Any idea how much torque a 'typical' turbocharger turbine makes? Since you might be getting wheels machined maybe you should look into different wheel geometry since it seems like the electric motor's torque is higher that that of the turbine, while RPM is somewhat lower. If that is true then...

That's good news! What is the longest that turbo could run continuously before the battery overheats though, in other words what would be it's duty cycle? From using a Li-ion powered drill i noticed that battery overheating as well as speed controller overheating are major issues, especially if...

Found this 48V Li-ion battery: http://www.lithiumion-batteries.com/products/48-volt-lithium-batteries/48v-100ah-lithium-ion-battery.php They say it can provide up to 400A continuous or 1000A burst. While it is not cheap (about $5000) it is not that heavy at 120 lbs and can be charged quickly at...

The latest video, was the motor in it's water cooling jacket? And if so how hot did that water get?

Found this on the back of a K&N filter package. Looks like a 2G Talon:

Check all of the wires coming to/from battery and alternator. Check all grounds as well. Make sure no insulation is damaged and all screws/clamps/connectors are clean and tight.

Even U-haul's smallest box trailer is plenty long to fit a 60" (5') hatch if it is loaded diagonally through the door, as mentioned above.

Some shops have tire changers that never actually touch the wheel with tire tools. If you are doing it yourself or your local shop has no such machine you can get some clear 3/4" hose from your local hardware store and cut one side of it length-wise. Now you have a cover that can go on the lip...

http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/6-speed-transmission.358697/Basically it would be easier to swap gears to a different ratio on the 5th gear than it would be to fit a 6-speed in there.

Could you not shorten the tap so it would fit? Would be easier than dropping the motor.

I see plenty of cars here, no meat though :(Sorry, just had to say that :)

Instead of spending $50 on that backing go to your local home improvement store and get 3 rolls of stick-back flashing. All that is is thick aluminum foil with really sticky gummy glue on one side. Now since the carpet would be out for cleaning/replacement anyways go ahead and stick that...

If those flares turn out good just reverse the model and 3D print some molds. Then use fiberglass to make more flares. To turn a 3D print into a mold you simply need to coat it's inside surface with gel coat. After that use it as if it was a regular fiberglass mold, just make sure to keep it...

What were your reasons for the upgrade?
