Well first you have to get "pertinent" or whatever he said in the other questions. 😂

Holy fucking shit.

I've been saying for almost two years to friends that I badly need exactly this.

Seems like no matter what I try, I am incapable of letting go of things I can't even consciously quantify. Yet they weigh me down. Constantly.

That pan would be WELDED to the block with that 😂

GOD I'd love to go to Speed Week and meet SuperFastMatt.

Good news is that I can still run the GA8P70HZ w/out wiring the EV bits. Someone runs a Turbolamik on a virtual clutch & deleted the torque converter. 😂

Supercaps aren't viable. Rather not roll my own 400+ volt pouch cell pack. But it *must* weigh <100lbs. I want power, not capacity.

We'll see.

No, you are not allowed.

You happen to have any suggestions on a cheap but decently accurate power meter?

For Ld/Lq/etc measurements. Only need it for the 8HP and a 3ph 6kw Prius AC Compressor.

My VFD doesn't do auto tuning. Oops. 🥴

I can see why. He's also using Rinehart inverter that costs 16k, and a Formula E motor that costs who knows how much 😭

I badly want a laser welder but one step at a time lol. Gonna see how far JLC/Send Cut Send can get me.
June 12, 2025 at 4:05 AM
Oh hell no. xD

This will go in an NB Miata. I have an '05 with rusted frame, dead BP, and a bad 5spd.

*if* I can get everything talking properly (buying EV bits first), I'll buy another NB for install.

If nobody buys my NB2 I'll sacrifice it for learning/R&D. It needs to go.
June 12, 2025 at 4:03 AM
I have an Einstar arriving tomorrow. Going to scan as much of the '05 as I can before listing it as a shell/part-out.

This will be huge test of my abilities. I'm on my own for everything. Programming, HV wiring, adapter plates, batteries/mounting, driveshaft..

I've never touched a welder. LOL

Complication is the hydraulic pump is chain driven from input shaft.

Can't engage a gear until input rotation, which causes clutch slip from a stop.

There's a 12v, LIN bus, aux oil pump. Nobody can control it yet. Need to brute force the signal. Or, the HIS cylinder on ICE cars may fit.

Bingo. ✅

Think of a torque converter's lock-up clutch. Engine on one side. EV and transmission input on the other.

Lock-up off (engine disconnected, off). Pressurize any gear clutches. Drive as an EV.

Lock-up on, trans in neutral: EV Motor can start the ICE and-or charge the batteries at 0mph.

Hardest part: ~80kw, ~400v, lightweight bank. <5mi. range/KERS-like.

Haltech, MaxxECU, FuelTech are all developing for 8HP.

In 10 years, time attack hybrids will use this unit. Aftermarket can't afford to ignore the challenges it solves.

So, selling my Miata & buying one to play with on a bench.

GA8P75HZ kinetic flow:
Crankshaft > Lockup Clutch > EV Motor > Trans input.

Which means:
No need for a starter.
ICE regen at stop.
Pure-EV driving.
Driving after engine failure!
Regen/cooler brakes.
ZERO clutch wear! (RPM sync)
Batshit blips/shift speed.
ICE warm-up assist.

& More.

Pipedream car: Miata, EFR turbo, K20/Ecotec, 8HP, Hybrid, with clutch pedal.

OP went HTG GCU (out of business) route, is stuck on CAN comms config.

TurboLamik control is no different than ICE car. Torque Converter lock-up (and all other solenoids) are the same whether ICE or PHEV.
June 11, 2025 at 5:52 PM
Yes.

The corrupted countdown timer was a wonderful addition.
June 10, 2025 at 6:49 PM
Do you happen to have some snippets/the shader file somewhere I could take a peek at? This is awesome!
