yes it works! my leaf has now been updated as well and the power is nice!! thanks again Dala!! let's see what comes next :-)
So happy to hear that you were able to follow the crude instruction video! Congratulations on the newfound power 🥳🤩👍
The video is truly inspirational! This is just like back in the 80s when people declared the days of hot rodding over when manufacturers started to mass-adopt fuel injection. It ended up being completely false and performance hot rodding reached new heights. With a new era of hacking the components upon us, the desire to build something unique and special in the garage is not going away time soon. The quotable quote of the year might be "Wooaahhh!!"
Completely agree! 😁

I laughed so hard at Dala when he hit the “gas” and said “WOOOAAAHHHH!!!!” That was so funny!
Now I have to upgrade my battery and inverter and learn coding for my LEAF. 😂😅😭
Your willingness to go where most are too scared is amazing! You are truly the leader in ev modifications. Thank you for letting us join you on this journey.
Like the Wow after u started the first time with 110kw❤😂
It was such a pleasant surprise 😅
That Wow 😲 on camera came through my headphones like WOWWwwww 🤣🤙 we all knew you were having fun!!!! Can't wait to tackle this upgrade myself ☺️👍
After I reconnected the second bank of battery in the trunk to bypass the current sensor, my speed was also increased. But I have no way to measure other than the smile on my face.
Thank you for the update.
Thanks for sharing your code for free.
Dala, you are a legend for tackling this. Well done . I only hope I can find a suitable wreck here in Australia. They are rare. Thanks again.
This is really cool. Tuning without a mechanical workshop!!!
Thanks Dale, I plan on buying a used LEAF as my first EV. Then an upgrade as you have shown is very appealing.
headsup, its Dala, not Dale hehe
Like SpaceX landings this doesn't surprise me anymore. But Amazes each time. Awesome work! I bet you can increase the max speed as well now. ;-)
This is awesome! I want to see more of this with other EVs.
Hey! Thank you for this fantastic video!👍👍👍
Good afternoon my friend! Very nice! Very impressive! So much inspiration! Wow !
Battery cooling upgrade!
Amazing, congratulations
YOU're Awesome! and welcome.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED This!!! AMAZING ^.^
Nice one Dala.
Wow, well done 👏
I love the canbridge mount location, will have to that in the future instead of stuffing it into the firewall area.
Me too! I'll add some installation pictures to the github page soon!
5:48 Best Part XDDD
Real Ev man!!!
very cool! I was feeling pleased with myself replacing a subframe on my car today but now compared to this.....🤣🤣
Changing a subframe is no easy task, well done 🙌
I've been waiting for someone to do a custom tune,they're so much like rc cars when you swap the speed controller and gearing
Yes! Great job, man! Loved it. Keep tinkering.
I drive 2012 ze0 leaf for now. Plan to replace it with aze0 2013-2017 leaf. Main problem - can't do much with it. Then i plan to replace 24 kWh bat 🦇 with 40. Might do an invereter replacement then as well.
Yeah unfortunately the AZE0 has tons more options! 😅
You should put að “Danger to manifold” screensaver on your laptop when you have it in the car
Hello just looking yours canal I have to buy same older lief and I love your way of thinking👍
Thanks for watching 🙌
Awesome!!!!!
Can’t wait!
Great!!
This is great news!!!! Finally a modified EV... would Love to see more videos or this car against another Leaf to really show the difference. I'll be putting these videos on my website if that's ok and mention it on my Channel ;0)
It would be fun to race it against a stock 40kWh/110kW ZE1 LEAF and see if there's any differences!
@@DalasEVRepair i would love to cover that if i was more local. It would make great viewing and massively impact your channel in a positive way. 👍⚡💪
5:55 for the acceleration test
I think i need to look for inverter)))
"Whoa! holy shit!" 🤣🤣🤣
Nice work!
:0 AMAZING!
I've modded every car I've ever had, so being able to do the Leaf is a real game changer - WELL DONE!!
Would you need to get the inverter swapped in a 2016 30kWh Leaf (from Japan), or could you just do the code swap once its available in LeafSpy?
Start looking for ZE1 inverters now! 30kWh is enough to sustain the 110kW inverter :)
sweet!
Just seen this Dala - awesome work. As I am controlling the inverter with my own code this should be a basic lift and swap in my EV! And upgrade the fuse - but that is easily accessible in the boot now! Good work
Absolutely, thanks!
Hi, you are the best :)
Amazing, many thanks for sharing - anything for me, to extend the RANGE? Thanks !
Upgrade to bigger battery. See my other videos.
Great success, Dala. I was wondering how this upgrade affects the differential gear. Do they all (gearboxes) have the same design and material for the different power?
Should be the same, atleast the look exactly the same. I have two 2018+ reduction gears in the workshop, but I don't feel the need to tear it down and compare. It's only a single gear, and quite a big one!
lol amazing work! Now you are making me want to buy a leaf!!! ... i'll just keep my "fire episode" Chevy bolt 🤣 OH... and i saw windows 11! 🤓
Free battery recall soon maybe? 😅
This video should inspire someone with a '16 or '17 car that's had the battery replaced under warranty. Since Nissan has no more 30 KWH packs, they'd have the perfect platform to do an inverter swap. I will be keeping my eyes open for one of these cars, but currently the market's prices are so inflated, it's going to have to wait.
