It is insane, how Sashas brain works. This is so far out of reach regular Joe. But also very cool, that he is showing us that there is another way to make power, and it is pretty green way also.
@@RadDadisRad It's still very much out of reach for the average person, it will become less of an issue as more hybrids/EV's enter the market and parts become more available as well as confident in working with the technology.
I disagree too, "out of the reach of most", nah, but the commitment to see it though is no small feet, it's not about capability it's about commitment, dedication and sacrifice, most people may lack commitment but that's not due to a lack of ability! I'm not underestimating this Build, I'm just not underestimating "the average Joe"!
I always said this is what Honda should have done years ago. CRZ was a baby step in this direction but imagine an S2000 style motor tuned for absolute top end power plus loads of low down electric torque.
@@TrichbeeT I mean can you really consider the NSX a superior hybrid when a GT-R making the same power and returns the same MPG while ruining on a heavier and older platform??? The NSX is capable but it kind of fails at being a hybrid.
this whole build feel like an F1 build. awesome build! from 2014 they have to have a 1.6 liter turbocharged v6, they also have electric motors that they can turn on to give extra power
Having looked at various EV motors and invertors, with him saying the 200bhp 800v motor and knowing by sight what that inverter is that he's using, I already know what the motor is without even looking at it :D That thing is a true monster.
i love this idea. every time i talk to my car friends about this type of conversion, it normally ends with them telling me it would cost too much to achieve properly, which i agree with. but to see others are starting to do this means in 10-20 years from now it could potentially cost less to achieve properly. i want to do this with a 1993 Mitsubishi 3000gt vr4.
I'd estimate $2500-3000 to hook a belt-drive assist motor in to replace the alternator and starter. You'd have to write custom software, but it's definitely possible...
That is awesome. I'm glad someone was able to make a cool hybrid without the help of OEMs. I really want to make a hybrid 55 Chevy someday. I love my Tesla, but with vintage cars, having your hood up at the car show is half the fun, so I'd still have an engine to show off, just with way more power to the ground.
Ohhhhhh myyyy goddddd!?!?!?!?! Ive been waiting for an update for so long!?!!!! I just watch his videos on replay and now thiss!!!🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️thank you speed academy you guys are the shit!!!!
These are the end days of the gas engine, so I'm glad Sasha and people like him are giving other platforms like the VQ a chance to shine! This is going to be a pioneer for hybrid Time-Attack cars!
Lot of the sound is pretty much the valve train. Look up some videos of something called a "Spintron", which is used to test/analyse engine valve trains by spinning the motor with an electric motor.
Seen the previous episode a whole ago, only just caught up with this one. This car is seriously impressive work, getting all that to work together. Really interesting and ground breaking stuff. Thanks so much for sharing it with us and can't wait to see the next stage!
Kind of amazing how insane and mind boggling work this is. but then makes me think how much work toyota and them put into making that hybrid system as good as it is that you don't even notice anything.
Great initial results! I’d have to imagine Sasha has spent lots of tuning hours getting the powerplant to this point. Thanks for taking the time to give us enginerds the deep dive into how everything is set up!
Thanks for posting the nerdy stuff, one of the reasons why I love this channel - some familiar sights here from my time with Porsche Motorsport, the wierd one off in house projects were always my favorite. We had an all Carbon 993 with a Water-cooled 4.0L from a GT3 Cup that had some... similar... Inspirations. Take alot of this 350Z and those Porsche Projects as ideas and notes for my Mitsubishi 3000GT Trackcar projects (you're allowed to laugh) Lots of high-end salvaged racecar bits I've hung onto and repurposed.
This is an insane build! If this is where the future of car modding is headed I am excited! Just imagine instead of adding a supercharger or turbocharging, you can go with a hybrid setup for more power!
It's so interesting to see Sasha popping up all over my youtube searching. I'm watching Obsessed Garage and Matt recently god a model 3 and has parts on order from Mountain Pass Performance. I've recently got a 370z and have been researching mods for the VQ and keep coming across Sasha's amazing VQ. AND to top it all off I'm also in Ontario like you guys. Wild.
