Friends: 0 |  Enginer 2010 PHEV Technical Information I am starting this thread specifically for the installation of the Enginer kit in the Gen III Prius. Emphasis is on the differences found from the Gen II installation. -------------------------------------------------------------------- At this point I have ordered a 4KWh kit from Jack and downloaded as much Toyota info as I could on the 2-day license. So far I only know of dschur test piloting a 2kWh kit. Jack |

Can you kindly give more information on your kit - where did you get it, what is the license for - what was the cost, what are the specs? | |

I believe the license he was referring to is for access to Toyota's technical info site from which technical service data/manuals, etc. can be obtained. | |

Friends: 0 | Re: Enginer 2010 PHEV Technical Information First impression: the EV switch seems to be redundant. ECO mode seems able to get into EV mode just by lifting off the throttle. I'm wondering if the EV switch can be used to turn on/off the Enginer pack instead ?? So far, I've been able to get ~ 2 miles out of a fully charged OEM pack on a relatively flat (for around here) run home...starts just over 40 mph, still pulling 8-14 mph on the short hill at the end (3 bars).... Edit: the altitude is the same at both ends, so there is a slight downgrade w/ ups and downs then 200 yards up again. Last edited by atfsi; 08-31-2009 at 01:27 PM. |

Friends: 0 | Re: Enginer 2010 PHEV Technical Information Thank you for doing this thread. May I ask what the kit has cost you so far? How large are the batteries in the kit compared to the battery in the gen 3 Prius? |

The 4kWh kit is $2,994 plus shipping (I think $195) at the moment, I believe... see EBay # 200344551230 and Enginer - EAA-PHEV Jack | |

Friends: 0 | Re: Enginer 2010 PHEV Technical Information Just received my block heater. Might be a little OT for this thread, but I hope to integrate it into the charging system (thermal energy storage) perhaps needing some type of timer or heat sensor..... I'm also thinking of using a "Watt's Up" monitor ($59) to read the charge and discharge energy from the 4kWh pack initially, then later mounting it up front to monitor voltage and discharge. (it will only read charge OR discharge...not both without some double-pole-double-throw switching........come to think of it, I have such a contactor around somewhere ???) Jack |

Friends: 0 | Re: Enginer 2010 PHEV Technical Information atfsi, so let me get this straight. you installed Enginer kit designed for generation II onto 2010 gen III?
