EV West Electric Motor Accessory Plate Installation Video - Power Steering, Vacuum, AC Compressor

[@goutvols103]

Matt, without a doubt, the safety glasses stole the video.

[@HERCOBULYable]

It is one of the best this guys of the EV West. I am a disable person on a wheelchair and I have a Merc Class R , 4Matic, and I think to use the EV West engines with all that accessories. What we can say; Awesome.

[@ufopiloot]

I know nothing about cars or how they work but this is a very good tutorial. A couple more and I can start building my car myself.

[@gradytatum7415]

This "EV WEST" electric motors kit, is the best kit bar none. I haven't seen nor heard about another electric engine kit that comes with a full hookup for all your accessories, like the AC unit,Power steering pump, Power brakes, and after every unit have been installed you can barely hear the engine running when the engine has been engaged. Grady Tatum....

[@funeralhall2573]

This is over the top man! What A motor! THE WORLD NEEDS MORE INFO ON THIS MOTOR!

[@YipperX5]

Thank all the heavens for ev west! I cant wait for my swap!

[@CncObsession]

Incredibly simple implementation. Brilliant. The modular potential is evident. Going to look up your stock.

[@Hirthirthirt]

I love your stuff. That single-motor-setup you present here, would that motorize a 70's Caprice as strong as a typical 350/350engine-Combo?

[@derrickrobins9282]

Beautiful set up, it is just so clean. If you were running an open styled vehicle, say a VW rail buggy. You wouldn't need an A/C pump, so could you use that position on your mount for something else? Awesome video by the way.

[@travellerLINUX]

Well put together and constructed . Fine solution for the DIY car conversion

[@rexhepnikqi6148]

hi there how much is the twin motor SYSTEM DELIVERED TO SYDNEY AUSTRALIA. THANKS.

[@Engineerboy100]

Brilliant! Would have liked to see the actual mount location of the AC unit. Need to move the camera a bit. But great job!

[@kewintaylor7056]

Is its better to use separate electric motor for a/c.

[@salvadorw.empent2778]

Looks like a nice set up , what I can't understand is how would the power steering pump work when the motor is at lower rmps like when you're trying to park the vehicle. The AC compressor could continue to run while the car is at a standstill but you have to put the tranny in neutral and rev the motor up a little! 🤔

[@gremlinfred3]

good video. I liked the step by step introduction to the accessories plate. Good info. Thanks.

[@evanhunter2440]

This is awesome! Nice build and answers a lot of questions I had.

[@meadmaker4525]

That's a slick setup for those accessories. I was wondering how one would tackle adding them in an EV setup. Having said that, they only work if the motor is spinning, and the motor only spins when the car is in motion/under throttle. So, if you're in a parking space and need to maneuver the vehicle, you have no power steering, AC or power brakes, because you're essentially at a stand-still. Once the vehicle is moving at any speed above 5 mph, power steering becomes moot anyway. Might it not be better to have a smaller accessory motor that constantly runs when the car is on to power these accessories, so they're available regardless of whether or not the vehicle is in motion?

[@vjekoslavcvetnic7500]

That's why is now using electric power steering and not hydraulic power steering and today AC compressor is not driven by belt, then via small electric motor inside AC compressor. All hybrids today using small electric motor in AC compressor so that the AC can work when hybrid is switched to electric drive mode.

[@YipperX5]

The idea is to use the electric motor as a direct replacement for a budget swap. Ideally you would want to use electric units but these mechanical options are very efficient and it doesn't require that much power to run these motors at low rpm with low torque requirements. Its a give and take kind of solution. There are electric options but this is quite a bit cheaper and won't hurt your range too much more than using electric accessories would.

[@benjaminfifield8838]

You can hook these electric motors up to transmissions which then allows you to set a idle speed on the controller so the motor will idle like a car and run these when not moving

[@akeeperoftheword]

You guys are doing some incredible work, keep it up!

