I want to use Gen 3 or gen 5 motor for a civic or mini cooper swap. Id ideally like to run 2 or 4 prius motors. how difficult of a task would this be compared to just using a tesla motor?
This is a very interesting question. I was considering myself perhaps taking two Prius gearboxes and removing mg1 while combining mg2s into one motor. In your case you can consider doing the same for front and rear. But it will not be simple I can tell you that. If you just take each gearbox and inverter as is the weight penalty would be considerable
Hey Ed , good video on FOC tuning , thank you. I'm working on the small (think you have the Yaris/Auris board there) dual board and a L210 RWD gearbox. Today I learnt what the pinswap does with Toyota motors - thank you keep up the good works and videos.
Thank you for your kind words. Unfortunately I have ordered a Prius board and it is a bit too big for my inverter. If you check my video #4 you will see that I had to cut it slightly and drill a new mounting hole. I now wish that I ordered a Yaris Auris board. I planing to order a dual motor board so I will go for a smaller version. I have an idea to try two MG2 with one inverter. But first I need to see how much power I could get running MG2 on connected to MG1 igbt from the inverter
@@LatutaEV I have 5 dual small boards on the way, fully populated except the main processors which I have coming seperately , I'd be happy to send one for you to play with when they get here pm thornogson on the forum to sort this out . The Yaris/Auris inverters although cheaper have smaller capacitors I think. I'm doing this as a learning thing and I'm learning a lot !
Hi. When I start the inverter, a temperature error comes out all the time, I even set the temperature to 150, but still an error about overheating the inverter comes out. That is, the temperature of the radiator goes (allegedly) beyond the permissible limits. I don't even load the inverter yet, but I'm doing a test run. I'm trying to find solutions on the forum, but so far without a result:(. Can you tell me how to fix it? Thank you in advance!
I would look at the circuit diagram and see what voltage you getting on the temperature sensor and see if it is changing or constant. You may have a PCB fault that doesn't give you a true reading
@@LatutaEV Thank you for replying. That's a good idea, I didn't think of it. I would also like to know where the radiator temperature sensor is:). Thanks again.
I use Open Inverter software. It could be found on Johannes Hubner GitHub page. He actually recently released a new version with improved field weakening algorithm. It works very well.

@@JCHBArchive yes sure I was going to order one anyway I will get in touch on the forum

Which software is u use for foc tuning?
I use Open Inverter software. It could be found on Johannes Hubner GitHub page. He actually recently released a new version with improved field weakening algorithm. It works very well.
If you check this page it describes all the process of building and programming the board : openinverter.org/wiki/Toyota_Prius_Gen3_Board
@@LatutaEV thank you so much for sharing me such a great information.
@@LatutaEV can we discuss another topic if you don't mind that is about nissan note e power inverter system.
@abubakarghuman5248 You're welcome I hope it will help you. 👍
Can the Prius C motor be used in another car? It seems not to be remountable?
Pretty much any ac motor with permanent magnets could be used. Some people are using Mitsubishi Outlander motor as well
@@LatutaEV thank you. The technical specs for a Prius c say it has a 144v battery which is why I thought it would work for that voltage.
