Check this out. My mate is doing electric conversions and he just sent me this clip.

They're using WARP electric motors. I dont know a whole lot about it, but he reckons they had this one up to 90kph. Will go faster with more batteries/larger motor.

If anyone is interested, let me know, and i'll put you in touch with him.

that's mad. I wonder how quick it feels compared to the stock turbo, how fast it accelerates, how many ks he gets etc

he tells me its pretty quick off the mark.

theres larger variants of these motors that theoretically put out 2000hp :laugh:

At current technology levels, I can't imagine a 2000hp electric engine plus all the batteries required to run it would be of a practical size and weight for a road car... But someone should do it anyway!

why only a 6V system? i was reading about a 12 second 180SX that was electric too... i've read it a few times since, i love this sorta stuff

oh and btw, still FWD?

Edited by VB-
It's not the power that makes it feel fast it's the fact that you have 100 percent of the torque availible right from the get go.

This man knows.

There was a doco on telly not to long ago about guys in america running Setups good for 400 miles and 12 second quarters. I remember the VSD and a picture of a spitfire on it, if that helps anyone :happy:

Was quiet an outlay but hey, power is cheaper then fuel!

yeah its FWD

it's not a 6volt system, it's 144volt dc

there are 24 batteries that make up 144volt

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
