Kiitos uudesta videosta. Vaikuttava! I am very curious about the following steps. I am really impressed about your knowledge and the enthusiasm for upgrading the Leaf. Om det var inte så långt väg jag kunde komma till din värkstad för uppgradera min Leaf......
@@DalasEVRepairi agree and disagree. Been tuning ice for 30 years if you know it not bad. Getting my first leaf and prob a 2nd as parts car to convert an ice maybe
Excellent video quality! Thanks for quieting the background music when you speak. It would be even better if its volume was decreased by half when you don't speak.
This is a great thing for Leaf owners and shows the state of EV tuning. I think based on the low value of the Leaf it is ripe for tuning. Two issues though. First you really should have just crimped new pins onto the OEM connector. I’m sure with a little hunting you could have acquired them for very little money. Secondly your splices as shown were poor. They have no mechanical strain connection in the way you performed them. You should mesh the stripped wire strands into each other then applied solider or performed a lineman’s splice. Also, the heat shrink should have sealant inside to prevent corrosion inside the heat shrink. Still a great video, I also like how you skipped sections of the assembly. As the part everyone really cared about was the process to swap inverters/wiring.
At the time when video was made, part numbers for Yazaki connectors were not known. I have since then added this to the guide, so that people can order the correct connectors and re-pin instead of splicing: github.com/dalathegreat/Nissan-LEAF-Inverter-Upgrade#part-numbers-
I also collected this option today) I only have an inverter of 62 kW. The colors of the wires all matched the color on my 2014 Japan and the wiring is also from Japan. The compressor is held by 3 bolts and unscrewing them with a 13 wrench is not a problem without removing the wheels. 4 errors appeared and a yellow car lit up on the dashboard. The car is driving, tomorrow I will fill in antifreeze and make a hose for the rear.
@@DalasEVRepair Need of course))) To drive fast I need a canbridge and do I need to register an inverter through Consult 3+? How is the cost of the canbridge?
video idea for dala: i wonder if its possible to upgrade or swap 2013 or newer leaf powertrains into the older 2011-12 leafs? same idea for the P-brake / E-brake, i prefer the manual cable E-brake over the electric P-brake.
The new era of hot rodding shall commence! Hopefully you've done some baseline performance numbers so we can get an idea of how much of an improvement is realized. I'll guess the car might be a bit lighter than the Gen 2 car and should perform better.
Thank you for your work, I find it very inspiring. If it would be road legal in Norway my 2015 LEAF would be in your shop right now for a battery upgrade :D About this inverter upgrade and your custom cooling tube that has a copper part - assuming the inverter and the cooling parts are made from aluminium, is this not a potential corrosion inducing solution?
Strip and tin all the wires on the round connector on the work bench where it is easier, faster, and you can do a better job, then splice, solder and heat shrink in the engine bay.
Just my two cents I wouldnt use a copper pipe for the coolant. Everything else is aluminum and you dont want Galvanic corrosion to take place in the coolant system. That being said I am not sure if there are OTHER copper parts in the coolant system and nissan thought of it already or if the fluid has corrosion inhibitors built in. STILL Great video and PACKED with useful information. Thanks for all you do!

Hello Dala, great youtube videos!! Thank you for doing them. I have a broken reduction gear on my leaf and I want to swap it out. I don't want to die so I wanted to make EXTRA sure that if I disconnect the high voltage plug on the battery that everything under the hood will be safe. Is this true? Are there any capacitors or any other random things that could electrically kill me even if I pull that high voltage plug and remove the 12v battery? Thank you for your consideration
Great videos (the whole series is!)..what do you think would be involved in swapping out a 110kW inverter on a 2019 ZE1, with a 160kW inverter??? Would I need to amend the CANbus?
You know I want to upgrade that fuse on my 24kwh pack and drop the inverter in :). 30kw extra grind should be noticeable. This car is lighter than the 2019 even with the 40kwh battery ?
Don't do it unless all the wire is upgraded too. There may be more. Remember The fuse is to protect the wire Not the other way around. Upgrading the fuse may mean that the wire burns out. The fuse is chosen to be the weak link to protect other components. The wires may be the buss bars.! I hope this helps prevent tragedy.
Great Vid, Thanks Do you know if the round invertor plug is available third party or do you have the original part number, is it the same plug for the 160kw inverter ?
nice work! I recommend you to use thermal shrinking tube with solder and glue inside (you'll find a lot at bay or Alibaba), it's awesome. so the all power comes from invertor? I'm owning Nissan Note e-power with em57 motor at 80kw and there is note e-power gismo S with same battery and motor but more powerful (and Serena e-power with same more power output - 100kw). how do you think, changing invertor will be enough?

@@pashko90 The board in the new inverter has a completely different shape and is mounted at a completely different position, swapping it is likely a lot of trouble.

Speaking personally, Dala has inspired me to buy an Arduino and CAN shield and start playing with that today!
You are a genius, but does this improve the performance of the car, increase its ability to cover a longer distance, or increase its ability to receive faster power?
