ok, thanks for your info.
So, as a beginner, would you recommend the leaf motor?

Hello, I made a post in the Nissan forum a while ago.
As a total newbie, I had to read up on it first.

I'm constantly hesitating between the Nissan and BMW engines when making my decision. I have the feeling that the parts from a BMW i3 are cheaper in Germany.

It's a hobby project and I don't ...

Ok, I've read a lot over the past few days and looked around the market for the necessary parts.

I haven't been able to answer one question. I did not find a post in which two Leaf motors were installed. I would be interested in trying that out and testing it in real life.
Is it better to use two ...

yes, i will keep looking at the wiki. So far I haven't been able to read everything.
I noticed that some guys use the bmw i3 charger. I would be interested what advantage has the i3 Charger over the Leaf charger.

That's a good idea. As a newbie I didn't think of it.
It's good if I get information from the experts here.

Maybe you can answer my question about the charger?

Thanks, but with a little thought I should have figured it out myself.

I made an offer to a seller for an EM57 motor, inverter and electronics. Let's see what he says about it.

Now I'm looking at the battery. Which cheap OEM battery can you recommend?

Some use the BMW i3 charging unit. Does it ...

I mean what do the letters VCU stand for.

I think I can get the motors with inverters cheaper. I will look around.
What does the abbreviation VCU mean?
What do you think, which battery size is good for me?

How did you get to USD$20k ? I haven't set a budget yet. My first calculation of the parts I need is less than 20k. at the moment i'm still collecting information and looking for the right car.

300 hp per engine and way too much. How did the owner do that? How much kw does its inverter have?

I think the best variant for me is with two leaf motors (front and rear) and at first without a gearbox. I want to see how the car behaves. if the result not good, i can still buy two gearboxes. so i ...

I don't think it makes sense to use two motors on one axle. Then it would be better to use a larger motor on the axle.

I would like to continue to one engine in front and one in the back. The question is, is the power of the leaf motor enough or do i have to look for anotherone.

What car is it? Maybe there are already examples of conversion.


I would like a BMW e39 or, even more excitingly, an e53. The car offers a lot of space. I know both models very well. I've already worked on it a lot and know the systems.
I haven't seen an e53 project yet. But I saw the e39 ...

Ok, slow acceleration is not a good thing. Mostly i drive in stop & go and top speed is not important. But it is nice to have. :evil:
From this point of view, a transmission makes sense.

The ratio of the differential of 3: 1 not enough? Nobody speaks of a 1:1 translation. The torque is applied ...

Why does everyone wants to power their motor directly to the wheels? It is just not a good solution.
I have observed inwheel motor from Elaphe which could make 1300Nm torque directly to the wheel. It was wound for a lot of pole pairs and it could only do about 2000RPM. Nontheless you can ...

Oh, it was a few years ago when I went to school. I multiplied the value by the radius, not the diameter. 250 km/h is more than enough and corresponds to the standard speed with a gasoline engine.

Has anyone in the forum already used two leaf motors in a car?

I have not yet found the dimensions ...

Ok, the first version is not supported by the Open Inverter Controller? I can't find a suitable item in the shop.
The controller for the 2nd generation increases the output to 135kW. Can this performance also be achieved with the first generation?
80kW is not enough for the weight of the vehicle ...

Hello,
I'm new to the forum and have some questions about the Nissan Leaf engine.
I've seen motors connected directly to the inverter. But on ebay I also see motors with a long orange high-voltage cable. do they have the same engines?

For reasons of space, I would prefer to install the motor and ...
