I have a project coming up with a nissan leaf going into a landrover, anyone got adapter plate cad drawings ? and spline specs. Ive only just started the looking for parts, will use a RippleTech rippletech REV controller. but now looking at the mechanics.

Luck has it, I just started making the first initial batch of Landrover adapter plates.

working with a few folks on fitting the full leaf stack (motor, inverter, pdm) the pdm has some over hange so additional backspacing is needed. But with out pdm it’s simple.

I’m interested in this rippletech controler. It kind of looks like the resolve? Do you know if it has regen functionality?

Yes, regen is configurable on your mobile phone or laptop, no cables or software required.

Also max torque is also confurable on the rippletech REV controller. So great for when you want to avoid breaking axles and testing.

Probably a bit late, but imo the best options are

1. retain the transmission and transfer case
2. Direct mount the motor to the transfer case.

I did #2 with a different motor to an LT230. What I did for the torque tube was use a section of R380 housing and it worked well. I had a input shaft extension made by Novak adapters.

I never finished the conversion so can’t comment on how well it works other than it spun up to 9500 rpm during a test without the drive shafts connected without any vibrations, but I made a spreadsheet showing the final gear ratio based on available transfer case and differential gear set options and tire sizes.

Looks great, especially that input extension! I’m glad to see the LT230 can take 9500 rpm - wow, albeit without any load. Do you know the spec for the maximum input? I’ve been looking for but haven’t found anything? The Ashcroft gear/speed calculator seems top out at 5000? I hope you still intend to compete the project.

 

[cgalpin]

I honestly don’t know the specs. I’d need to get to the high 5ks to get my max desired speed. No going back now though - at least not with this setup

I do plan to finish it, but it’s been stalled for about 8 years now. Life and other projects keep getting in the way.

Lots of great info here, taking notes for my 98 Disco and my 77 Series III 88
