1984 Voltswagen Rabbit DIY EV Conversion Motor Mounts Part 4 Nicely done! Your welding seems solid. My mindset to building new mounts was to make them removable or better yet them allow me to directly access the motor and stuff that i would need to replace or service. I would be really annoyed some...

Now you are truly on the path to put in Outlander motor and inverter .

I redid my VCU wiring so that i use ignition to allways start VCU power together with VCU logic. Now VCU allways starts in sync. This means step 2 and the shutoff loop are redundant. But i will leave it in in case if i come to a different solution. This is in no way perfect. Let me explain the wirin...

This one is shorter. There is another which is a bit larger. Both the same way internally.

I decide to connect additional 12S module, 8 in total together. This last module will live under the rear seats. I cut an underside plate from 5mm Alu which will help fix the module in place and dissipate the heat. To fix it in place i used 100mm M10 bolts that i fit from the underside and carefully...

Rear box will remains much the same. image.png My idea was to fit 4 battery modules in sandwich on 8mm thick Alu sheet. They will be supported by two C inox sections bolted into the box from underside. Each lower module is bolted to upper module by M10 x 180 bolts. Those bolts incidentally join toge...

After some serious driving with Outlander VCU, for more than 200km stretch... i may share some thought about this VCU. Teensy works really well when it works inside its loop. That means when VCU is activated and car is in FWD or RWD mode drive is very smooth, no jumps or glitches. Torque is somewhat...

Not sure if you meant building a battery or the freezing temps & charging. I was looking at using LEV60F cells with a BMS and a heater. I watched the video but I didn't see anything about how to deal with below freezing temps and charging. Was considering ultra caps then switching on the batter...

On another note... Maybe you could use Lebowski drive. It is now trully opensource. https://endless-sphere.com/sphere/threads/lebowski-controller-ic-2-b0-source-code-and-short-explanation.104895/ Interface is really simple for driving a prop. Lebowski has a way of sensing magnet-coil interaction ins...

Hm... Then you told them about the airplane already? Maybe you could suggest them to enter into signed agreement where they state they provide you with maintenance data and development data. Reciprocally you provide them with legal statement you absolve them from legal responsibility regarding your ...

I will be using The Zenith 701 airframe. I don't have any can information, this is were I lack experience. I have only a general wiring diagram. This is were I need help. Ok, wiring is not a problem. To use CAN bus you would need to have native protocol document. This will show which IDs are used a...

I use it as well. I keep one grinder with cutting disk, one with thicker disc and the third one with that grinding pads disk which allows me to quickly grind my welds to see if there are any cracks...

Heating the springs to the point where they bend will destroy the tempering of the spring significantly weakening it. Essentially heating something cherry red and letting it cool down slowly will anneal the steel. It's a very bad idea. Well annealing is the point here if you want to lower the ride ...

Ya...! I am a little dissapointed... :( I managed to add another module so 8 total ID3 modules in Mazda for 53kWh at 360V 96S. 20240308_224630.jpg 20240308_224644.jpg 20240308_224655.jpg Then i went on and calibrated my display and tested the power of the beast :). Together 53kWh makes up for about ...

Hi, I am building a unique project, hoping someone could please help. I am building a STOL drag airplane First type to be electric. I acquired a duel axial motor setup .2 MAGELEC PROPULSION M24P4-D-19 AXIAL FLUX With matching motor controller's, I don't have a compatible vcu. I was hoping someone c...

I just received another heater myself. Its good to have spares. With Outlander parts its simple replacement if something goes wrong.

I used to write Aircraft Maintenance Programs for a living. I will simply add new component page to Mazda manual .

. If it feels like a seesaw over bumps at certain speeds the suspension frequency is off. This is kind of old school for suspension tuining but it works well. Hmmm... could be thats why i feel like suspension vibrates 1/2s after i dove through a pothole. Or is it just old worn 1992 bushings... i wi...

If any of you can recommend some adjustable shocks/springs I would really appreciate it. I used 3cm alu pads with rear shocks as my EV weight distribution changed from 68:32 to 50:50. It caused a weird front axle geometry and funny drive trough turns. When i put the pads at the rear the front actua...

, this is one of the reason I want to try 2" drop spindles on that truck instead of 2" shorter coil springs I am sorry to be late to the party... In the old days (i am not that old) i remember autotuning folks saying how to cheaply lower the car. You wrap the installed spring by moist rag...

I am back. I made a new wiring for the front elements CAN bus and separated 12V power supply in case that would help with any noise on the line. It didnt! Heater still wouldnt start and i could see speedo jumping at speed. This frustrated me greatly, but l simply turned to sorting some ancillaries s...

Yes, it's not gonna be a power house but I recon it's going to be fine. You could fit the rear parts of axle of the XC70 to your V70which is driven and fit another outlander motor there. Inverter actually doesnt care where it is located. You could actually connect 2 inverter to a single battery and...

One is in the oil pan and one is in the engine block itself. The piston of the first cylinder moves freely but the rest of the engine is seized. Hm... i remember a guy who cut down the front part of the Nissan Juke engine and used it to fix the last bearing in place from both sides. In fact he used...

Effectively it's a Arduino Due with two CAN channels. There is also eeprom needed for effective DUE use, wich led me to design my own shield that goes over DUE board and has 2 CAN chips, uln2003 chip for outputs and two small relays for using stronger contactors. Input power is protected by a diode...
