    I've had this thought for awhile and ever since. I saw what the motor looks like I wondered how it would work and. If anyone's ever done it. So hybrids have their motors in their transmissions, or some of them do. Like the Prius or the Lexus GS350hor GS400h. I know Damien Maguire tested the...

    I'm posting this to save others from my pain. I have a Ford Ranger that was converted back in 2007. It's 144 volt and had a series DC motor connected directly to the transmission. No clutch. Most of the time I drove in 2nd. I only need to shift to 3rd at speeds above 55mph. After 15 years of...

    After my father passed, we were cleaning out his storage locker and came across this motor, mounting plate, and transmission. Motor (according to a google image search) is an FB1-4001, and the transmission is most likely from a Mazda MPV? It's heavy so it's not likely that I will be shipping...

    I’m wholeheartedly unfamiliar with E-conversions, but I own a mobile auto repair service and am intimately knowledgeable about the time and effort that most likely went into this and would like it to go somewhere it’s going to be used, otherwise it’s going as a core. This was given to me by a...

    I've been wanting to convert my 1982 corvette to electric for a while but all of the information that I have found thus far has either been on manual transmissions or doesn't go into detail when it comes to converting automatics. I was just wondering how different the process would be when...

    Good day all, I've been reading updates and projects for about a year here, I haven't really had much to contribute so I've stayed quiet. Now I could use some opinions, as I may have come across my pipe-dream project car, in my budget. I've been contemplating this build for years, going back...

    Hi all, So I've been working on converting a 914 porsche for almost a year now and I at last got my controller configured properly. I pressed down on the throttle and heard a clunking sound, which was a real step in the right direction because before I had just gotten an error message. To my...

    Hi all – I am considering converting a Formula 500 car from ICE to electric, for use in autocross. It would run in A-Mod class, minimum weight is 900 lbs. ICE-based weight is about 575 lbs and I am around 200 lbs. I am still figuring out the components, but simplicity is a virtue for me...

    Its been awhile since my last post, but i have been doing alot of research. One question which is hard to find an exact answer is How do i limit the RPM of a Series wound dc motor? If this is done through the controller, what controller can i use, or can all of them do this? Can only certain...

    This question is addressed to Evnetics, but every experience are welcome. I ponder on my next conversion and got a fundamental question: Would you recommend an automatic or a manual transmission for your Soliton Junior and Soliton 1?

    I've got a Chevy S10 with a 5 speed, and with almost 15000 miles in Wisconsin, its getting a little bit rusty. Its falling apart! Probably doesn't help that I go really fast. And I drive on the salty roads cause my Prius gets only 45-50 mpg. Anyone want a Prius? I'm going to get a newer S10...

    i want to do a direct drive conversion for my Ev using either an 11" or a dual 9", depending on what i can fit in the car. i looked around and decided it it either had to be a transwarp from netgain, or a kostov motor that i would have to modify for direct drive use. i like the netgain, firstly...

    It's been awhile but I'm back for more help. If you're not familiar with my conversion, I'm using a 1986 Mazda RX7, an ADC FB1-4001 motor (I think that's the right model number...it's been awhile) and Electro Auto's transmission adapter kit. I'm FINALLY getting to put the motor in, after an...

    I have an 1989 ford ranger that was converted in 1996, by professionals. When I got it the control card was bad. I had it repaired but it still doesn't run. The truck has a dash display that should show error codes, but I have no errors. I think it is important that i learn how the auto tranny...
