Nissan Exa Electric Motor Conversion

[Munkyb0y]

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.

excellent!

i wanna see a cop pull him over, pop the hood and videotape the reaction...

WTF?!?!

[Modena]

Thats cool !!!

[MANWHORE]

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

[pablo101]

lol thats awesome, i used to have an exa, quick cars

he tells me its pretty quick off the mark.

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

[Mr. Keets]

Love it, the clip needed sound and dont say they dont make any check out Killacycle the quickest pass by an electric powered vehicle ever.

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.

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

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

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

Here is a link to a bookshop with a book about building electric cars...

Save the fishes

Has some other cool books too

yeah its FWD

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

there are 24 batteries that make up 144volt

[VB-]

yeah sorry, i meant like, why the 6 volt batteries, i've since read up and seen the benifits over the 12 batteries. would be alot mroe compact though with 12 12v batteries....

[MANWHORE]

Voltage is not what is key here. Power is what matters.
