Making the coupler: electric car conversion motor upgrade part 2
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 тра 2024
- My electric car conversion needs more power, so I'm swapping out the Mitsubishi Outlander front motor for the one from the rear with much more torque in the right rev range. In this video I make up the main components for the coupler to connect this motor to my BMW Z3/E36 gearbox. And I make some more progress on the adaptor plate, trimming down the motor side and starting to measure up the gearbox side.
This is my first video after two weeks out with COVID, so forgive my pasty face and shoddy camera work! - Авто та транспорт
AMAZINGNES!!!
Good progress mate. Glad you're feeling better.
Cheers!
Great watching this materializing!
I've always removed that sleeve over the input shaft, it's what the clutch used to slide on
Aha! I possibly should have done that. Will see if it causes any problems. Could always stick a grub screw in to lock the coupler to one set of splines.
good stuff.
Thanks!
I know corona sucks as I had it also about a moth ago. It just completely takes all the energy out of you and you can't do anything useful. Its great that you recovered and back with renewed vigour and energy🙂
Thanks! Hope you're fully well again too?
@@EVDIY yes all good now thanks, the unfortunate thing that I have not progressed with my work till now
hey Pal, great vids.
I'm ready to get my conversion going on my 1970 VW Camper but have genuinely spent the last 2 months asking everybody i know in the motor trade, to either give me a day rate price with me helping or even straight quote and all i've got in response is utter fear. Would you happen to know anybody in the Buckinghamshire area that would be up for it?
Thanks John.
Thanks! Are you on the OpenInverter forum? Or the DIY Electric Cars UK Facebook group? You might have some luck there. I don't know anyone in Bucks but there are plenty of people based in the south east on there who have done or are doing conversions. Even some pro garages working with them.
@@EVDIY thanks for getting back bro. Yeh, i had a chat with someone on DIY Electric Cars but he eventually declined so i'm gonna go at it myself (gulp). Have you got anyone good for making the bespoke Half-shafts and cradle brackets for the Tesla SDU's?
I don't I'm afraid. Worth talking to Paul who built the Tesla-powered Porsche - he was on my DIY EV Chat series and he's on the OI forum. Also on Insta (Tesla_Porsche I think?)
@@EVDIY that's brilliant pal thanks, i'll look him up...slowly, slowly, catchy Monkey,
