This is so awesome. I've been daydreaming about this sort of thing for a while now, but the batteries are still so expensive. Even early leaf batteries seem to have dried up. Leaf batteries seem to be around $125/rated kwh, Tesla modules close to $300/kwh.

Don't you just love gently prying on 40 year old plastic?

I would imagine taking off hard in 3rd or 5th would probably shear the gears.

IOwnCalculus posted:Why? Higher gears usually have smaller teeth and narrower gear faces. NV5600s and G56s always blow up 5th or 6th. T5s always blow up 5th. WRX 5 speeds always blow up third. RA width gears for the WRX are only 1mm wider, but are supposed to be nearly 50% stronger. Powershift fucked around with this message at 23:43 on Apr 11, 2018 |

How much experience do you have with this type of thing? There are 2 30hp canned hermetic motors coming up at an auction here that look like they could be siamesed and stuffed in a driveshaft tunnel. http://details.maauctions.com/IndlistingYYC_Detail?Link=10/8/2018%5E83308c162ad04acaa5f257baf2bc7f9b Electric motors usually go for scrap value, the pair of them could be around $200.and any project with them would probably be years off, but how well do you think these would work in powering a car? Looking at the plate, they're 230/460v AC, 104/52 amp, 30hp, 1750rpm, continuous duty cycle. designed to run pumps.

Is any of your HVAC stuff vacuum controlled? I would think on any EV conversion with power steering you would want to go to hydro-boost and cut out the vacuum system entirely.

Might time to add a line lock into the budget.
