Or what do we need to do in order to remedy this?

Do you have a picture of what the rear axle looks like currently?
I can't really see it in the picture of the back. May help think of different ideas. I was thinking 2 motors if it's split..

Re: Converting my dump truck

What about looking at truck e-axles? I'm not sure theres much of a market yet but i think this may be your best bet to having something strong and reliable. The LDUs are powerful but not what I'd consider to be reliable. You may be able to adapt their inverter or another inverter to the eaxle.

Re: [DRIVING] VW Touran powered by Nissan Leaf [FINISHED]


That's the thing, quite a lot. Not so much off-throttle but brake blending regen up to 40% of acceleration torque.


This is my second best guess as to what may have caused this. Any idea how much 40% regen deceleration is vs the ice engine braking? Seems like it would be maybe 2x or more.

Is 25 ...

Synchros are very likely bronze, / brass, so a bronze / gold color. Some glitter is normal on a high mileage transmission.
Bearing bits are chrome / shiny / dark. Gears are too.

Re: Converting my dump truck

That's a massive amount of weight to move compared to the donor vehicle, 4x without a load. I'd expect keeping the motor cool will be a big issue. It's a lot of long term stress on the drivetrain too. Just things to consider while planning.

It will be an excellent stress test for people using these ...

Re: [Driving] Porsche eBoxster 986

A few steady throttle position step logs might also help see what's going on. Like 5, 10, 15, 25, 35, 50% etc. But hold each for 1/4 second or so.

And to uhi's point, are connections good? Bad crimps can be easy to miss.

Re: Ford Eluminator- have you got yours working?

You also need a way to achieve a decent gear ratio. Getting the power to the wheels means some differential and possibly a secondary reduction to get closer to 8:1 (if that's ideal for your setup and goals.)

Is it possible there isn't enough plunge in the halfshafts and they're binding the differential bearings?
Seems like the differential bearings are shot. Likely something else caused their failure.
