Has anyone installed the enginer PHEV?

Sounds good, however if you check the Seller's ebay Feedback ... it looks like he's only sold ONE ... other than the one they're currently trying to sell. And the one they sold?

http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...henyj&iid=200344551230&de=off&items=25&page=1

It says, "feedback revised" to a "neutral" rating. IOW, the seller got Neg'd and the bad feedback likely prompted the seller to accept the item back, so the buyer would upgrade the feedback.

 

I've been in contact with Jack from Automotive Tech..

The system kinda sounds legit(not sure).. at least from the engineering standpoint.

The system utilizes a 48V battery pack(12V (3.2x4) Thundersky 40AH batteries) that are connected to a DC/DC converter and controller. The controller monitors if there's any current going in or out of the traction pack. In the case that there is no current entering or leaving the pack, the plugin pack will push current into the traction battery pack. When current leaves the battery pack, the DC/DC converter will push current into the HEV system to "help out the traction battery".

I thought the Prius was supposed to use more power from the battery if the SOC is raised or tricked. That's how the Hymotion and Plug-in Supply kits work. This is clearly different.

I'll be testing the kit in mid-June in Southern California Summer conditions.

I'll let you guys know how it works out.

I've posted a few things about the Plug-in Supply kit that I currently own in the PHEV forum.. I'm just testing out different options

 

anyone notice the pack inside a 2004 + model and the pictures from the MFD are from the pre 2004 model gen1.

 

when you charge the pack the SOC wil rize..
if this gets to high the prius will lose some so no wurries there.

 

All PHEV packs basically work the same from my understanding... The Hymotion and Plug-in supply pack both attempt to sneak in power when the Prius isn't looking. That's how it works(I think).

I know the Hymotion and Plug-in supply pack both spoof the SOC charge to some where around 75-85%, the Enginer pack does not.

Can't wait to get a hold of the pack in a bit!!!

 

so you already have plugin supply kit and now your taking that out to so how this pack works?

 

Kinda sorta kinda

Honestly, looking at the engineering standpoint of this pack, it looks pretty legit; it looks really promising to me..

If no one buys my 2009 Prius with the PHEV installed(I'm selling it in the Private Sales part of PriusChat), I'll remove the Plug-in supply kit and replace it with the Enginer kit.

If someone does buy my 2009 Prius with the PHEV, i'll be purchasing a package 4 2010 prius . From the looks of it, the 2010 prius should also be able to support the Enginer pack.

The only reason why this pack actually works on all generations of the prius is due to the fact that these guys went around the Canbus system..

We shall see

I'll either be the first one to have a PHEV in a 2010 Prius or a PriusChat test subject for the Enginer PHEV pack.. I hope.

 

i dont think the guys went around the canbus
the basic callcars system with contactors works the same
injesting power to the plugin pack and system from a higher voltage batterypack
in this case a higher voltage DC-DC converter from 48 volts to XXX volts.

the new prius ( did you see the pictures ) got socket and plug connections on the wire's from the cells to the current sensor and is not that easy to converter

we have to see and wait of anyone is willing to opne up there system for us all to see what can be done (easily )

 

This system does NOT spoof or modify any Canbus packets. The reason why other companies such as Plug-in supply and Hymotion spoof the packets is to trick the prius into using more battery power to raise the MPG. This system should still have the same effect by charging the battery to a higher SOC.

Pictures of the hybrid battery pack connections? That doesn't sound too hard..

Is this it?

 

i am looking for the picture i got from the + and - Lines
then you can see what i mean.

 

You will need more than one of those "enginer" gizmos in order to provide and equal "voltage power" to the HSD.

 

There is NOT a really ROI in this types of investments, but is a great feeling driving with no exhaust in the tail pipe

 

interesting

 

I would like to see your $2000.00 PHEV conversion........
This thread is about an eBay seller offering a Lithium Ion LiFePO4 batteries assemblies at 12V nominal @ $250.00 a piece, plus shipping.
For a workable PHEV conversion you need 20 of these plus a suitable charger, about $900 and a BMS for, at least, each 12V assembly, another 40 a piece and the cheap conversion KIT from Plug-In Supply( CalCars contactor type).
Playing with this type of toys doesn't become cheap as you think.
