There are multiple ways to convert a vehicle to electric. I discuss how I am going about it and the reasons why. Land Rover 'FTI' (Full Tesla Integration)
I'm half way through converting a 1997 300tdi 130 with the MY motor in South Australia, I initially contemplated doing a complete transplant and the only way I though it was going to work was by creating new sub frames front and back with dual motor or using other OEM subframes from a Patrol or similar, I haven't gone that way and just used the rear motor mounted the same as yours.. After watching your videos I can really appreciate the amount of work involved to get to where you are and the dedication to make it work and on top of that producing all the videos, awesome work. Keen to see it working!
Nice! Would love to see more details on your build! Personally I think it is definitely better to retain the original suspension of the Land Rover. Thanks for the nice comments, the whole point is to try to make it a little easier for other people like yourself!
Yeh, if I had one it would definitely be worth a try! I guess you would need to pair it to the car using Tesla Toolbox? Will be investigating Tesla Toolbox with a friend soon - maybe I can reconfigure the current MCU to just be a single motor setup!
@@sydneyg007 No, other way around, you would need to pair everything else to the new MCU. You would need to buy an MCU with matching vsec module and a key card. And SRS module. Everything else can be paired to it. Only rear motor will need toolbox to be paired, I think. Fir everything else you would just need to do a software reinstall.
@@diytesla Yeh right. That makes sense, the MCU is the heart of the whole system really I guess. Think I'll just try with what I have using the front motor emulator!
