IMA-EV mod

IMA-EV mod

2016 Hybrid festival at Geralds place was a great gathering.
The highlight for me was to see that Mudder was so far along on his Linsight project and the end was in sight.
For me this is a dream come true, big batteries means MIMA is not limited any longer after all those MPG runs where you just needed a bit moor juice to hole on to that 110 MPG in theory one could have 75 Ah of batteries
The best partis that he has totally hacked the BMS and MCM and is replacing them with Linsight that alone removed a lot of the mystery as to how that part of the system was controlled.
What was the other dream from day one, Pure EV mode.
That is what we will devote at least 2 Saturday workshops weather permitting per month until we get this done.
First meeting is Sept 10
9-10AM may run all afternoon.?

Have a good Insight engine IMA motor, a 5 speed, some rotors,flywheels to measure look at the options.
