    where are the Porsche cayenne expo builds?

    its applicable because you have two diffs now running @ 100% duty cycle with no reprieve, there is a reason why your user manual says: "rolling radius of all 4 tires must remain the same or within 4/32-inch of each other in remaining tread depth." not to mention TPMS, ESP, ASR, ABS, EDL and...

    where are the Porsche cayenne expo builds?

    if your running a tire with a significantly different OD your gonna wind up your drivetrain, any speed or distance is gonna be bad on the diffs/cv/etc.. if you needa crawl out to be rescued then I guess it'd work, but then who really cares about lil stuff like that in such a situation...

    where are the Porsche cayenne expo builds?

    theres several people whom have swapped TCM before, got fixed and put the original back, no question its the original software.. I know things are a bit different tooling wise for you Cayenne guys, but I've got a computer right here that can code my TCM appropriately, infact its been recoded to...

    where are the Porsche cayenne expo builds?

    there's a guy on AudiWorld who claims to have the ability to restore the tune on a 8spd Aisin (yrk2.7t@curbside), or alternatively you can find a salvage TCM w/same part number on ebay or something.. put it in, get it fixed, then put your original back.. I'm probably going to get mine finally...

    Single Battery 12V only expo trailer build recommendations

    I've been pretty impressed with all the Victron devices I've got my hands on, I'd check out the 15A model: https://www.amazon.com/Victron-Blue-Smart-Charger-Waterproof/dp/B07DWJD84N/ and for LVD this should do: https://www.amazon.com/Victron-BPR000100400-BatteryProtect-12-24V-100A/dp/B01N6ATT8C/...

    Single Battery 12V only expo trailer build recommendations

    get your self a nice onboard charger, not a trickle charger and just fully charge it at home for weekend outings.. that may be enough if your not running a fridge.. and if you need it you can put solar on later, try to mount it so it provides a charge while driving while being able to chase sun...

    Single Battery 12V only expo trailer build recommendations

    I get what your doing, but its really not needed.. if you run 20A @ 1% through the blusea calculator it tells you to run the same cable as 40A @ 3% voltage drop.. so just change the voltage drop to minimal instead of doubling up on amperage and you get the same results.. for working with his...

    Single Battery 12V only expo trailer build recommendations

    eh, a single deep cycle FLA battery is unlikely to even take 40A, the ones I've used might take >20A for a little bit but they spend the vast majority of the bulk charge between 8-15A when hooked to a large charger.. now if you start running multiple batteries or absurdly large batteries then...

    Single Battery 12V only expo trailer build recommendations

    first of all, screw AGM honestly.. your paying extra money for a shorter lifespan, plain and simple.. FLA is alot more reliable and can take far more typical abuse that most people give when camping. in my experience, the aux 7pin provides about 4A of charging power maximum as measured at the...

    yes, Victron Battery protect is a solid state relay with built in LVD (low voltage disconnect) and an external input that I have wired to BMV Relay Output The BMV calculates SOC through a shunt, it does auto recalibrate but not because its inaccurate.. its to maintain accuracy without...

    Small 12v 100AH LiFePO4 battery system for use in a camper

    you just need the high side for the charger, and the BMV-712 can provide this for you.. I use the battery protect relay to drop the battery when it gets over set voltage, then it stays disconnected while the charger is running so all 12v appliances are then running off the Progressive Dynamics...

    New camping trailer. Battery/generator questions

    Amp Hours is basically RC / 2 + 16.. so you had a 66AH battery before.. I got one of those with my trailer, was junk.. now its used to start my riding lawn mower. Your new batteries are rated at 230AH, so you gained a net of 164AH in usable capacity (not discharging either battery more than...

    unless your just working a fixed channel with a tuned antenna (30m APRS) you will need a tuner.. if I were going to put it on a vehicle (I have not FYI) I think I'd go for an active tuning motorized setup. popularity w/HF depends on conditions, time of day and what events are going on.

    yeah its one thing to omit a sticker saying: may contain up to n% ethanol, its a whole nother can of worms to say: "no ethanol" or "ethanol free" when it is infact not.. Ive been running ethanol free in my motorcycle, lawn mower, generator for the last few seasons.. and IMHO its worth the...
