This is my first build. Here is what I have planned.
Vehicle- 1980 300CD w123 body
Motor- tesla large drive unit in the rear replacing the dif, keeping the stock independent suspension, custom axles to mate to stock hubs
Batteries- 2 full volt packs
Charger- Volt
DC DC conv- Volt
Motor controller- I was going to order EVBMW but they are out of stock, might go with 057 or stealth ev instead
Charger and DCDC controller- thunderstruck EVCC
Bat heater- Volt
Coolant pump- Volt
Coolant valve (if needed)- Volt
Electric Vac pump- not sure
Electric PS pump- not sure
my only ? thus far is the BMS controller. I have a full Chevy Volt BMS with the pack but can't find anyone who makes a CAN that will interpret and send info to the EVCC. Any suggestions are appreciated.
So far I bought a salvage Chevy volt at auction for $2500 and have taken all the components and wiring harness off (as well as lots of other Volt parts). The battery tests good, full voltage. Working on making a test board with all the charging and 12V components to get that working before ordering the motor.
I have a full auto mechanic shop, metal working tools etc. Good at wiring, not savy at coding/CAN (yet?).
