Good evening my friend! Looks like a lot of fun! Just need to source a 40kw battery pack from my local salvage yard first! Nice Dala! Again going back to my 90’s Honda roots! Exciting
So i took a stock tesla for a test drive and have to say it moves :) in theory the leaf with 160kw would be about the same if running the 24kwh pack due to weight savings. Power to weigh is the same. Traction is not
Very interesting to see the 0-100 this will get! I hope you will put some wider and stickier tires on it and remove some unnessecary stuff for weight loss!
This is just awesome. The future of car mods is here! How many kW's can the Leaf's motor support for a brief period of time, assuming a large enough inverter and a battery that can deliver that power? In another comment you mentioned that the battery can output 300kW (with some caveats), but can the motor take that? I love watching as always!
@@DalasEVRepair If you look at the torque/speed graph maximun torque at low speed is about twice the full speed torque. I am thinking this is due to battery limitation, not inverter as it's current that is the issue for inverter and currnt = torque. If you can get that torque at low speed inverter can handle the torque (current) at low speed and allow the same current at highe speed you will have twice the power, so 320 kw.
Oks after some calculation my guess is 6.5 seconds for 145kw and 5.3 if you manage 180kw once 400a limit is cracked. Providing u put some performance tyres on :) this would mean stock teslas getting serious competition and some embarrassment from humble leaf :)
If you zoom past me in my fictional performance Model Y, it would not my day. Purchased a 2017 Leaf as I wait for my Model Y LR. I think its going to be another 6 months wait.
I work with inverter hw/sw development for vehicles and it makes me happy that you swap out the inverter instead of trying to tune it 🙂 But do you know if they are programmed to control the same model of electric motor? The resolver offset parameter is the most critical one to change of course but there typically are at least 20-100 more parameters in an inverter that decides how to control the motor optimally. Motors (in this case a PM motor) differ a lot in their design such as type and size of magnets, length of rotor/stator, number of winding turns and so on. This changes things as base speed, optimal current angle and field weakening behavior. If you are running a motor with the wrong parameters you will not get the full torque or efficiency (less range, more heat). You can also get instability in the control loops that cause the inverter to shut down. Now it seems to work well for you so the motors must be quite similar. The most important factor for how much power the motor can handle is the thermal performance. The motor must have a thermal sensor that limit the performance if the motor gets too hot. But it will not cover all parts of the windings. Hopefully it will hold up if you don’t push it too hard.
Hi! Yes the inverters both go to the same EM57 motor. Nissan decided to save on R&D and keep the EM57 exactly the same from 2013-2022, only the inverter has evolved. Nice to hear from someone with inverter expertise 🙌
@@DalasEVRepair I found this: "In 2018, the EM57 motor received an update with the introduction of the ZE1 Nissan LEAF. Depending on which inverter was mounted on the motor, power levels were increased to 110kW (320Nm) and on the e+ model it was further raised to 160kW (340Nm). The rpm range is also increased to 11,330 on the e+ LEAF. The motor received three tweaks: Slight reduction of permanent magnet material L-shaped coolant inlet Minor casting tweak to front&rear cover"
@@willgeorge5644 Yes, I wrote that wikipedia page 😁 Initially i was worried about the reduction in permanent magnet material, but the env200 gets the newer 2018+ motor with an old 2013 style inverter, so they are interchangable
This is great! I can't wait to see it unleash its full power! 160kW is the same as my Bolt EV, but it's heavier at 1660kg. Putting 160kW in a lighter car like yours (or the NX!) is awesome! Will the NX's pack support this power with a fuse 'upgrade'?
@@ElectricNed even 24kWh packs can give out 300kW without a fuse (and if you can stomach the degradation). So with a proper fuse the 30kWh pack can easily run the 160kW inverter!
you probably can take two fuses from 24 pack and put them in parallel. It was been nice on ze0, on ze0 fuse is inside of the orange plug, so, its remoblvable. on aze0 and ze1 fuse is inside of the pack, actually, under a orange plug.
