No way. This is incredible. And what toyota should be doing already. Beyond this, the next logical step should be getting a 2.8 70 series and ditching the gearbox entirely - go for a series hybrid setup? Like a diesel electric locomotive? That’d be *sick*.
Check out the system used in the byd shark. It can function as an EV and also as a series or parallel hybrid. Bonus is that it's a plug in hybrid. It's similar in function to the system used in chev (holden) volt.
why tell the computer anything about gears just use the throttle position and a pedal map to make the power come on and emulate an ice engine and regen can be applied with 0% throttle have a controller to increase and decrease the force or just start work with the 2.8 auto and not have that issue
Guessing the 2.8l with auto wasn't available when this test rig was purchased. An auto conversion is also an option, but $$ regardless of 6sp Aisin transmission as per 200 series or 8 speed ZF as being utilised by another Aussie company for swap into the V8. I believe there may already be hybrid integration using the ZF transmission? Or pergaps something similar to the V8 touring cars, a micro switch on the gear shifter(admittedly the Toyota manual has more play than kindy @ lunch time).
Because the ecu is constantly adjusting things like the turbo geometry based on selected gear and engine load and not providing the ecu with that information would cause issues for the engine

Diesel hybrid is my dream combination ❤
Holy moly, my Dream comes true . Greetings from Germany
