The car is finished!

Just light maintenance now, but I've driven the car every day since it was inspected on 2026-01-16.

So great that everything works even at -35C in Sweden.

Nice Work!

Okay it's there now, but I'll have to rebuild all the mounting points as the anti-roll bar will kick in, the electric motor is too low, ground clearance is a problem, I don't want the motor to be the lowest point. but it'll do.

What batteries & BMS are ...

I'm in the planning stages of this build.

Have decided on a Tesla model s Smal drive unit. This for 300hp original and that the orientation fits quite well, from a model 3 the motor is facing the wrong way and will take in from below, ass in the floor ...

I think I need more help or guidance.

What hardware should I buy?

Saw your meter housing in another thread, really cool, could you make something similar for me?
For a buck or two maybe?

I'm just about to start a project with a 996 from 2001, the engine is finished as the timing chain has gone.. Fairly new to this canbus thing, have done conversions before but this will be the first car I need to dive into canbus, is there a site where I can read more about the subject? Where I can ...

That is a UP28 which is a supporting pump and not powerful enough to be used as a stand alone pump.
See also my blog https://www.evcreate.com/vacuum-pump-power-brakes/
A UP30 is the smallest one suitable as stand alone (but noisy).
If you want vacuum. I'd suggest to use an early Tesla one (also ...

About that... Megane flywheel is setup for 60-2-2 signal. So there is 57 teeth with one long gap worth 2 teeth and 2 teeth together. This is so ECM will know when a full revolution is performed. You need to count flywheel teeth and then program your VCU so it will output that signal at about ...

The S70 should have an OBD connector in the center console under the armrest. Personally I'm not yet at a stage where I would worry about the ABS, but from what I can tell from the Signal Specification, it doesn't need any inputs from the ECM to be happy.


You have nothing to worry about either ...

Managed to find the fault, it was an abs sensor that kept failing, after I replaced it everything worked after a test drive. Many thanks to everyone involved in this problem

ABS needs to see correct rate of change on wheel sensors together with some RPM signal from the engine.
Also when there is any error on the ABS you cant clear it stationary. Computer needs to observe all wheels spinning to clear the light. You should provide engine running state and then drive a ...

What great knowledge you guys have! It almost brings tears to my eyes Many thanks! Now I have to hunt for a new pump so I get the right type of brake assist. Many thanks again!

Ah! I almost understood that when I ran the pump yesterday without any valve that regulates the pressure, so the pump was running at full speed all the time, still slow to brake. Many thanks for the help Lars!

I'm going to measure the entire abs system this Saturday, all sensors and cables to them ...

I think the abs is not satisfied due to the lack of the petrol engine, have you got any tips on how I can get the abs to work?

Okay here comes my project on a Volvo S70.

The car can be driven but still has a few things to inspect.

Abs is on and I would need your help to turn off the light :D

Most likely why the brakes feel sluggish, uses a vacuum pump from volvo s80 with ...

The speedometer works, so that should mean the speed is output via the abs, but the abs light is on, tried running PWM on the tachometer "B21" from the engine management side to the gauge housing, the tachometer responds but still the abs light. Will not be able to read error codes on my car as it ...