Nice upgrade Dala!! What about adding a second 160kw power train on the rear tires .....That would leave you with a 320kw all wheel drive pocket rocket.....
Hi Dala, ive done some more investigation around the 225amp fuse in the 24kwh leaf, it looks like it will handle 450amps for 60 seconds and 1000amps for one second, so essentially its there to protect the pack from a big short or a prolonged high load. So in theory a quick 8 second hit of the pedal should be fine at 160kw. Next thing to research is are the cells capable? After lots of endless sphere it looks like they will do 8c or 200kw short pulse , so 160kw should be about 6c. For 8 seconds or so when the battery is 70% and above charge state. I wonder how good the contacts are, im going to guinea pig and go for the 160kw inverter. now to find one. I suspect there will be a sweetspot of cells sag vs draw, maybe 140KW will be it. My pack is. 86% SOH and rock solid cell balance, so reasonable start point. Do you know if the late 2014 model has the fuse removable ?
He he! You are so chuffed! Nissan should be chuffed too....the leaf just got more interesting! Maybe you can come over for a beer and have a go at an i3!
We'll see :) Yes they have the same brakes even on the e+, guessing that they can get away with it due to the hard regen also helping out quite a bit on braking.
there was a video where Rich Rebuilds blows the fuse on his Tesla. An interesting show. These high amp fuses are basically lots and lots of low-amp fuses rolled up into one big package (because it is easier to predict how 100x10A fuses will work instead of 1x1000A). and thus they may burn out one after another. so a 1000A fuse can become a 900A fuse can become a 800A fuse can become a 700A fuse.... and one day step on GO, the thing will go pop and that was that. cannot find the video right now. so no link BTW: how hard is it to replace the fuse on a Leaf? Isn't it in the plug in the rear-seat floor? That would be nice. Going full petrol-head, just have a few spare fuses rattling around in the foot-well :D
REGEN: Hey Dala, great video. Very inspiring. I was wondering if this modification makes any changes to the regenerative braking system? Perhaps it is now more efficient or you can regen at a higher power? Thanks.
Hieno video. Olis kysyttävää : mainitsit useammassa videossa, että näiden korkeampien tehojen (110 ja 160kw) kanssa tarvitaan isompi akusto koska sulake kärähtää. Voiko siis pelkän pääsulakkeen vaihtaa suurempaan vai johtaisiko esim 24kwh akun sulakkeen vaihtaminen suurempaan koko akuston sulamiseen? Kiitos
If I understand correctly, I can change the inverter doing charger swap (one mess), connect can bridge to pair the new inverter, but not change the math stuff I'll have stock performance (80kW), and drive safely until battery swap?The inverter and charger price can be lower than leaf 6,6kW vs 3,3kW charger. Can you add a "turbo bust button"? Its better leave the 80kW for my wife, and I'll be happy with max power :D
Dalla whats your thoughts on modifying a 24kwh battery for 160kw, bigger fuses ? Or is the issue the internal connections ? Someone commented 300kw unfused. Im also thinking load on the cells will cause heat issues, so maybe temperature limiting boost mode, so in theory you may only use 160kw now and then, keeping it 80kw mode most of the time. Also theres questions around the transfer case and cv joints etc, are they all the same ? Id love to have 160kw in the 24 :) some big sticky front tires of course:) it would be pretty impressive with the light pack.
It will probably work just fine with the 24kWh pack. Seen some custom builds with over 120kW now and theu still use the stock fuse. Seema like I was overcautios 😅
How hard is it to replace the fuse in the 24kw 2014 model ? Thinking of doing the 160kw conversion, ill slowly wind it up until the fuse pops if it ever does. Then wind it back a bit to a safe spot.
