Listen hold the carboard against the tranmission and use a ball end hammer to tap out the holes and the flat hammer for the edges

Update?

Can something like this be done for Touareg GP?

A well produced video that only has 1.6k views? that's ridiculous

That would be some scary kei van to play with. 😈⚡ Electric powertrains, especially computerized AC powertrain, are no joke.

Hi, when you and others build an electric car and put the battery packs low to the ground, aren't you worried about going through a deep puddle. If the battery pack isn't 100% waterproof then something bad will most likely happen.

For a channel that has engineering in its name there certainly isnt much engineering going on. Using a hand drill to drill sidewards holes, claiming there are torque "specs" for a prototype motor plate to attach to a motor, using hex headed bolts for said attachment without a washer(s). None of this even mentions the fact that he is taking the path of the most resistance by flipping the transmission onto the cardboard instead of laying the cardboard on the transmission. Not much in the way of work flow in fusion either...so much for taking a head on picture, importing it into f360 then scaling it to size and making the appropriate holes in their location. Its not hard nor does it take any substantial amount of time. As a user of Fusion360 since 2019 I can do something very similar (and have) in very little time. Quite frankly this video could be a case study on exactly how NOT to do things. Was anyone else astonished by the shear amount of extra work created by the guy in the video? So much for working smarter and not harder.

What does a surf band mean ?

Out of curiosity could you not have just ordered a transmission gasket to use as a template

can't wait for the final result!

super cool!

Can you share the adapter plate pattern?

I'd like the crankshaft as a way to couple the flywheel electric motor. If some machine shop specialized in doing this they might be able to make a business out of it

This was a really great and informative series, but it looks like it's on pause as I can't find any updates anywhere. Hope all is well and you continue the series at some point :)

Any updates?

Hey fella how did you progress did you sort out the gap issues, great work hi from downunder 🇦🇺🤙

art poster board is stiffer and thin ball ping hammer to make the holes and follow the edge. Its the old method of make your own gasket.

Cool

what tesla motor did you use? Im very interested in this

3:00, spray the flange with machinists ink and carefully place the transmission on the paper, or spray the flange and tape the paper to the top of the transmission and flop the paper over like a hinge to the face of the flange, or take thin cardboard and place it on the flange and hit the carboard with a rubber hammer making an impression from the flange to the cardboard. 13:30, toaster oven next time for even heating.

Great build I wish UA-cam didn’t bury you so far with the algorithm…. You have a ton of useful and very clear information

find a nice piece of foam and a sharpy

What electric motor did you use?

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Curious to know where you bought those battery enclosures? Very interested in those for my project.

Kei-ngrats 🎉

Love your videos -- please go into more detail about setting up the charging system!

This is where I'm at right now converting my grandpa's old Datsun pickup. I had the same idea and I'm looking to source a blown out crankshaft -- glad to see that method worked for you!

Very nice. I always wanted to EV swap a kei car. Specifically the deckvan keis with both van and truck bed. I originally had considered keeping my CRX transmission for the same reasons as you for my EV conversion but since i was using the Nissan Leaf motor, I found the axle coming from the Honda transmission wouldnt clear the motor and ended up using the Leaf single speed transmission instead. Make sure your axles will clear the motor with the transmission. The benefit of mating the transmission is stock axles can be used but if they dont clear, you'd end up needing an intermediate shaft which is just custom axles all over again. What do you plan to use for batteries?

Real EVs only have one gear and don't use a transmission, clutch or flywheel. It's just extra weight and something complicated to break.

very nice video! love how you took the time to give us all the details. Finally someone showing how to put together a battery box. I'm working on an ev conversion now and will also use tesla model s batteries.

As someone else commented the axial load needs to be addressed. The old gas engine has a bearing design that can take the lateral pressure from the side load that happens every time you step on the clutch. Those clutch forks put a few hundred pounds of sideways force on the electric motor bearings which probably has not been designed for and you will have premature bearing failure.

Sorry mate your doing an interesting thing but my god you're to boring to watch.

ur the boss, ev acty is the future, thank you for sharing

This is cool! Any chance we would be able to get the file for this adapter plate? It looks like what we need for our own project. Lmk! :)

how well can by De's electric motor

Woohoo like 100! Dope ass build!

I am concerned about no pilot bearing for the transmission shaft inside your flywheel hub. Also I am concerned that you are relying on the HPEVS motor bearing for the axial load caused by the the pressure plate engaging the clutch. I believe what is needed is an additional thrust bearing to take that axial load.

Man finally! I've been looking for some "random dude like me" who can also make good content to document his home made electric conversion ! Keep it going, I'll keep watching 🙏

an inch thick bellhousing plate is insane lol. Good news it wont flex, thats always a plus. Other than that, I thought the AC 50 motor would be smaller, glad I didnt pick one up for my project. I am converting my dads 1979 Kawasaki kz650 SR into an electric bike. Going to build a 20kwh battery pack for it and have either a mid drive motor or a hub motor. Depends on the battery size and shape of it. I may have to build two battery boxes and link them together via giant cables. but either way it will work out to be around the same weight of the original engine and trans, and theoretically it should go somewhere around 250 to 400 miles a charge. Zero bikes are 16kwh max and get around 300 miles per charge. So I should be a bit better depending on the output I set the motor up with. It wont be a 75kw bike, more like a max of 30kw of output.

Add a power wheel motor to each tire... And four DeWalt batteries for each tire... Bingo

Better to secure that paper to the housing with some double stick tape.

Another great video, you make it all seem so straightforward. You seem so knowledgeable about everything, how did you go about finding everything you needed for a project like this? Do you have a background working on ICE/EVs? Or is it all self taught? Keep it up man, really enjoying these 🙂

Great video! You've gained a new subscriber for sure So many smart ideas in here which will save so many people so much hassle off the back of your year long endeavour! Looking forward to watching more of your videos!

I need more of this

Can you post the CAD models for your battery box? Happy to contribute! Im doing a similar build where I need to mount 2 modules under the hood and 4 in the trunk of an MG Midget.

very interesting concepts

you have a big place tere is an easier conversion idea !!!

I'|| give you a big lamp

there are many mistakes the engine mount is a question