[@gamerepair2020]

A lot of you are correct this is a very nice setup it looks very nice but don't forget there is a massive amount of strain on that front bearing, you will be replacing that bearing in just a few years. I know this for a fact because I made the same setup with a warp 11 motor and the bearing started roaring within about two years. You're better off making those pumps electric and running them off of an alternator and 12-volt battery.

[@speed00774]

greetings, I want to ask how goes the engine and the whole kit and where I can buy it?

[@roberttsakiwa3286]

Hi is it available in south Africa and wich company .

[@hansrippe1814]

I have had just finished the engine of the engine & I have seen the ad !!

[@bruceleonard81]

Good video, great info and not long enough to snooze lol. I like what I see.

[@waynethefridgemanosborne8984]

fantastic peice of engineering. great work guys

[@EpicCarConversions]

That's my accessory plate!!! put it in a box & ship it over!!!

[@pramodlakayil]

Wow nice design and cool explanations👌

[@carbonatom6838]

Do you guys do hybrid conversions? I have an idea that I think has a strong potential that I will share. Think of 4wd pickups. They are all across the country and popular for great reasons, but not known for efficiency. I say, remove the v8 & put in a v6 with a 2wd style tranny. The rear wheels will stay gas powered. on the front axle, attach the electric motor, maybe with a multispeed transfer case. Use one of the ABS sensors to feed data to the electric motor control unit, so both ends spin at the same speed and maybe so the electric kicks in automatically is it senses loss of traction in the rear. Battery packs could be stuffed into the sides of the bed. I bet a lot of folks would get excited about that!

[@hondaguy9153]

Brian Genter Toyota did that years ago with the Highlander hybrid. Honda did it with the NSX.

[@rexhepnikqi6148]

hi there looks like a fantastic set up how much is the kit with /2/motors with that set up.

[@lookronjon]

After reading all the nitwits comments. It depends. This is a purely electric set up. There is no gasoline engine running it. I hear the comments about “ would not electric be better” this is electric! You don’t need AC compressor or power steering or vacuum pump while you’re sitting still you need your fan to blow through the evaporator to keep you cool. The electric motor that replaces the gasoline engine runs a belt that runs these accessories. Sitting still there is no need for this motor to run. Otherwise you would just be wasting battery power. Someone mentioned selling the RPM at 750. That is a waste of battery power. The second you put your foot on the Excelerator all these Accessories work as needed.

[@robviolin1]

Great vid - more people are going to covert their cars to all electric. Good job.

[@rommeldc4787]

Nice. I can say that is full conversion.

[@brizuelaluise]

Greetings, friend, first of all, thank you for your contribution. If the engine is going to have accessories attached, the engine at idle should be at 800 rpm, or when it is stopped, should it work at 800 rpm?

[@jbob6429]

If you are not on the accelerator will the AC or power steering still work?

[@hondaguy9153]

jesse ray as long as the motor is spinning they are working...so coasting, yes, accelerating/cruise, yes. At a stop you will lose AC and PS.

[@DavidS-iw4ei]

I would guess the tech sensor keeps the motor spinning at a low RPM like your gas engine does at idle.

[@hondaguy9153]

The motor is always coupled to your gear box so if it's spinning the car is moving or something is broken... Unless you have an auto trans with a torque converter, these belt driven accessories are silly, IMO.

[@DavidS-iw4ei]

I had a 50/50 guess.

[@alext9067]

I would run a aux motor to run the accessories. The car's loaded w/ batteries anyway.

[@tomswonderfulworld]

Sweet Matt, Excellent idea in a very nice looking and functional package.

[@MATT_96]

Hey, im planning to start an ev project next year, im looking for a setup that would be powerful enough to take it to the track. I was wondering what the cost of such a build would be?

[@monstirz]

How about buiding a QC pulse motor connected to a 48 v 10 s with 14 magnet Missouri wind and solar to charge the batteries with static and radiant energy?

[@albertlilo9906]

i can use this motor and pulley system in an Fiat 500 (2012)? and what kind os motor is? a Warp 9?