Looking at the weight , 6.9 seconds for the 1730kg with 160kw , the 24kwh with 1508kg should take the leaf down into the five seconds to 60 with the 160kw inverter, dry weather and some sticky wider front tyres. Now to find a 160kw inverter :)
Are the interconnections in the 40 kWh battery beefier than the 24 kWh battery? Could probably get away with replacing the fuses with 400 A fuses. :D It's not going to do this continously anyway.
Do you have expirience witch swaping 62kWh battery into 2013+ leaf? I know the battery is bigger, I saw on YT that someone put metal/aluminium distance, but I cannot find any information how to make the same or how to do it other way
Hi, Q: Why doesn't this work on my 2011-2012 LEAF? A: The early leaf has EM61 motors. These aren't compatible with the EM57 inverter style. Different sets of parameters to control these motors.
Interesting.. So it must have been your efforts that caused confusion for the insurance sales person (and me) because he questioned me if I had 80kW, 110kW or 160kW Ze0 Leaf and I thought there was ever only one option ;)

hi) I wanted to ask why only 145kW maximum is given out by the motor, but the request is for 160kW? can-bridge says that the battery is ready to give 160kW, but in fact it is 145kW and 400A. I have a battery capacity + extra in the trunk = 60kw.
@@DalasEVRepair I installed sports tires for Winter without studs. the wheels do not slip. The slip control system is disabled. even if you roll it, it doesn't produce more than 144kw🤷🏻♂️ I increased the multiplier for VCM from 1.6 to 1.8, but only the pedal changes at start.
@@DalasEVRepair Quaife does if you order ca 20 I think. Several car clubs has gotten diffs made by sending in an original open diff and ordering a big batch. Question is if there's a marked. Maybe if the newer Leaf also has the same diff. Keep up your good work, greetings from Norway.
Not this way. The 2012 LEAF has an EM61 motor. All the stuff I show in this series is for the 2013+ EM57. One way would be to go for an aftermarket inverter, but good luck getting that to integrate with the standard LEAF VCM!
1. Maybe install wider tyres to stop wheelspin. 2. Does a Leaf not have Traction Control, you always talk about the car spinning the wheels, which should not happen very much with TC.

Easy! Just use the Resolve-EV controller to cut down on the Nissan electronics needed!
Hi Dala, I know the form factor is different, but is this inverter upgrade possible on the Gen1 motor?
Hi, Q: Why doesn't this work on my 2011-2012 LEAF? A: The early leaf has EM61 motors. These aren't compatible with the EM57 inverter style. Different sets of parameters to control these motors.
whats the part number of this inverter? Have you ordered it brand new from parts shop?
Part numbers listed here, used github.com/dalathegreat/Nissan-LEAF-Inverter-Upgrade#part-numbers
spy pro is now updated for this modification?
Yes
Is the charger from E+ 62kWh(the fast one) leaf is compatible with 2013? Can I upgrade to 6,6kW charger from same donor car doing inverter swap?
Yes this is possible!
Interesting.. So it must have been your efforts that caused confusion for the insurance sales person (and me) because he questioned me if I had 80kW, 110kW or 160kW Ze0 Leaf and I thought there was ever only one option ;)
😂
what about reduction gear？sure AZE0 and ZE1 must be different
Nope! Slightly thicker axles only!
What is the Leaf equivalent of ludicrous mode? 😀
Leafblower mode ofcourse!
whats the pn for the 160kw inverter
Link in the description to Github!
Is that the same as the Nismo inverter?
No clue even what the Nismo inveter is! got link?
Mitä arvelet, kun nyky sähköautoissa on näitä lithium-ion pohjaisia akkua ja jonkin verran ollut uutisia uudesta Solid state akkuteknologiasta niin onnistuukohan joskus tälläisen uudemman akun asennus vanhaan autoon jos ne fyysiseltään kooltaan ovat samanlaisia.
Kyllä, vaan aika-kysymys!
How much power would the first generation Leaf (from year 2012), motor handle?
