| Many hours of labor and consultation invested by Joshua English of J&E Performance Motors formerly of Stillwater OK. 1/14/2014: Batteries ordered from Hybrid Auto Center. www.hybridautocenter.com 1/16/2014: Trial fit motor and trans-axle in the car. 1/21/2014: Received batteries from Hybrid Auto Center and ordered Elcon charger from EVolve Electrics. 1/23/2014: Ordered SOC bar graph meter off eBay. 1/28/2014: Front mount finished and installed. 2/19/2014: Received charger. 2/22/2014: Removed all ICE associated wiring. 2/23/2014: Installed component board, mounted charger, batteries, controller and fan. 3/09/2014: Wiring done, turned on the power to test. Controller shows fault code 24 - �Throttle signal is higher than the preset dead zone at power on.� Curtis PB6 pot-box is reverse of what Kelly controller is expecting to see. 3/10/2014: Reworked PB6 pot-box to work with Kelly controller. 3/11/2014: Installed axles, filled transaxle and topped off batteries. 3/12/2014: First drive. Ran out of juice 1/2 mile away from home and had to be towed in, establishing the range at 20 miles. The Kelly controller has the low voltage cut off preset at 50V, just about right for these batteries. Any voltage level under 50v was having trouble making speed anyway. 3/14/2014: Removed fuel tank. 3/23/2014: Ebay (rcfuther) 84v bar graph "fuel gauge" worked for one round and quit. Further communication with the vender yields a chart that details the useful range of the bar graph. It is actually an 86v gauge that has a 14v range, pretty useless in my application. This explains why the bar moved so quickly to the left. However they could not explain why the bars would not come back to the right after the pack was depleted and recharged. 4/26/014: Ordered Volvo 12V vacuum pump for power brakes. 5/10/14: Volvo vacuum pump installed, power brakes functional. 5/28/14: 1000 miles 7/20/2014: Ordered DC to DC converter from Kelly Controller 7/23/2014: Received DC to DC converter 7/24/2014: 1500 miles in 19 weeks 8/2/2014: DC to DC converter installed 9/5/2014: 2000 miles 10/8/2014: 2500 miles 11/10/2014: 3000 miles 1/15/2015: Ordered ZEVA Fuel Gauge Driver Plus 1/16/2015: 3500 miles 1/21/2015: Received ZEVA FGD+ v1.2 3/17/2015: 1 year and 4000 miles, on the same day! 5/12/2015: 4500 miles | |||||||
