When I read your post about the plans for your car I instantly thought "Yeah, that's not gonna happen, this car will probably sit forever". Then I scrolled down....justindanger.com

Thanks guys. I am a Mechanical Engineering student at the U of A. I have one more final and one more year then I can finally start learning stuff!
I got a lot more done on the voltsporsche and got a shipment of the new controller components. The new controller is programmable up to 160v and 1000amps, which is the bottom of the line for WarpDrive Industrial controllers, but It is also upgradable to 1400a and 260volts! Also, its made in Utah! For now I will detune it to 500amps, so we don't fry the motor or the 2/0 cable! It's water cooled, has two canBUS ports, and uses and OEM Prius hall-effect TPS. I need to now rewire the controller, build a linkage for the new TPS, and design a hall effect tach sensor that will emulater the aircooled motor's tach signal(so I can use the stock tach). I also need to build the rock gaurd over the heat exchanger
Heat Exchanger
Tiny Coolant Pump

Got some of the wiring sorted and took a little trip to my local substation! TONS of torque and lots of fun to drive with the stiffer springs and torsion bars. I actually am afraid Im going to blow that 901 trans. Perhaps when we get a second motor and pump more amps, we'll get a 930 4-speed! When that happens, this gal is getting 10" slicks and fender flares. I keep blowing the 10 Amp fuse for the DC-DC converter(the component that equalizes the 144v powepack with the 12v aux battery that powered lights, fans, and the pump). So I'm going to have to figure that out.

Thanks guys! I'm going to spend the next few days cleaning the shop after the whirlwind of getting the car running. Now I have tons of space to work on the SIMCA and the CNC router. My mom made up some quick plaid seat covers with a cushion, because those EMPI plastic seats are really uncomfortable, especially with the car's spring rates that are 2-3 times more stiff.
My dads test drive. This has been his dream for the last 10 years, so it was good to see him behind the wheel.
Here is when I noticed the rear crossmember was twisted like a crazy straw from when he punched it. I have since added some supports on the crossmember to help with the crazy instant torque of this motor.

awesome stuff man nice to see its progressing
Hows the torque lol gotta love that instant twisting power
and in case you are interested in other ppls electric conversions heres a toyota sera (on toymods need membership to view)

Why thank you! I am always hard on myself for ghetto rigging just to see if the thing works, and then never coming back around to fix it. I think I'm getting a little better at planning ahead.Originally posted by Charllie View Post
