How did you come to acquire the the adapter plate for the transmission to motor along with the motor shaft coupler and battery boxes? Your project looks fantastic and I am about ready to buy my donor car.
electricgt.com/ can make the adapter plate and supply the flywheel/clutch assembly with the coupler when you buy the motor from them. I just got my new box installed from amprevolt.com/collections/tesla-parts/products/battery-boxes-2-pack-for-tesla-model-s-battery-modules . If you're not following me on instagram @electrovair you can send me an email gregory@electricgt.com and I can send more photos or quotes for you.
Sorry Joe! Car is running driving and headed to paint soon. I haven't been good about RU-vid but there is lots of stuff on Instagram if you look me up there. I promise to make a more complete video soon
I'm a bit surprised the batterys pull the front down that much more than 15 gallons of fuel. Those battery's must be super heavy. Did you say 300lbs total ?
@@electrovair477 There must be something electrically bad about placing batteries in multiple locations throughout a car in an EV conversion. I"ve seen a good number of ev conversion videos and almost nobody does that....place batteries in several spots around the car. Perhaps the charge or discharge rates would be inconsistent. But it would seem like and ideal solution to put some batteries in from andn some in back over the motor.
@@motoflyte lots of builds with multiple battery locations to balance weight. This particular car is now balanced front to rear and just needed a little help in the front because it was so light to begin with.
@@malcolmcapps8816 didn't want to lose the back seat. The batteries only weight 300lbs so it really isn't that bad of weight distribution front to rear.
so I think I would have tried to fit some batteries in the back seat and some in the engine bay, not sure how hard that would be but it would change the overall weight distribution. What is the total weight of batteries ? Is it more than the engine less the weight of the motor?
No need for motors in the back. There's still a motor and transmission that weight about the same as the 300lbs of batteries in the frunk. It has good weight distribution, just had weak springs not designed for that weight.
