iBooster fit test looked good...

This is the modified brake cradle and extra brake booster holes drilled out to accommodate the ibooster

Once that was complete, I moved on to start working on the -booster brake kit fitment. This is the original brake pedal cradle

The first thing was to redo all the wiring and remove all that I won't need.

Moved to the inside and stripped everything down as well.

Removed everything from the engine bay including the brake booster except for the ABS.

Old stock steering rack out

Finally uploaded an update image, dropped the engine two months ago.

Uploads still not working

Great to hear! I gave up updating this thread due to the difficulty of uploading images. But I have made some great progress on this project.

Hi guys, I can not seem to be able to update this thread as I get the error "You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action" whenever I try to upload new photos of the project. Seems I am only allowed to post comments and replies only. I reported a support ticket but have...

Having gained some ground on the electronics, I had stalled a bit because the car was still drivable, that was until the cooling system broke down on a long-distance trip and I decided to drop the ice. :)

Hi Everyone, it has been 4 months since I posted here but that is because I paused on the project to concentrate on work and some personal stuff. I picked the project up a month ago and the following is a continuation of the progress on the build so far.

Thank you @Alibro I am also learning as I go. The 230V was just to test the BMS system, the full system voltage will be 380V which should be sufficient.

I also took some time to complete swapping the Tesla GEN 2 charger board and confirm the parameters for the same. The replacement control board was made off the open-source design by Damien Maguire and the guys over at OpenInverter Next will be the high voltage tests once I finish...

Next I connected some of the battery packs to the BMS boards and tested if the monitoring was working as intended. Everything works as intended, so am now working to build the battery cooling plate before I move to connect all the batteries for a high voltage test run.

The programming was the trickiest bit as I had to learn a bit about using AVR chips but succeeded in the end. I got all the boards programmed and have run a couple of tests to make sure they function as required. Next, I started on the battery tray Then I test-fitted half of the battery...

So after 1 year of waiting, in June 2022, Mouser finally delivered the missing chips required to complete the boards. Spent the better part of last month completing the soldering of the PCBs and programming them.
