So progress continues to be a little slow but I thought I'd post a brief update anyway: I managed to purchase the motor mounts. We're intending on bolting the front one to the original engine mount via an adapter plate. The rear one will be bolted to a welded-in cross section. Please let me know if ...

Morning All, Does anyone have any advice or observations in using a 60ah BMW i3 battery to drive a Tesla large drive unit. There seems to be little information on the net about using the i3 battery for ev conversions or controlling the BMS etc. I have access to an i3 battery for a reasonable price b...

As per my post above, the below image shows the mounting of the Hella UP28 vacuum pump (2009 Vauxhall Astra) in the Boxster mid-engine-bay. The system incorporates a Dracarys vacuum pressure switch and non return valve - everything purchased off eBay. The vacuum switch effectively provides a ground ...

Thanks both for your response. Since writing the above post I noticed that Zero EV are now selling a reverse drive oil pump which I'm going to try. By way of an update, I've now installed the electric brake booster vacuum pump and electric power steering pump into the car. Making the brackets and in...

I bought an MS3Pro 23 pin centre harness with 8ft tails from an American company called DIYautotune.com for $49.

As my car is a later 986 Boxster, it already has an e-pedal / hall effect accelerator pedal installed. I managed to find a wiring diagram online and traced the relevant 6 pin-outs back to a loom in the boot that previously went to the DME. Hopefully three of these inputs will talk to the inverter vi...

With the engine bay mostly stripped out, it was time to see whether the LDU would fit…Well, what I can say is that mounted in the correct orientation, it doesn’t. However, it fits if installed back to front. There are however a couple of considerations I need to be aware of before confirming; (1) Wh...

Hello! I thought it was about time that I started documenting my project in here. Before I start I’d like to give a rough background to my story…I got the EV bug nearly 4 years ago when I purchased a BMW I3 for my wife. 18 months later, I started watching Damien’s videos on YouTube and enjoyed the r...

Just registered on this forum and it really is a breath of fresh air. The content is current and I now haven't got to hunt around the web for breadcrumbs of information as most of my questions are already answered here.

I will start a new thread with my build shortly. Thanks!
