Check this out. My mate is doing electric conversions and he just sent me this clip.

They're using WARP electric motors. I dont know a whole lot about it, but he reckons they had this one up to 90kph. Will go faster with more batteries/larger motor.

If anyone is interested, let me know, and i'll put you in touch with him.

that's mad. I wonder how quick it feels compared to the stock turbo, how fast it accelerates, how many ks he gets etc

he tells me its pretty quick off the mark.

theres larger variants of these motors that theoretically put out 2000hp :laugh:

At current technology levels, I can't imagine a 2000hp electric engine plus all the batteries required to run it would be of a practical size and weight for a road car... But someone should do it anyway!

why only a 6V system? i was reading about a 12 second 180SX that was electric too... i've read it a few times since, i love this sorta stuff

oh and btw, still FWD?

Edited by VB-
It's not the power that makes it feel fast it's the fact that you have 100 percent of the torque availible right from the get go.

This man knows.

There was a doco on telly not to long ago about guys in america running Setups good for 400 miles and 12 second quarters. I remember the VSD and a picture of a spitfire on it, if that helps anyone :happy:

Was quiet an outlay but hey, power is cheaper then fuel!

yeah its FWD

it's not a 6volt system, it's 144volt dc

there are 24 batteries that make up 144volt

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
