacing the board will allow you to go past the 80kw of the stock limit, and zombie will.allow you to control it via can bus.

On the wiki there is the table for the current supported OEM inverters, can we had a column to it that has max KW achieved with either zombie or oi inverter?
I will try to gather this information from the forum, but I am sure people already know this off their head.