[@lrmodranoel]

Awsome video. You guys are really outstanding explanaing. Thanks

[@carbonatom6838]

It's nice that options are happening, but they are obviously imperfect. Electric assist power steering is one change I would make. I would also give up on aircon. For winter heat, I would get one of those instant hot water heaters from a home and have that in the dash. Those things are great.

[@jessco5015]

+Brian Genter Push in clutch. engage motor

[@b1denison]

Thanks, that was first of all the videos I have watched where accessories were even mentioned? I know with today’s modern cars that this is something that shouldn’t be excluded in a conversion. You have a source of supply for these, or are you the supplier?

[@robertviera2841]

una cosa es clara... solo necesitamos la batería del "terminator " todo lo demás ya lo tenemos casi resuelto

[@erikblomdahl]

This setup gives you powerstearing and so on, but onely when you drive. If not, what am I missing?

[@jessco5015]

+Erik Blomdahl Push in clutch, engage motor.

[@tcd-badchoices]

I think if your mated to an automatic transmission, then the motor runs slowly on stop and would turn off completely once you shut off the car. My thoughts.

[@brandont3912]

Don't forget to add the alternator, and change the voltage regulator in it to match the battery voltage.

[@mirnaandino9]

excelente vídeo, ya con ganas de iniciar la conversión de mis coches en Honduras

[@bonethugz357]

You would have to have a manual transmission with this and set it to never drop below 750 rpm even at a stop (clutch in or neutral). Is it normal for electric motors to have a shaft coming out the back for accessories or is that an extended shaft? shaft in the back for the trans to grab and shaft in the front for the accessory kit. I bet this kit cuts your battery life in half. a simple 12v vacuum pump that comes on when you hit the brakes seems way more efficient. I could see a kit that has multiple alternators attached rigged for 120+ volts (there is someone who did it on youtube).

[@COREYEIB1969]

Great content for a novice, thank you

[@TecnamTwin]

The drag on the drive train caused by the alternator would be greater than the power produced by the alternator making it an inefficient waste.

[@gceo]

This mounts on the other side of the motor, not affecting the transmission mounting. It only adds about 2 inches of length to the front side of the motor.

[@stevenpleasant5834]

Hi Matt real nice part I would like to know if you make adapter plates to bolt to transmissions and a transfer case for a 4x4 set up.

[@javiertovarperez2690]

HOLA BUEN DIA QUE PRECIO TIENE EL KIT COMPLETO PARA HACER LA CONVERSION DE UNA GRAND VOYAGER 1994 TRAE MOTOR 3.3 Y TRANSMISION AUTOMATICA Y LA TRANSMISION SEGUIRIA UTILIZANDOSE PARA LOS CAMBIOS Y LA REVERSA? ESTOY INTERESADO ESPERO RESPUESTA GRACIAS

[@jefferyboyd3246]

hi guys, can we have an alternator on this system as well??? Just asking, I hope its not a stupid question. I'm only learning your system. Its the most amazing object I've every seen. Thanks guys

[@DocWolph]

Vacuum pump for the brakes works fine without the motor or engine running for a few full pumps. But AC and hydraulic Power steering are a different story. AC in an EV is typically the same as a typical refrigerator, with its own motor, or a solid state unit, which I understand the Japanese are working on, to make refrigerators smaller but would work in EVs. The Steering would have to be Electric. Either that or you rack is geared that you don't need boost anyway.

[@H2GenerationX]

Faraday's law would indicate...that the energy it took to sprin that alternator *resistance follows energy draw" would be more than what the alternator produces. SO....maybe a tiny biodiesel generator could produce electricity to charge the battery bank..giving you a longer range. You could hook a few expensive solar panels to the vehicle in a aerodynamic fashion, aslo charging the banks. Regenerative Braking could also add to the vehicles range. These are all good ideas.

[@Artik_fox]

I am a nuub just learning about EV. No electrical background, but can handle most gas engines. My question is: with this plate, could you add an alternator and perhaps regenerate some of the electricity back to the batteries?

[@keeianfazilkee8552]

is it posible to convert 660cc engine to this motor... how much power supply it need to run for 1hr drive in 5000rpm ...

