I'm sure I mispoke about something. So don't roast me too hard

Short update

Most of my HV wiring supplies showed up this week. Step one is to start figuring out how to fit everything in the space available. A couple items on backorder but it is a start.

So I am just reading through this project and really admire your battery boxes.

I am curious, what did you use material wise/thickness and what is your heaviest box. I am just about to build my own boxes and have been going back and forth between aluminum and steel and thickness I need. Would love ...

To relocate the battery from its stock location I threw together a new battery box. This served as some practice prior to making the larger main battery boxes. It is going to mount between the firewall and traction battery.

Batteries and Battery Boxes

This is really the largest outstanding part of the build. With much requiring the battery location to be finalized before I can complete wiring everything together. Today the blanks for my plates arrived after several months of second guessing myself so I feel I can ...

Steering

This is honestly probably one of the more complex things I undertook. On the surface adding an electric steering motor inline isn't too large a task. What made it difficult was the spacing. This gave me the biggest appreciation for project binky and the insanity of that build ...

Yeah I was struggling to get them myself. I had Mountain Pass Performance/Motec Canada order them for me.

Of note they don't come with any connectors so you have to order them seperately. I really think sendyne works exclusively with larger parties.


A year ago or so (July) was looking at ...

hi qckslvrslash,
nice project! I look forward to seeing it progress, may I ask where you got the sim100? I have reached out to sendyne but had no reply..

Two pretty cool things turned up in the mail today.
Sendyne Sfp200 and Sim100 responsible for my current monitoring as well as detecting any hv leakage to chasis.

Awesome, and your a islander! you me and arlo should go for a cruise!


are you planing on having contractors to separate each battery box?

very interesting the crv ibooster you picked up has Tesla markings. Evcreate is Lars, he’s active on here.

interested to see if the can IDs differ from ...

it’s not out of concern for cell balance, it’s a isolation safety thing. all depends. For example a battery box up front and one in the rear, at least one connection per box should be isolated in its neutral state. in the event of a crash, you want to minimize the amount of potential live ...

HV Circuitry

This is a place I welcome criticism or advice. I have read just about everything I can and there seem to be varying opinions on best practices for HV structure. I have tried my best to create a reasonable setup based on these but I am still fallible.

Welcome fellow Motec coder. :)

This sounds like its going to be quite a fun ride when done. Definitely interested in the iBooster and AC compressor fun, as I will need to tackle that on my BMW 330 conversion.

I'm looking forward to seeing your progress, good luck!

Motor Mounting Part 2

What became clear and entirely by luck was that the stock tesla side mount fit nearly perfectly into the driver side rear lower control arm mount. To make this work the mount would have to be remade just a hair wider and would mean none of the stock mount was in tact. This ...

Mounting the Motor

The motor arrived on the pallet with a number of extra goodies. The plus side to calling around to lots of different yards meant in the end I found one that wasn't interested and nickle and diming every piece. They basically asked what I would like and they tossed it all in ...

I feel the best way to concisely catch the project up will be focus each post on a specific section of my build.

Assess what I have and my Plan

With the car home I actually started by fixing the motor it had. I wanted to be able to drive it while I decided on what I would be building. But idle ...

Thank you so much. I have been trying to find these for longer than I care to admit and searches rarely turn up useful info

I will be catching up with the project here but I have posted it on Hondatech and diy electric. Or every day or so I will compile a more concise post here

I have done a number of searches but haven't turned up an answer on this. Does anybody know what connector tesla uses at the inverter input

The furthest I have gotten is that the left half appears to be an AMP+ IPT however AMP terminates it in a ring terminal ...

Hello. My name is Martin I am located on Vancouver Island and 9 months into my first EV conversion. I have posted this elsewhere as well, but as many people only visit certain sites I thought I would post a more condensed version of my build here for people to see, comment on and perhaps even learn ...