2011-2012 ZE0? With aftermarket inverter they go over 300hp, for example this ua-cam.com/video/S6OInkLWAhk/v-deo.html
How do I train my new tire sensors to my leaf it's showing a tire sensor light on the dash im in Tuscaloosa alabama 8:49am

Hi Dala, Im hunting for a 160kw inverter, do you know of a good place to find ?
bruktdel.no
Thanks Dala the great, no luck for me, i typed invarder, then i tried nissan , then leaf. I dont know what to search for in Norwegian :(
@@jestronixhanderson9898 use the part numbers listed on the github page
hi) I wanted to ask why only 145kW maximum is given out by the motor, but the request is for 160kW? can-bridge says that the battery is ready to give 160kW, but in fact it is 145kW and 400A. I have a battery capacity + extra in the trunk = 60kw.
Traction control cuts power when wheels are not getting traction. Next spring/summer I will get full power ☺️
@@DalasEVRepair I installed sports tires for Winter without studs. the wheels do not slip. The slip control system is disabled. even if you roll it, it doesn't produce more than 144kw🤷🏻♂️ I increased the multiplier for VCM from 1.6 to 1.8, but only the pedal changes at start.
@@olegmalinin4975 interesting, let's discuss this on the openinverter forum, maybe some fault code is on?

Sounds like you need a lsd. I don't know if anybody makes one for the Leaf?
If we get enough people to do this upgrade, maybe some company can start to look into making an LSD :D
@@DalasEVRepair Quaife does if you order ca 20 I think. Several car clubs has gotten diffs made by sending in an original open diff and ordering a big batch. Question is if there's a marked. Maybe if the newer Leaf also has the same diff. Keep up your good work, greetings from Norway.
Do you think it is possible to upgrade the 2012 Nissan Leaf with the more powerful inverter?
Not this way. The 2012 LEAF has an EM61 motor. All the stuff I show in this series is for the 2013+ EM57.
One way would be to go for an aftermarket inverter, but good luck getting that to integrate with the standard LEAF VCM!

1. Maybe install wider tyres to stop wheelspin.
2. Does a Leaf not have Traction Control, you always talk about the car spinning the wheels, which should not happen very much with TC.
Don't think this would be possible in my 2 bed apartment.😐
не то. я уже подумал что кто то наконец засунул в лиф батарею на 160 киловатт-часов. лифу нужна большая батарея, а не мощность.
Батарея 160кВт была бы круто!
@@DalasEVRepair 2 батареи от jaguar i-pace: одну в корыто, вторую в багажник. думаю что в европе их продают не очень дорого. у нас они стоят по 10 000 евро.
Hey Dala! I just subbed to your channel, this is awesome! I was wondering if you can make a video to better explain HOW to do the can bridge install and programming for the car to accept the inverter. I know you posted the files on github, but for totally clueless people who want to do this upgrade, a step by step could be awesome!!! Ex what computer do I need, what cable, what software etc. Thanks!!
Hi,
I have a video up here on how to install a CAN-bridge: ua-cam.com/video/-gLMUeE2mXo/v-deo.html
The same info can be applied to the inverter upgrade, the location is different as shown in the github page. But with this info it should be really easy to install one.
I am hoping that Leafspy will get the resolver coding soon, if not, check out this site for more info on manual resolver offset coding: openinverter.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1895
@@DalasEVRepair will I still need the can bridge once leafspy coding works? I'm sorry I don't really understand the role of the can bridge... If I do the battery upgrade and then inverter upgrade do I need two can bridges?
@@cloutiernicholas Yes, CAN bridge is needed to get more power out of it. If you skip the CAN-bridge, the inverter will just run at 80kW.

Looking to do the upgrade, but seems that write function still isn't implemented in LEAF Spy. What hardware/CAN adapter would I need to write resolver code using CANrunner? Thanks!
See this thread openinverter.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=31056
@@DalasEVRepair Thanks Dala! Is there any speicifc USB-CAN adapter that is needed to use CANrunner? The Kvaser one listed on their site seems quite expensive, which one do you use in your video?
