| Vehicle | 1988 Holden Barina the car started life with 28kw's at the wheels and 900newtons of tractive effort on our dyno. it now has 49kw's and 1800newtons! I did the conversion over a 6 month period gathering parts but the actual job took me 60hours over Christmas once all the parts were in my shed |
| Motor | Advanced DC x91-4001 Series Wound DC this little motor is awesome. I can take off in any gear under 100 Amps! |
| Drivetrain | x91-4001 Advanced DC motor and Curtis 11231c 120volt 500amp controller. |
| Controller | Curtis 1231c you get used to the whine........you do........trust me......just buy one! they work! and you can't get a 'Zilla at the moment! |
| Batteries | 10 Crown 140ah, 12.00 Volt, Lead-Acid, Flooded these batteries are 30kgs each and work really well |
| System Voltage | 120 Volts |
| Charger | home made I made the charger myself. It can charge any pack voltage up to 260 Volts. Auto shut off is included. I'll make one for you for a good price! |
| DC/DC Converter | Toshiba 3 Toshiba laptop computer chargers |
| Top Speed | 120 MPH (193 KPH) Fast acceleration to 80km/h then takes a while to get to 120km. 144 Volts would fix that!. This is the economy wound motor too....not the high speed one! |
| Acceleration | 0-50mph in 13seconds |
| Range | 50 Miles (80 Kilometers) at 40-50km/h |
| Seating Capacity | 5 adults |
| Curb Weight | 1,900 Pounds (863 Kilograms) |
| Conversion Time | 60 hours |
| Conversion Cost | $9000 aus |
| Additional Features | the car was featured on "A Current Affair" here in Australia. Copy this link to watch the full episode WebPage |
| i am currently reducing the voltage from 120volts down to 96volts. it will make the car 70kgs lighter and i only use it around town anyway so the 120km/h top speed is not what i'm after. i am also going to put in 8x 12 amp 12 volt battery chargers. one for each battery. these are the smart charge style and i wont have to worry about battery balancing anymore! keep a lookout for my youtube site. my user name is LPGAS1 i'll be posting more videos very soon! | |
