Still waiting for the new powerglide.

Took the car out for a stroll beautiful day in So Cal!

Sporting my new 2008 Corvette 18" Rims with new low rolling resistance tires. They added 15% to my range.

Yeah, that's just cool. Nice score on the wheels and tires. 15% more range is HUGE! Coolest EV on the road!

It has been a while since I last updated this page, Below are some pictures of the actual Siamese 9" motors with a shorty Powerglide.

Enjoy!

Here is the BTI Top Dragster transmission I put on the rear of my Siamese 9" motors





Mounting the drive train to the car. Total weight with the transmission is about 387 pounds.





The front green box is my EHV Zilla controller capable of 375V and 1900 amps of current to the two motors. The box to the right is the battery charger capable of charging the 360V battery pack up in less than 4 hours.





The front battery pack with 30 CALB 100AH Lithium batteries, it is shoehorned in there the radiator used to reside.





The rear pack with 78 CALB 100AH batteries mounted in the cargo area behind the seats. The total batteries weigh 752 pounds





Showing what the pack looks like with the cover removed.





Scales showing the total weight





Wheel weights.





Grabbing some local juice while eating at Olive Garden. Sporting C7 18" rims with low rolling resistant tires







Upgraded seats, they fit really good!

I was just wondering how things were going ... thanks for the update.

This is just a fantastic C4 project

Unfortunately, no track times, 0-60's are right at 5 seconds...

I have been fighting some drive train vibration, I had to have the drive shaft lengthened by an 1.5" . Since I'm not using the C beam I purchased a torque arm from Spohn and had the differential end put together at a fabricator which now allows me to adjust the pinion angle, this resolved the issues.

By my spreadsheets I should be hitting around high 13's low 14's in the 1/4. If I were only racing I could tremendously scale back the batteries and the car would be much faster. As i would go with more batteries with at least half the AH rating. Also I still running the stock 3.07 rear end for as long as it will last.

My range is about 80 miles and the batteries weight is about 752 pounds while White Zombie's battery pack as an example is only about 358 pounds.

Thus far everyone that has ridden in the car loves being pinned to the seat.

Here is the torque / Hp Curves:




Mo's 9" Siamese Hp /Torque Curve's this is running the motors at 180 volts and 1600amps the motors are wired in parallel.<br/>

That's so cool that it only weighs about 25 lbs more than the new Z06

Mo_Bandy

I tried to keep it as close to stock weight as possible


Thanks!

I thought I would share a short clip of a cruise at one of our local Car Shows.

Sorry there is a lot of noise pollution LOL

Even with open headers I'm the quietest car there...

Anyway enjoy!
