Removing the R section was fairly straight forward. I found some shrapnel inside the housing between the two bearings. The shrapnel was from a bearing cage but the cages on the two bearings inside the R section were fine. I conclude a bearing (the smaller rear bearing) had been previously replaced ...

Yesterday I removed the ravigneaux section with the intent to have a few mm machined off the back end to facilitate making an adapter plate for my transfer case.. I'll be taking it and my transfer case to my buddy Peter's place to 3D scan the two faces.

After removing the ravigneaux section, I ...

Finally got the transmission placed where I think it'll fit with only minor reworking of the trans tunnel. Built a cross member and re-used a tranny mount from another truck.

Also I mocked up a battery box that can hold all 8 modules out of one of the BMW i3 packs. I ...

I know Herb you plan on welding but it would be nice to have a bolt in option.


Welding is simple for me but I'm not averse to there being a bolt pattern and I can CAD my own adapter plate to match the bolt pattern you decide on, to mount to my shaft adapter+clutch plate. It just means having ...

I believe I saw somewhere that we can just use TOYOTA clutch plates which have the same splines, this is on my to do list to find which MAKES will work, I am bumping it up my list now. Anyone know off hand any 2007-12 era manual transmission Toyota car Models or there abouts?


I only know about ...

I was planning to make a custom cross-member that bolted to existing bolt holes on the bell housing so I don't need anything special and if others want ears or what have you, I can always cut them off or use them. I would likely have to modify whatever design to adapt my clutch plate adapter anyway ...

I finally got enough metal work done to do away with the rotisserie and do a test drop onto the chassis to check for transmission fitment issues.

Well, I was unable to get OnShape to load the .3mf bellhousing before it ran out of Browser Memory, so I guess it'll have to be someone with an actual CAD program.

And if you guys have the ls600h bellhousing pattern and can share it, I can make that version too.


Another forum user just did a 3D scan of the ls600h transmission and transfer case. I'll let him chime in to offer up the file. I was going to take my ravigneaux section down to a friend's place ...

Greg, If you get me what the hole sizes need to be i can update the DXF.

Just curious if you ever created an updated DXF? I was just about to send one of these off for mfg.

I think the obvious conclusion is that the "Dual Motors" emblem on the tailgate offers a significant performance boost.

Kind of all over the place. I ordered some new bearings for the oil pump because I figure it's easier to replace them now when there's not all kinds of sheet metal in the way.

I could NOT remove those screws on the motor housing. My JIS drivers were loaned to a fellow club member who subsequently ...

I've been moving forward on a few fronts. Still slaving away with sheet metal which is too boring to report on.

I also drained the ATF out of the L110F to clean up some dents on the pan put there by the wrecker. Ordered a new filter and gasket while I'm at it.

[Not a lot of "EV conversion" content in this update.]

Got over my procrastination on the passenger rear corner and have got it together good enough for who it's for.

Also pulled the old drivetrain, removed a bunch of heat shields, skid plates, etc and pressure ...

You can find teensy 3.2 on eBay for 70$ 🤷🏼‍♂️


I don't think I get it. The teensy 3.2 is just an AVR board (that has apparently been superceded by a Teensy 4.0?) but that a SimpBMS board has additional components/connectors on it. So are you saying I only need an AVR with a CAN interface and I ...

My initial goal was to use that software to assess the state of each pack and the software appears to have some way to check the level of each cell. I should mention that I'm still in read/learn mode on this whole project and I did look at SimpBMS which is at the deep-end of the pool (for me) not to ...

Still procrastinating on sheet metal. Also procrastinating on taking apart the back half of the transmission to work on an adapter plate. Also procrastinating on removing the drive train from the chassis to see whether one of these battery packs can be made to fit.

I’ve been working on trying to ...

This is starting to get real.

qty 3, BMW i3 42kwh battery packs bought at auction with fees, taxes and delivered to my trailer, for around $3200 CAD (approx $2350 USD). Condition not yet known.

I have achieved "spinning flanges".

It's not bolted up and just kinda supported by a block of wood so it's shaking a bit.

@TongueTester Have you got your Ravigneaux case off yet?

I'm procrastinating on rebuilding my right rear corner. It's not coming together the way I imagined.

So I decided to play with the Zombie and L110F. With kind help from some forum members and a terrific wiring harness from @gregski's wiring harness manufacturing ...

Got my Zombieverter from Ireland and an LS600H specific wiring harness from @Gregski's custom-wiring-harness service and case/connectors from Alibaba.

Need to verify my pinout above before I start crimping pins.

In the meantime, metalwork continues.

Wow.. A whole month has gone by and I still don't have a lot to report. Outdoor projects are still interfering with my day to day life and it's compounded by my neighbor wanting to aerosolize sawdust into the shop while I'm wanting to weld.

Got my Zombie board in the mail and got a throttle pedal ...

btw, here are some pictures I took the other day at the optimal clocking for my driveshaft which just barely clears the oil cooler line. The driveshaft clears better if I adjust the clocking so the driveshaft is higher but then my driveline angle might be pretty extreme and I might need a double ...

I estimate that the L110f transfer gets about 36mm of shaft engagement based on the measurements and summary below.

18mm from edge of transfer case input shaft to where the spline taper finishes
about 10mm from mating face to edge of transfer case input shaft


We've already established that I ...

Not much to report. My spring TODO list is getting in the way of progress plus I'm having to learn how to hammer form some wheel arches but that's out of scope for this forum. I also bought the inverter from the same vehicle the transmission came from.

I did get the whole thing on an engine stand ...