[@wildelectricgoose]

Would recommend blue loctite on all those bolts

[@garyfjeldsted2020]

Great video I really liked it easy to learn keep it up boys

[@bigbaderek1978]

man i wish i could afford that set up...so nice!!!

[@wayneyd2]

Nice. The only thing I may add is lock tight to those 4 mount screws.

[@daviddrake6875]

Matt: Can you now get Regenerative braking with a DC motor? If so great I live on a 5000 foot mountain and a Nissan leaf with 80 percent charge in Escondido made it up here with 15 per cent charge left, and on the way down with their percent of regenerative braking the charge meter read 95 percent charge at the bottom of the 12 mile grade. Can I get 0-60 at 5 seconds? if so VERY interested in converting.

[@worthtech3249]

Nice vid...well done....what happens to these external motors when the motor stops? Electric motors don't run like gas engines. The air conditioner would stop correct?

[@raul7293]

I visited EV West website and was watching the variety of products you guys have and the prices as well. Honestly I still don't understand why I would convert my $8000 vehicle by spending over $30000 in parts just to have my vehicle the way it is right now and to save in gas as well. Does not make any scene to me.

[@DebtFreeCars]

Is this the same motor that runs the traction system? So the transmission connects to the other end?? If that’s the case wouldn’t accessories only run when car is rolling?

[@shanemcdowell4852]

What would be the best electric motor for a 2004 Chevy Silverado EXT Cab truck? I'd like to have something powerful enough to do everydy driving to and from class, work, day-to-day errands, but still be able to load up my truck with a 500 lb load and still be able to maintain interstate speeds. Is there anything available that has that capability?

[@DennisMilesEVprofessor]

Why not go to DC for much more torque and lower cost , a larger motor like a Warp 11 only $3,100 retail. Enough torque to move a full size pick-up truck and a couple tons of trailer. Add another $1,000 for a simple DC controller. and no transmission needed at all. so you can scrap or sell both the engine and transmission put the new motor under the cab where the transmission was and 1/2 the battery pack under the hood and 1/2 under the truck bed behind the cab, but, in front of the rear axle for good stability and handling...

[@paguliukas]

yes if u millionaire lol

[@aarifkhatri8501]

Nice video and guidance thanks bro👌😀

[@danibjor]

Best thing is, when you are stand still and need to turn the wheel to get your car out of a tight spot - you get no help from the power steering as the motor is not running. Electric servo is the way to go.

[@TheCharleseye]

On the plus side, shaving several hundred pounds out of the front of your car makes the wheels turn a lot easier.

[@hcom01]

Hello, i'm very impres with what you guys are doing. I would like to know more about this. For example can you make a space to setup a 600 amps alternator?. And also if after making a full conversion Let's say I have to drive down the hill every day is there a way to reduce the speed without using the brakes in an excessive way. Let's say that I down shift to second gear, the electric motor will act in a similar way to the internal combustion motor? Is it posible to couple an electric motor to an automatic transmission? And how much money do i have to put in a complete project?

[@briankumpan9892]

I saw in another article on KZbin, someone added an altenator (sorry for spelling) and said the got twice the range out of the same setup. How true is this?

[@heatherlynnbennett3514]

Do you have any setups for front wheel drives with a automatic transmission

[@TheTferrer]

What about the power brakes? Also, would like to know is when the vehicle stops and the motor stops how the steering pump, A/C units, and the vacuum continues to work? Thanks in advance.

[@manuellarosa2959]

Awesome set up... nice a silent, and around how much to place that in my old 2003 toyota camry.

[@occ1692]

I am currently installing a 48vdc forklift motor in a 190E mercesdes is this accessory package available for my installation?

[@Mr.XYZ6775]

Good job and vary well explained.

[@komsingphanthavong452]

instead of having ac or power steering. can you run a series of alternators to help charge your batteries?

