I’m in the process of installing the EV West kit on an AC50. Would you mind letting me know what torque you used on the flywheel bolts? Thanks so much!
Electric motor armature shafts are usually not rated for much of a thrust load. I wonder if the roller bearings in the electric motor have a high enough thrust rating for the thrust applied when the clutch is applied and released.
They seem to do very well before the hyper 9 the net gain Warp 9 was popular they all went together the same way and bearing failure is rare even after many years, see my TH-cam
@demotors070161 is there a thrust bearing built into the hyper9? I imagine there will be some axial force when depressing the clutch, and I don't see any thrust bearings externally in the set up. Wondering if this has been an issue for you and this build at all?
1:30 You damaged the bearings hammering the shaft. NEVER EVER use a hammer on bearings. The inner and outer rings get markings (damage) of the balls by the axial force applied.
Ok, I've busted two pieces of all thread trying to get my adapter on. It seems to start straight, but gets really tights and I'm not anywhere close to the spacer. Are there any other tips or tricks to get that adapter on? Not sure where to go next. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
@@PatrickFitzgerald-ge2hw I didn't solve it yet, although I did find that the groove for the key was not clean and had to be filed for the key to fit correctly. Going to try again this weekend with heat. If that doesn't work I'm going to see about having it pressed in by a machine shop. Hope you have better luck.
لو سمحت حضرتك لو جبنا بطاريه وجبن محرك صغير بتشتغل ب 12 فولت وركبنا دينامو مولد كهرباء 220 وجبنه الماتور مسابقه موتور 7 حصان وركبناه بتشتغل عربيه كويسه بدل ما حضرتك حاطط 12 بطاريه يا ريت ممكن يرد علي هل الكلام ده ينفع ولا ما ينفعش

I HAVE A VW BUG, HOW MUCH DOES THAT ELECTRIC MOTOR AND ACCESORIES (BATTERY AND OTHER COMPONENTS) COST TO MAKE A COMPLETE INSTALLATION ON MY CAR, THANKS
Too much to be a cool way to get a old bug with no engine back on the road because buying a new engine is cheaper. You could probably buy a new engine and trans for the price of the EV motor.
I really don't think that output shaft adapter needs to fit that tightly on the motor shaft. I've worked with all sorts of industrial couplings (which is essentially what that is) and they just slide on.
"Chucks Garage" Usually electric motor couplings only have to transmit rotational torque through them. They typically use a Lovejoy coupler to take care of minor alignment issues. That adapter will also see the rotational load and any imbalance of the clutch and flywheel, and the thrust load from the throw-out bearing when applying the clutch. IMO it needs to be an interference fit.
You're missing the point: ease of conversion. It's literally just a motor swap. Nothing I'd do to ruin the value of a classic car, but you do you. Heck, you can even get a couple of hundred bucks for the old engine to offset the multiple $1000s of dollars for the EV motor kit + batteries! 🙄
I almost bought one of them it was like 500 horsepower capable or something like that I started doing math on the battery pack that would take the run it at that point you might as well just buy a Tesla
Why does this swap use flywheel and clutch?

And reverse too
A conventional clutch with an aluminium alloy flywheel sounds like a recipe for a rather short life.
The power of electric engine is?
@@andro7137
No need to use the clutch though, so possibly will not slip.
I think this channel is way ahead of where we will be in a few years. The conversion industry will be a beast of its own. Great content.
😂
Gave us like 30 seconds of the most satisfying bit at the end!
"Karmann Electra". Too funny! And thanks for baring it all in your video!
Carmen Electra!! 😄👍
its amazing intersting hopefully you have more video like that
If you heat the hub in an oven it will slide right on. Interference fit is a pain no matter how you do it.
That is a very neat installation.
Very nice, but administrations here in Europe are doing donkey to certificate this absolute excellent reconversions.
No blowtorch and hammer, much better then some other builders 🙂

What about all of the various kit cars which were built on the VW bug platform?
is that a standard vw clutch if so 200mm or 180mm ..cheers
How much for the kit in the usa
do you have to measure the distance between the bell housing adapter and make it equal to the original motor bell housing?
I WISH YOU SUCCESS 👍😍🥰
Saw electric conversion VW bug back in 1978 in San Francisco. I guess this has been around quite awhile.
That might have been one of Mike Brown conversion kits, he started back then

Where did you get the motor? Off from the recycled EV or bought new from the manufactures?
How much does this cost and where can i get it
40.000€
@@thomasschafer7268 damn. May as well buy a modern even. That's unfortunate
What can I say about the Hyper9 engine, you can customize any car. Even they can build electric go-karts.😁
It’s super versatile
you can also make Mustang 2005 v6 electric like that
I wanna know if this can be done to my 1998 Honda Prelude though
so how much range does this have? or is it just for city driving
Interesting concept. But what's with the Audio? Voice is extremely soft then the rift comes in at Max volume.
I would love to have an EV Karmann Ghia. I would also like to have an EV Nash Metro.
We're can I buy this kit..

He seems clever, but not intelligent.

I have this same problem. It is about 80% on, but I’m crushing all thread trying to get that last 1/2 inch. Did you solve it?

Curious about the the cost moving to electric if you don't do it yourself..... a guesstimate would be appreciated.

Stupidly expensive.
Total cost of conversion?
Can you put links to where you purchased your parts
Flash Drive Motors can help sourcing
why couldn't that same setup fit flipped around & mid mounted in a 914 in front of a 5 speed?
It would work the same way!
Nice video but the music was WAY TO LOAD and annoying.

Hello sir please can you convert my 2009 Range Rover sport to ev 300 mile per full charge ?
I love my car I don’t want to let it go
We have a range Rover in the shop right now that was converted who is a hyper 9 motor, go to my TH-cam.

He could have heater the adapter then it would have slipped on to the motor shaft. That's the way I did it with my Hyper9 motor and it worked well.

СЦЕПЛЕНИЕ на електрокар ЗАЧЕМ ?? или у него там все передачи ФОРСИРОВАНИЕ ???
You could make the assembly much easier by put the motor straight up: better view better results.
What's with the dam music?
😜
😢😢😢😢😢 noooooooo! 😢😢😢😢😢 noooooo 😢😢😢
I’d love to see the transmission just bypassed completely. Unnecessary complexity and failure point in an EV.
🤦♂️
No !
😂😅😂 electric cars 😂😅😂
What junk... EV's don't need a clutch, gears or even a diff.
And can it even perform better than a good 1600?

Show it running.
