Re: [WIP] Volvo Vee70 with Outlander Rear Motor

The Volvo V70XC is quite rare and parts for it are even rarer. Currently there are less than 10 Volvo V70XC for sale in Germany :O In the second generation, the XC70, the rear axle configuration is completely different as far as I know, so no parts are interchangeable. (And if it wasn't completely s...

Re: [WIP] Volvo Vee70 with Outlander Rear Motor

Not much progress this week, but some odds and ends got done or at least started. First of all I started with a mount for the Hella UP28 vacuum pump. It lives in the spot where the old ignotion coil used to be, which is obviously not needed anymore. Unfortunately the design is flawed and the pump do...

Re: [WIP] BMW Z3

The internet says that the diff is the same as in the E36 compact, which should be available (somewhat) plentiful. At least compared to Z3 differentials.

The compact had 3.07 and 3.23 in the 323ti and 323tiA (which stands for Automatic I guess?): http://www.e36racing.de/differenzial.php

It looks like you might need a cable gland for the high voltage port, so this might interest you: viewtopic.php?t=3563 (shameless plug...umm..gland :D ).

If you do disturb the paint / galvanized layers you could use por15 metal prep, leaves a zinc layer on steel as a great / protected base for paint. Well POR15 is not really available in Germany (anymore) and I've heard mixed reviews about it. It apparently cracks after a couple of years, letting mo...

Re: Inverter doesn't run motor

Damien had problems with the Enova motors where the resolvers got lose and I think the cable was either unshielded or the shielding was attached somewhere where it would pick up noise from the inverter. There are some videos from him about the topic, you should find them when searching for "Eno...

The issue that can arise is that the solder flows into the via and not enough solder is left for the actual component. It's not much of an issue for hand soldering but it can lead to tombstoning in the reflow process.

Re: [WIP] Volvo Vee70 with Outlander Rear Motor

Consider hammering the metal in there before cutting the housing. I did consider that, but I'll have to see if there's enough clearance for the carpet left when doing that. Other than that I would prefer not to disturb the original galvanziation and potentially create a place for rust to start. But...

why not just use the outlander gearbox? much much more efficient and lighter! Well that has multiple reasons: - I'm not sure if anyone has done that and it's possible that the internal gearing is so high that the car will have trouble accelerating from standstill (like with the Lexus MGR). - The CV...