[@nathaniels.newsom2698]

"Yeah, you could... totally do that"

[@hondaguy9153]

Komsing Phanthavong no. that's using a battery to charge your battery. there's too much loss, it wouldn't work efficiently, you would just lose mileage.

[@rfrank1980]

why couldn't you do that? Maybe have a separate system for the alternators to charge them using a solar panel then have the alternators charge the drive batteries? I think it could work.

[@tontsa955]

I was thinking the same except i would use the alternators for audio use. In future i will convert my lada 2102 to electric and it doesent have any accesories except lights, heating and power brakes.

[@vainwretch]

If you used a flywheel system to build up energy you could maybe balance out some of the losses

[@turbine6338]

excellent job guys, well engineered

[@petersimon3400]

What about the heating part in the winter, the kit you installed comes with all the parts and dose it install in the front or the back of the motor

[@seasonfilms9375]

Hi John! You mentioned in another post about solar installation to run a home central AC unit. My unit is a small one for a 1200 square foot home. How much or how many solar panels would I need to power it? what about a battery bank for night use? etc???? I'm looking to try to get off the grid somewhat here. (Cutting energy costs)

[@rock8613]

Hi a question, on this adapter you ca put also a alternator..right ?

[@strokex1]

thanks, good instructions, good video well done.

[@808gunz9]

Can a alternator be added to make a vehicle more self sufficient and extend range possibly?

[@albertlilo9906]

how works exactly , has only one shaft or two independent shaft? one for the motor and other for the equipment like air conditioning, power steering and vacuum, please explain to me...

[@JPK90]

That's some tasteful piece of design

[@untipodeapie]

hi guys!! what Of the availables motors Could i put in my Renault 21 GTX, transmission manual Of 5 gears (very similar in size and weight to a Crown victoria) and how much is the cost Of entire kit with this adaptor included. do you send to exterior?? greetings and thumbs up from Argentina!!

[@Hollywood4Fun]

That's a sweet system.

[@LucasSteyn]

Few drawbacks- ac only while driving, no power steering in traffic. Consider your use, otherwise very neat👌

[@nathan4233]

Yeah not a kit for an everyday car in my opinion

[@jeffneal1518]

What it cost to complete in a 72 c-10 truck? And where to order parts when parts wear out?

[@lesterhersh7184]

I have an f350 U-Haul truck what size electric motor would that take and cost? what do you for heating in the winter??

[@gwepps316]

How much for that particular set for a Chrysler 300

[@bobmathew3380]

Good video!

[@shinoo91]

hello where did i can get that motor and some another part plz

[@juanhyepiz]

Hi , this is just a thought, This is an old video, so this guys probably didn't know about new technology. the cars now in days have electric A/C, breaks and PS, so you don't need to do all this. price difference may be a lot but they all work while your electric motor is not working. so good for this guys trying to do something to have the consumer happy but all this has work out pretty good.

[@pakshah5449]

Great idea Superb Thanks.

[@EpicCarConversions]

Great setup, okay I got dibs on that one!

[@carls.6746]

whats the max amps this setup pulls? and if i was rich enough how much power will 4 motors linked together like in the video need? and what is the benefit of the power glide over a regular automatic transmission. and why not brushless dc motors.

[@stldesperado8184]

What kind of battery is used with the Warp 9? I've been interested in the Warp 9 and 11 for some time but haven't seen the battery packs

[@jerrysimone9896]

What about a separate motor to drive the accessories ? from what I understand if the main motor does not turn when the car is at a stop the accessories (a.c etch) will not work I know that there maybe enough pressure buildup in the power steering and brakes but for how long will the pressure time last ?

[@randyb726]

What kind of charging system do you guys have why is there a limit on mileage

[@HHS_Hussein]

فعلااا أنت فنان في هذا العمل ..

[@FUNKBOOGIE1]

EV West ? What about adding a car battery with a alternator to help with radio, electric heater and help recharge battery to the system ?

[@diagonalley1785]

I may have skipped something but, how do you install this to the transmission?

[@jpmcsweeney7156]

Can it handle 14,000 RPM without blowing up either the pulley system or the compressors?
