In this episode of Dissrepair, we show you how to adapt a Hyper9 Electric Motor to a Volkswagen Transaxle to start your EV conversion of your vintage volkswagen.
This task requires only ordinary hand tools and should take less than 1 hour, with the tools, fasteners and components handy (and a couple of friends too)
Check out our website for more details.

Why does this swap use flywheel and clutch?

@dissrepair 2 жыл бұрын

The motor utilizes the conventional transmission and can be driven in a single gear or shifted manually. Check out the driving video in this link kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fM2AZMKjrLCmqJc.html

A conventional clutch with an aluminium alloy flywheel sounds like a recipe for a rather short life.

Electric motor armature shafts are usually not rated for much of a thrust load. I wonder if the roller bearings in the electric motor have a high enough thrust rating for the thrust applied when the clutch is applied and released.

They seem to do very well before the hyper 9 the net gain Warp 9 was popular they all went together the same way and bearing failure is rare even after many years, see my KZfaq

@Zaascar 4 ай бұрын

@demotors070161 is there a thrust bearing built into the hyper9? I imagine there will be some axial force when depressing the clutch, and I don't see any thrust bearings externally in the set up. Wondering if this has been an issue for you and this build at all?

@@PatrickFitzgerald-ge2hw I didn't solve it yet, although I did find that the groove for the key was not clean and had to be filed for the key to fit correctly. Going to try again this weekend with heat. If that doesn't work I'm going to see about having it pressed in by a machine shop. Hope you have better luck.

I really don't think that output shaft adapter needs to fit that tightly on the motor shaft. I've worked with all sorts of industrial couplings (which is essentially what that is) and they just slide on.

@jonn7877 Жыл бұрын

He could have heater the adapter then it would have slipped on to the motor shaft. That's the way I did it with my Hyper9 motor and it worked well.

@willieshaw2522 Жыл бұрын

"Chucks Garage" Usually electric motor couplings only have to transmit rotational torque through them. They typically use a Lovejoy coupler to take care of minor alignment issues. That adapter will also see the rotational load and any imbalance of the clutch and flywheel, and the thrust load from the throw-out bearing when applying the clutch. IMO it needs to be an interference fit.

Too much to be a cool way to get a old bug with no engine back on the road because buying a new engine is cheaper. You could probably buy a new engine and trans for the price of the EV motor.

You're missing the point: ease of conversion. It's literally just a motor swap. Nothing I'd do to ruin the value of a classic car, but you do you. Heck, you can even get a couple of hundred bucks for the old engine to offset the multiple $1000s of dollars for the EV motor kit + batteries! 🙄
