Amazing!! I was trying to sort out the Tach output using an external module but super happy that it's been added on this rev :D

Maybe try putting capton tape over the connector alignment pins to stop them from melting

Great job explaining the installation. Is it possible to connect the HV wires first then fish them through the cover?

Nice work Damien 👍

Couldn't a magnet be used to fish out the dropped bolt?

Gome cat can unlock those immobilizers between naps

1:14:10 I actually found that better taps make it easier to cut plastic. But of course, usually you can't justify buying a 50-ish€ tap for a one time job :D Isopropyl alcohol works well as a coolant for tapping plastic.

An incredible overview Damian. Thank you. Was planning on using the Mitsubishi Outlander read drive unit but this looks very tempting as an alternative option. As an aside, I think my wife is a little in love with the way you say inverter and boy did you deliver that in droves tonight!

37:20 😂

Pls does anyone know what Vehicle that MG drive unit came from? Thanks in advance

Thank you Damian !!

Why don't you replace that short cable with one that's twice as long while you're changing the PCB out?

That component removal method works great when you don't want to save the PCB.

your doing it.... right!

Hello sir. I want to hack the inverter toyota gen 2 for the study in university. How can i chat with you

I have a hinged number plate on mine to hide the charge port(s). It’s just hinged at the bottom with neodymium magnets at the top. This was supposed to be a temporary arrangement while I sorted out some clever remote opening latch. But it’s been in place a year now and it works great.

I like your utilitarian approach with this trock, but o boi 🤣🤣

hmm maybe we need to set up a go fundme for a arch driod....

Damien, we fit loads of RoadX where I work and there's nothing wrong with them. They're half the price of a premium tyre puncture if it's not repairable so always think about that before buying anything premium. Its the 80-20 rule, they're not a premium tyre, but I fit them to all of my own vehicles and family and friends. Keep up the good work 👍

Would the plates not be better swapped front to back? Good progress.

Damien - In North America, we have "OSHcut". Open Source Hardware plasma cutting. There's also Send-Cut-Send. Both are companies that you can send files to, and receive cut and folded parts back, almost as cheap as just buying the steel yourself. Lots of DIY EVers swear by them. Probably not cost effective to ship to Europe.

Hello Damien, any chance of more VAG stuff in the future? Maybe hacking a complete e-golf stack paired with a 13 kwh VAG hybrid battery? Would make a good "kit" for conversions. Best regards! Keep going strong =).

This is awesome, i get my cat fix, my damien fix, my screaming "you're doing it wrong" at the screen fix, my diy ev fix, and my truck fix all in one video

Down with this sort of thing. Careful now.

Hello Damien, if you need any small parts (up to the size of a rim) powder coated, I would love to help you out with that, free of charge or course. pun intended

It's coming together nicely

I think that the trailer rear lights with these triangle reflectors are possibly not legal as car taillights. On cars the rear reflectors should be rectangular or round…

I don’t think it’s ok to use lamps with triangels on them for a pickup, the triangle is reserved for trailers.

Good man Damo

For your license plate maybe a flip down mount like in the old 70s fuel behind the rear plate cars

That wasn't just short, it was downright paltry for this channel. Big thumbs ... down?

Damien - I do not have a Zombieverter. I have only loosely watched development. I hardly understand any of it. I'm nowhere near capable of contributing. But I could not find anywhere that any of these parameters are actually documented. So I edited the ZombieVerter VCU wiki on OpenInverter and started spamming in an idiot-level understanding of what you went over here. There's huge gaps, and hopefully others actually correct it and flesh it out, but, it's written down now and that's something I could at least do other than freeload. Also, your utter lack of consistency on variable naming conventions is maddening even for a non-programmer. "Mg1and2", "Mg1", "Mg2", "BlendingMG1and2" ... IS THE G SUPPOSED TO BE CAPITALIZED OR NOT? Random variables are all lower case, some are capitalized, some are camelcase. Just the whole buffet of standards, little from here, little form there. I ain't judging, those that want to can tidy it up, but it baffles me that it's not easier on yourself, for yourself, to have a consistent nomenclature. You walk a fine line between genius and insanity. Great stuff as always.

Gotta buy a zombie and start doing it wrong myself ;)

#legend this is the best way to save the planet. Now new EV's Get all the old beauties running again .

Is it possible to keep everything from a model 3 awd but just switch out the batteries for higher discharge/lower energy density packs? Mostly for weight savings and the ability to cram things into different wheel based cars.

Very nice. If you have an option for image stabilization on your camera, it would be good if you can turn it on 🙂

100% in reverse!

Looking forward to the next steps on the red arrow

Oh yeah!

Still faster vs updating firmware in all the modules in a modern BMW.

Thanks for all of your work. I have a 2000 Volvo V70 I would like to convert so I'm tuned in!

keep up the good work !!

Hi , Damien, how much you spend in a car conversion on the cheap.

Howya Damo, what do you think of the new 2025 mk1 escort, ideal for a spin down the m11🇮🇪

Thank you for your work. Without your work our builds become 1/2 what they would otherwise be.

Hi Damien. How did you go about, and whats is involved in getting the cars re-registered to pass the NCT and then to re-new as an Electric car for the Road Tax? I would have thought it impossible to do in Ireland? Perhaps a subject for another video? Many thanx

Are you able to use supercharging? Perhaps do a video on charging options

First! When do we get to see a full block diagram of a DIY EV, covering the zombiinverter, motor, battery etc?
