CVT MIMA

[Mike Dabrowski 2000]

I have had several people with CVT Insights ask about the possibilities of installing a MIMA on their Insights. It looks good, but the only way to know will be to to actually triy it. A CVT Insight owner in PA, has offered to be the test case. He has ordered the electrical manual, and about the time that the MIMA kits are ready, he should have the manual. He will drive up and we will do a minimal install to see what the issues are, and should know that day if it can work without other modifications.

Ummmm, what is MIMA again?

MIMA = Manual Integrated Motor Assist. (I think). Basically a manual control for regen and assist.

[moderator edit to prevent un necessary thread "bump" up the list]

For those interested in the MIMA project or those still wondering what it is the threads have become too fragmented for the developer to maintain and he has requested that his other MIMA threads be locked.

Please understand that any further suggestions for design changes will not be honored since the process is too far along. However, since its *opertation* can be easily modded in software such limited opinions will be welcome.

A few of the old threads that will most likely answer all your questions are here:

(Moderators note: the newest version of MIMA is CVT compatible)

Its a complex topic and modification. And one that should be carefully reviewed if your deciding on purchase. The purchase thread is here:

The subject is still open for discussion at the developers selected for consolidation thread here:

Locking other threads. Future MIMA threads will be locked and follow-up's directed to the thread above.
