Re: VW T3 EV Conversion Kit
As for EMC testing, latest indiction I got from Dutch authorities was 8000€ when combining EMC approved parts myself. When using parts from only 1 vehicle producer which are already used in a type approved vehicle this will be significantly cheaper. AFAIK the 'cheaper' route only works if you use t...

Re: 1972 Plymouth Satellite Tesla LDU Swap
Very impressive work, especially on the pushrod suspension, very cool!
Headlight look pretty sweet as well, how is the build quality of those units?

Re: Tesla Large Drive Unit Support Thread
I talked to my Tesla motor provider today about getting you a Tesla model 3 motor for testing. He said that a company in Canada developed a controller for the 3 and ended up buying all his stock and future stock of motors. Bummer. Actually the company has not developed the controller yet. I talked ...

Re: 2 BMW E46 Projects
I personally don't realy care about the M3 being butchered or not, there are more than enough of those things. But from an economic standpoint it really doesn't make any sense. E46 M3's are quite valuable compared to all other E46's and butchering it will make it a LOT less valuable, automatically m...

Re: 2 BMW E46 Projects
Plan for the M3 is to use the GS450h gearbox with Damien's controller and make it a hybrid. :) Again, similar ideas regarding batteries, BMSes and chargers, but in this case the DC/DC isn't needed as I'm not going to touch anything on the engine side (this keeps it real simple when it comes time fo...

Re: '70 MGB Roadster - 2015 Leaf EM57 powered
Awesome project en very well documentated. This really gives a clear insight in all the steps required! Please continue
Btw that is a VERY good buy on that battery pack right? I don't know the going rate for those is in the USA but 24kWh for 1800 USD seems to me like a steal.

Thanks for posting! Hey Jon, I've been following your project with great interest as I'm also thinking about converting an E30. In my case it will be a Touring. Do you have any more info and pictures of the LDU mount under the car? Specifically the front engine mount, I can't find any pictures abou...

Re: BMW e39 "i5"
Nice. Could you explain why this is a safer solution? It's still signal (but now as a variable resistance instead of voltage) that has to reach the controller. Instead of a direct 0-5V signal to the controller that is converte to digital over there you have now added an extra component that can pote...

There's a FB group of EV Landrover-ers. How much is the converted Mini? 79000 pounds starting price, don't know if that includes the car or is only the cost of converting. Probably is the price for a completely converted ready to go car. Anyhow quite a steep price level if you ask me. Wow! What mar...
