Just a few progress pics for the curious. It's not a huge amount of progress but at least it feels like the project is starting to move forward! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
This is a pic of the taper lock hub. It's the reason for my question about flywheel distance. I have about 5 cm of play here so I needed to know where the flywheel was SUPPOSED to end up. Thank you Demick for the fantastic data dump you gave me! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) The amazing thing about taper lock hubs is that you can remove the bolts completely and the thing still won't come off! Attached image(s)

Comparing gas engines to electric motors is always complicated. If I told you that this motor is rated at 20 Hp you'd say well gee that doesn't seem like enough. Problem is gas engines are rated at peak Hp whereas electric motors are rated at continuous Hp. The peak on this motor is rated at 90Hp but many people have run it 2 or 3 times that! Torque is even more complicated.
I'm using a stock 901 tranny so the final drive is stock. And mostly I just use third gear. Basically I've put this system together to deliver something very close to a 1.7L 914. I'm just trying to make a daily driver not a rocket like Otmar's. |