I call it the Electric Pinto...or the Chevy SI (Self Immolator)
Eco Mode the best :-)
This guy makes me feel dumb 🤣 I watched this video with my mouth hanging open 🤪
Hi Dala, Thank you for all you have taken time to work out for the Leaf owners that are nearing the clear need to upgrade/replace the battery. I have a 2013 Leaf, and my battery is at 7 but will soon drop to 6. When I drive carefully, I can still squeeze 48-49 miles. Are you aware of any shops that can do a quality upgrade in Southern California? I recently learned about QCCharge in Vista, and have asked for a quote to get a 64kWh pack put in. They haven't responded yet (holidays), but I'm very hopeful. Do YOU have any advice? Cheers! Wesley
Sorry only familiar with EU. Good luck!
Fan va häftigt. This is really cool. I almost start thinking about getting a project of my own?
Det tycker jag med! Vi behöver mera trimmade elbilar för att visa att tuner kulturen inte kommer att dö med elrevolutionen!
I need to know the link for the double din dash plate you have I need that and the wires to make it work
Круто!
Спасибо за просмотр!
Дала,какая магнитолу можно установить вместо штатной,на максимальной комплектации листа?есть ли такие в природе?
Impressive work. The 0-100 isn't that impressive but I bet it feels mad 🤯 A rolling start to 50kmh would be a great figure to compare, maybe 5-50kmh?
Just wait til I get my hands on the 160kW inverter ;)
@@DalasEVRepair Have you determined the current limit of the 40 KWH pack? I remember you mentioning that the 24 KWH packs are limited in what they can supply via a fuse in the pack. It would be very interesting to see what the 40 KWH pack is capable of when coupled with the 160 KW inverter.
I'll find out soon 😁 the fuse derating is quite lenient if you only do short peaks above the rated A
I need to tune the car for fleet use so I don't want the car to go over 50 miles per hr speeds. I am sure that is easy but it would need to be programed first. Any ideas ?
Bumping this for attention. I’d really like to see this issue addressed.
Valet mode?
I wonder what I can get out of my ZE1 SL+ 62kwh?!?!!?
😮❤
Я правильно понял,тут всё в авто стандартное,только манипуляции с прошивкой?
Hi Dale I've a nissan leaf 2017 what do I need for an upgrade cheers love your work 👍
Check the link in the description to Github!
Github ? Thanks @@DalasEVRepair
Hi. I have Leaf 1 2013 from the USA. How can I change the energy consumption display from km/kWh to kWh/100km?
Not available on all models!
What about the 160kw inverter?
Rename this cannel to "Dalas sportpower garage"
Lol. Make 2 motors 4wd. Is realy fast
Cool stuff. Can you just change the inverter and keep the stock motor? What happens to regen does it increase also?
Yes that is precisely what I did in part 1! Regen can be increased with the software!
@@DalasEVRepair I'd love to have more regen. nice find
All cars from 2013-2022 have the same EM57 motor. It's the electronics and battery that matter - it's all about getting more current to the motor - the motor in the LEAF can handle more than even 160 KW, but you'd need to go to custom inverters. I suspect that with a front wheel drive LEAF that 160 KW would be so difficult to get power to the ground that you wouldn't really want more.
Just found this vid, loving it 😁 Does the new inverter fit in the old inverters case or is it just using the plugs? Are you working on a plug and play kit for us that don't understand the technical bit? 😁😂
@@skydog7544 No there's not enough financial incentive to develop anything. With these videos anyone should be able to accomplish this!
Have you noticed much difference to the range yet? Or the heat of the motor? 🤔⚡💪
It weighs less so should result in more range 😅
Great work Dala! But did You test the setup without resolver coding? I'm asking this because this offset in the nissan system does not make any sense with my results, they are identical with and without writing the resolver offset, mainly because the rotor of the resolver is not mechanically adjustable and the stator is fixed in place too, so why bother?
I had a difference of 10 in the offset, so I would have probably been fine without writing in the new one. But if you have a diff of say 128, I'd really want the proper offset, otherwise you're gonna get higher consumption due to wrong timing!
@@DalasEVRepair But did You tested the wrong offset vs right offset? I've got difference in one motor+inverter combo almost 100 (96 exactly) and had no problem whatsoever. Absolutely identical consumption with the right offset. Try it out)
@@DalasEVRepair and of course Kiitos!)
@@DalasEVRepair Yep, today I've tested many combinations of resolver offset and found that the motor can work quite noisy when the offset is wrong, and yes, consumption can be a little higher. But the worst of all is noise. It can be very loud when the offset difference with the right one is more than 50...
Where can I get a screen like on the car? I'm from Jordan
Android headunit replacement, ebay :)
Wait... @4:01 your GPS race timer said you did a 1/4 mile in 10 seconds? How are you doing that with 9.6second 0-60mph/100kmh?