Phong at PFI just pulled that from a K! Still thou this electric VQ marriage is some beautiful engineering I absolutely love this car and am in awe and admiration for its builder/driver.....👍👌👍
This thing is amazing Sasha you're a bloody genius I wish this was released to public as a kit of some sort having even a basic 350z as a hybrid would be cool
While everyone is sucking up to freshkiicks 800whp turbo 350z I’m over here like wtf has Sasha created??? All motor beast vq35 making 600whp in naturally aspirated form is fucking beyond insane
really amazing project. Really nice work of art which makes this car totally in another league. Such potential with the electric motor having that extra power at low rpm which gas engines lack. Cant wait to see this beauty on track. Haven't really subscribed to automotive channels. How can I not subscribe here!
Cant help but feel this sort of integrated motor assist would be great on a rotary application. hear me out on this. but the rotary needs rpm to make power, but its torque band is relatively low and flat. so if you could supplement it with a motor generator set all of a sudden you dont need excessive boost levels.
Would you want to add capacitors off the charging system to keep the shock to a minimum? Just curios if how that would work to not shock the system but not having more weight added.
21:42 What if there was a big capacitor circuit that received the back fed regen energy, and then a resistor that leads to the battery? You could damp the high voltage spikes 🤷♂️
It's not the high voltage the problem it's the uge crurent rush that tend to damage électrodes inside the battery. If you want to know more about this topic look up for electrode celerity on google, li-ion battery are kinda weak on this point compared to lead acid for exemple, even tho they have a much higher energy density, it's a technologie limitation. So you will need a very high capacity capacitor or supercapacitor to accepte that kind of crurent and they are, for capacitor, way too small in term of energy density or, for supercapacitor, way too limited in term of voltage and would need a lot of space to accomodate for those high voltage. That's why you see them on boat or bus but rarely on cars it's a bit too limited in space.
toto dona They could build a circuit that lessens the spike with this system, it doesn’t need to be fed entirely through the capacitor. However, I do see what you mean... a few big tantalum caps could be integrated to damp it, but it does seem like a half measure (based on envelope math). 🤔 I will look through my EE books for more inspiration! Thank you for the quick lesson Toto
This is crazy listening to him explain that the electric motor needs to be wound to match the battery voltage because the same basic principle applies to rc cars I used to build. The power upgrade for electric RC is a high voltage battery system and electric motor wound to match your voltage rating, I never custom wound motors but researched how because I needed to in order to get a motor correctly wound for my batteries voltage rating.
So curious how the mechanical coupling of both the electric motors and the engine is specifically. Wondering if it can be used for a DIY hybridization.
Q: wouldn't it be more efficient in any sort of EV mode, for this configuration if there's away to cut off air to the engine so that it kept a vacuum rather than moving and compressing air?
Very interesting but also made me think how will dealers and workshops cope with high voltage electrics on EV’s, can see some incidents happening. Some extensive training is required.
what will gain you the most lap time is not the top en hp but the low end torque the elec motor will give you while the engine is not at peak power, which is what i was hoping he was going to show in the dyno run so im a bit disappointed the dyno run only covered the top end
They got smart guys. Makes me think of how the new Honda Hybrid system they call it a CVTe, but really it's just a two speed trans with a single clutch. That alone negated a ton of the weight associated with the hybrid system. Just stupid Honda programmed their setup to be boring as shit and even when you hit the "sport" button nothing happens. They missed the boat on making a hybrid drivetrain that would actually make a car fun.
Can you launch it? I mean the injectors and ignition will be off for the first half second, you are literally starting the engine once you start rolling, this is insane :o I really want to see it stopping and driving, would this work in a street application? I can only imagine the complexity of the tune to get it all working in sync. Mind= blown
You can do this but you would need a high voltage ac compressor like in a tesla or belt driven but both rob power. Could use a chevy spark system they use ac compressor for cooling charging loop on the dc fast charging cars
Glad you corrected yourself, motor= electric, engine= petrol(or diesel). Using the American generalization of calling fuel power engines, motors doesn’t work when you have both!
