I am doing a very similar (as similar as an old Jag can be to an 80s SUV) EV conversion using a model 3 pack. My pack design is totally different, but I generally like where you are going... The idea to use automotive clamps on the cutdown posts was a good one! Not knowing how far behind these videos are from reality, and not knowing all the gritty details, I do have one suggestion to make😬. Based on my previous experience with BMS troubleshooting (not Teslas, aftermarket), the most common way to make the BMS freak out is having a connection that is higher resistance than the BMS expects. On the front end of your modules it looked like you cut the busbar down and reconnected it using two bolts... I would expect that connection to be pretty high resistance (comparatively vs the factory setup). The BMS tests every cell by checking the voltage drop across it, and may be testing the voltage drop between modules... Keep those connections in mind if you get BMS faults.

If there isn't already a steel sheet on top of the bottom modules, I'd consider adding one with some PET film or other non-conductive coating on both sides to provide more separation from the top modules. The 2170 cells Tesla uses are oriented with the cap and vent pointing downwards so if one goes into thermal runaway, the hot gasses blow out of the bottom of the module. This will be fine for the lower two modules, but if a cell in one of the upper modules gets too hot & starts to run away, those gasses will blow right out of the blue potting compound and could melt into the lower module, setting off cells there too. Tesla designs a roughly 10mm air gap between the bottom of the modules and the bottom steel sheet of the pack for volume for gasses to escape and a bit of dead space in case of underbody damage - I'd recommend you try to do the same with the upper layer of cells to give enough gap for gas to escape, but have an insulated steel sheet between the upper and lower modules to spread out the heat and keep a jet of burning gas from lighting off more of the pack.

Great stuff - you are doing an amazing job. But you may want to reconsider the aluminum lugs. After a while, they can oxidize and go ohmic, causing all kinds of trouble. Aerospace applications still use lots of copper, even though the aluminum is lighter for this reason. Also, in the 70's, builders started to switch to aluminum in houses, but lots burned down. Many owners had their houses rewired. It is possible to get a good connection, but if you are a little off, it can work for a while, until it doesn't.

Another engine that would be cool for this. Is a vortec 4200. Or the 5cyl version. If it's too long. They can make serious power. Just adding a turbo and injectors can get 500+ at the wheels. With low end tq and peak HP around 6k rpm thanks to variable cam timing. They are awesome little engines, not the basic paperweights the old i6 engines were. The only thing I did with the pushrod i6 engines is remove them. Swap in a V8. I have had plans to convert a vehicle to electric for years. I have bought 3 series wound brushed forklift motors, but will likely use a Nissan leaf motor. If I ever actually build one. I may use 1-2 of the forklift motors in a small Geo metro converted to a tiny truck or possibly a tracker sized vehicle, use a lifepo4 battery. 100ah cells, with 2in parallel , making a 200ah. 20 series cells , being128v nominal. To equal 25-kwh nearly 26kwh. The one motor is rated at 3.8kw @ 24v running at 120v it will require extra cooling, running at 36v it stays room temperature. It can safely run at 180-195°f plus. I will obviously add a few thermal sensors. A alarm and temperature gauge on each motor.the brushes will wear faster A 2"-3." High velocity blower will probably be all the cooling required. I will probably wrap the motor with copper or aluminum tubing. And epoxy it to the case. Pump coolant through it. After some math 72v is about the limit, bring the wattage squares. The less than 4kw exploded to 8x that. By doubling the volts . The motor will be 13.32kw at 72v, so 24 series cells for 76.8v nominal. And 88.8 volts absolute maximum. Maybe 280-320ah cells would be a better fit, to allow a 300amp draw easy . And having two identical motors. To equal 26.6kw motors the drawback is them weighing about 150lbs each. Being made from cast iron and steel. Bring filled with iron and copper! A bldc motor would be much lighter. , although having about 36hp and the TQ of a flock of buffalo. It should carry a small vehicle fairly well. Total weight bring 1800-2000lbs. Using a 5-6 speed manual transmission. Using gears 2-5, probably only 3&4th gear on the highway possibly 5th could be used to allow low motor speed with light load 60 mph should not require much power to maintain. A current and tachometer used to determine the economy/ battery usage. I'd like to get a imported micro van or truck. Convert to electric, maybe build a small 350v battery for the electric accessories, like 25ah cells350-400v. For the ac, and heat, use a transformer to boost the 72v to 350-400, using a push pull MOSFET configuration to a transformer, wound for 65-70v to allow a microcontroller to control the output. Basically a 72v-400volt inverter. Only about 1000-1200 watts. 12vbrake boost, and power steering, using. A 72v-12v DC buck converter that should be a common part. Using a 50ah lifepo4 12v battery, switch all lighting to LED. A couple 100 amp alternators attached to the drive shaft to work as Regen braking. Only charging when brakes are applied. So the first 3" of pedal is the pot for the alternator charging , make bore power to charge the battery. Having 3batteries , it will probably be the 12v system that also can charge the 400 v system Aldo if fully charged, send about 500 watts to the hv battery, if it's full. Charge the 72v battery! Sorry to ramble about my idea hor ev conversion. Have a awesome day and thanksgiving ! ☮️

Prob should of did a vacuum test along with the pressure test. As things cool down they can pull vacuum and introduce containments or air. My understanding if you split the incoming flow to go to both ends of 4 way splitter than it can be equal pressure in all ways. Not sure what this will do with overall flow but pressure will be more equal. Protection for the flow outlets in front of the pack. Model 3 has a problem with this that is only rear motor. Debris can push against the flimsy plastic shield and damage the plastic connectors.
@alsavage1 Жыл бұрын
The Tesla coolant system doesn't pull a vacuum like an ICE's; it also doesn't cycle the temperature nearly as wide, as it never gets "hot". Above a certain temperature, the A/C system starts doing the heavy lifting of cooling the coolant, via a heat exchanger.