He is isnt. Impossible to achieve. The equipment wasnt zero:ed/calibrated/glitched.
A guy in Odessa, Ukraine offered a software upgrade so aze0 leaf can do a better recuperation, up to 40 kw instead of standard 30 kw. Do you know anything about this upgrade?
Nope
Hi Dala , do u know if leafspy has updated so we can write resolver codes ?
Send a message to the developer to speed it up 😉
круто ты это придумал !! Спасибо за энтузиазм !! сам лифовод 5+ лет на 24кв. Собираюсь ставить 30ку в феврале. 30ка потянет такое???))))
Красиво, удачи в обновлении! )
Wow. Thats crazy.
But how will the battery react? A lot of heat?
I have a 40kWh pack installed, so no issues 😁
@@DalasEVRepair ohh... But didn't u put in a 30Kwh first? :O
But now, with the 160Kw inverter. How much hp du think u can get? :)
Cause u got 125Kw from a 110Kw inverter :)
So can you tell me a good replacement for the horrible in dash screen. Just need CarPlay.
I use the Atoto A6
@@DalasEVRepair Thanks. What wiring harness do you use or does one have to hack one together from scratch.
@@JacanaProductions mynissanleaf.com has guides for stereo replacement!
you should lower it by a few centimeters and remove some weight of the car
Lowering would be cool, but I live in a place where the roads have massive potholes...
@@DalasEVRepair oh, you could prob put like bag suspension so when on the track you can have it lowered and when your on regular road could have it regular hight
What software is running on the infotainment system?
Atoto Android Headunit, running Leafspy Pro
where would i get a cambrige?
Github has links: github.com/dalathegreat/Nissan-LEAF-Battery-Upgrade#getting-the-hardware
@mjk said "I bet you can increase the max speed now ..."
But that has me wondering, it's gotta be a software limitation right?
Yes, the instrumentation cluster interprets the ABS signals, and outputs a km/h output. If this is too high, then it starts to limit power. So to get higher max speed, tweak the cluster signals!
@@DalasEVRepair nice! I guess the other question is why they did this in the first place, maybe a power or stability thing..? Anyway, good to know it's possible!
What Battery did you use
40kWh, but this works with the 24kWh also!
I was wondering, how did I you get apple CarPlay onto your LEAF?
Entire stereo has been replaced by an Android headunit. Only works on S-model without navi
@@DalasEVRepair congratulations on your new job. I was wondering will you have the time to do a video about it?
@@anthonycraig274 Some cool stuff coming this christmas ;)
Is this the 40 kw battery?
Yes! Should also work with 30kWh packs, 24kWh is a bit on the edge, risk burning fuses!

eGolf tune down the line?🥵
If someone drops their egolf here for experimenting, sure :D
Is this upgrade compatible with 2012 Leaf?
Sadly not "Q: Why doesn't this work on my 2011-2012 LEAF? A: The early leaf has EM61 motors. These aren't compatible with the EM57 inverter style."
@@DalasEVRepair Sadly 😔
4:20 the VCM is located there? Is it replaceable by a user?
I ask for a friend 😒
Behind the glovebox yes!
@@DalasEVRepair Thanks I am seeking for a Leaf here in north Italy, they are pretty rare.
Now I see a 24KW and a 30KW at respectively 8k and 10k euros (2016). 🤔
The difference worth it?
Maybe a 24KWh battery exclude the car from any tuning option?
I would like to create this year a "ZE0 RC inspired" with appropriate coilovers/suspension and a bit more acceleration. After all the mighty ZE0 Nismo RC was based o the 24KWh version... it's lighter
@@jolladevices Go for a 2013+ so you can install 110kW or 160kW inverters. Nismo VCM does not increase power, it only remaps throttle feel. Only way to really tune these cars is with Inverter swaps. 24kWh should handle more power, I've seen russian 2x80kW builds, so 160kW seems doable even with smallest battery.
@@DalasEVRepair OK I am more for the lightest s4KW 2015/16.
Did you ever dive into the VCM? It's very closed source?
Time to change front wheels eh?
When we go for 160kW, Yes! 😅
What's the 0 to 60 time!

saako sen 160kw jos laittaa 62kwh invertterin
Kyllä! En tiedä jos sulakeet kestää 😅
Remember you are voiding your insurance if you fail to tell them of such modifications.
Carefully that little gearbox in leaf IS piece of trash... Even if u pushin hard with štandard . Can last only 100k km
Worried about that, whats wrong with them, just needs service or ?
@@jestronixhanderson9898 they not last long in 2 tones car especailly with some extra power :D, similar to nissan micra when is pullin caravan 160000 km :D
whaat??? mine is pushed hard from 0km's and now its 250k - oil is clean as new. changed every 30k
Я правильно понял,тут всё в авто стандартное,только манипуляции с прошивкой?
At 7:21 battery upgrade from 24kWh to 49kWh and newer version of inverter with higher maximum output (from later version of Leaf). Add can bridge designed by Dala. ☮️
