    RX8 Renesis Rotary eSC

    I've seen as much as 260A at 47 volts. The thing is that it seems to me that I'm at the point where there are diminishing returns when putting in more power/changing the pulley ratio. Changing the motor should tell me whether that is in fact the case. Something that many here may not be aware of...

    RX8 Renesis Rotary eSC

    I think I've got the same bug Alex has! Bigger (70125) motor coming to replace the Castle 2028. Really feel like the car has to make close to 300whp for the eSC to make the statement I want it to. This motor should get me close - fingers xd.

    Want to build 500Hp electric turbo, people with experience please chime in

    I haven't seen a converted turbo setup that works as well as the P2 yet. Maybe you will be the first .....

    Want to build 500Hp electric turbo, people with experience please chime in

    The P2 is the best place to start IMO ..... It's actually a very cheap option.

    Did some roll racing with it yesterday. Was thereabouts against most of the cars but not really competitive. Need moa powa! Below was vs 1000+HP Dodge with a big Whipple ..... bit of a no contest but I did stay in front for a wee while. Check out the commentary at the end of the run

    RX8 Renesis Rotary eSC

    Had to fit a slow charge setup to it or it would weld the relay shut and shut down the BMS. Congrats on the ...Maserati?

    RX8 Renesis Rotary eSC

    With some help from an EE I managed to sort out the issues with the capacitor. Saw definite improvements but overall it's only marginally quicker than it was with the Lipos . But sooooo much more practical now with the LTOs vs the Lipos.!

    Speedmaster P2 low boost help

    Around 25000 should make 4-5psi . Check out the flow map here : https://www.electrifiedboost.com/threads/p2-supercharger-thread.85/post-3062

    The capacitor created problems for me. Needs a circuit that slows down the charging of it, which I thought was above my abilities, so I just removed it .

    RX8 Renesis Rotary eSC

    Upgraded batteries/BMS/Charger installed and operational. Over the moon with how well it all works. Some numbers from the BMS show 10kw at high rpm which lines up pretty well with what I was expecting.

    My batteries finally arrived yesterday as well. They look ok ... but quality isn't the best

    Just one I found on Aliexpress for LTOs 'ANT smart BMS' rated for 220A (550A peak) . I have no idea about these .... but am hoping it wont be too much of a mission to hook up - doesn't look too hard. I found my stock 100A alternator could easily manage the 35A charger I had previously. The new...

    RX8 Renesis Rotary eSC

    Update , a month or so back I decided to make a small change to the wiring. Wanted to have the charging wire such that it could be isolated with flick of a switch instead of constantly connected to the batteries. In the process of making this change I managed to short the batteries to ground for...

    Scary battery purchase time

    Am working with a guy that imports batteries from China- he is getting pricing for some 20Ah LTOs for me today! I'll PM you with details.

    Supercharger / turbocharger shaft horsepower

    The shaft power to make say 10psi of boost at say 70% compressor efficiency will be the same at the same mass flow irrespective of whether there a turbine is driving it or an electric motor. However the electric SC may be flowing more mass at the same engine rpm/boost due to lowered exhaust...

    Did some messing with Matchbot and came up with 6% for the 20C drop in temps I'm seeing which is equivalent to around 15whp. I think the logs would show something if I was getting that much but I still think there are other factors in play as mentioned above.

    I guess I was hoping for some extra after seeing what happened with Alex's meth injection setup. Would have thought it was more than 1% for 10C?

    Scary battery purchase time

    I'm in NZ too. Bought two sets of batteries off AliExpress. They took about twice as long as when buying other stuff but arrived in good condition nevertheless.
