Your meant to use 100w light bulbs to load inverter. That heat can can blow the inverter as it just turns heater element on and off to vary temp.

On my setup i just use cable for welding equipment, cheap and is capable of over 300A, with 140A they never use to gain heat. I have mY PSU at 14.6v, with 1.5m cable it drops to 14.2V, my e60 535d with ignition on when it run the fuel pump use over 75A, one some E series you will need over 80A, my recomendation is that you have 100A to be sure. Other option is to go junkyard and remove the battery cable from BMW for example, thay can take the power you need.

@ZeroTo60Tube 2 жыл бұрын

Both good solutions. These 2 guage cables have a very minor drop over the 2 metre run. But if you can get away with a cheap option i think that is great. Also very interesting to hear some e series pulling that much current.

Not related to the power supply, (awesome job by the way 😊,) do you have any details on that air intake? Not seen that type before! Thanks!

@ZeroTo60Tube 2 жыл бұрын

It's a dinan and man it is well made. Lovely piece of fabrication. My only gripe with it, is it adds a pod filter to the LHS space, in the front bumper, so if you have this you can't run a trans cooler. Great for lower power stock turbo cars, but wont really suit anyone trying to go properly fast.

@badazz12r 2 жыл бұрын

get non-cca jumper leads. F series needs 13.6 so you need 14v from the PSU to allow for voltage drop (F01/02).

@ZeroTo60Tube 2 жыл бұрын

I had read that, i went with the lowest number i thought i could get away with, but can bump it up. When mark programmed his f15, he has his supply set at 13.6, which is why i just set mine similar. From what i understand, they will keep programming if you stay above 13v at the terminals. Mind you i also heard that for NBT stuff, they will allow lower voltages.

@badazz12r 2 жыл бұрын

@@ZeroTo60Tube if using ISTA the voltage alarm is 13.2volt, the fully loaded 5, 6, and 7 can draw as high as 60+ amp when coding cause modules in sequences need to be activated.

@andrasszekely9967 2 жыл бұрын

I understand why you would use 13.8V for bench programming but when connected to the car, I thought (based on the INPA / Bentley manual) that 14.8V is more appropriate. The supply seems capable of 14.8V and it would reduce the current needed for a particular load so, I was wondering if there a reason why you use 13.8V?

@ZeroTo60Tube 2 жыл бұрын

They say 14.8 working for a margin of error assuming a smaller supply wont handle consistent load at lower voltages. If you have a supply maintaining 14.8 and something turns on and draws a load of current, you have a better margin of error before you hit 13v. From what i understand as long as each module is above 13v they will keep programming (it may be lower actually). You have to remember that is volts at the module itself. So 13.5v at the charge terminals in the engine bay is normally more than enough. As this supply is so beefy, it should be pretty solid on any BMW at what ever voltage i set it to. Mark when programming his F15 was drawing between 30-50amps and he has his one also set to 13.6v, so figured if it works on his F15 it should be sweet for everything.

Did you turn the air con fans to full and run the water pump. Basically turn everything that can turn on with engine off.

@ZeroTo60Tube 2 жыл бұрын

Nah, no coolant in it at the moment. Ran the fan about half from memory. Basically as fast as I felt wouldn’t mess with the audio too much.

@uisperfectemail9720 2 жыл бұрын

What would cause all that resistance in the leads? Is it impurities in the copper? Contact surface to small? Or just a lighter gauge wire? I thought Mark was your brother in law back when you worked on his X5.

@ZeroTo60Tube 2 жыл бұрын

Mark is my everything.... lol haha. I hope he see's this comment. Yes he did happen to marry my sister, but we were friends long before. As i like to keep reminding my sister. And to answer your question, yes, its basically the wire being too think to handle the current flow and heating up. Which is how heating elements and old light bulbs work. Thing enough wire, that the current causes heat or light.
