Here goes (in no particular order): Things That Went Well During the Conversion The 914 AC kit from Electro Automotive is a good one. If you do your own conversion, tap into all these resources whenever you have an issue. The conversion car came from camp914.com Most people are very happy to help.

Since I had modified the regenerative braking system to not drive the brake lights, I had three extra wires left over. I'll use these to tap into DMOC monitoring functions to drive the tachometer and the red/green indicator lights on the dash. The original kit doesn't use the red light and the green light is simply grounded.

One of my fellow 914 AC kit EV'ers is Randy Pollock. He's been extremely helpful in my understanding of how this kit works. About three weeks ago, he sent me a few pictures on his own 914 AC EV project that uses the Electro Automotive kit. The junction box next to the receptacle has two green idicator lights.

Spy the back end at the wrong angle and it could be the lovechild of a Porsche 993 and Ford AU Falcon. 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6’s rear end light show. I was concerned it would look like an electric hob lighting up, but the effect is actually spectacular, especially at night. It’s striking in the metal. Distinctive.

Camp 914 is a fun place with many 914s as well as other Porsches and classic cars. I tested the unit by hooking it up to a 12V SLA battery and applying varying resistances to the output terminal to simulate different light-bulb loads. I've mentioned before that I'm working on an open-source EV kit.

The two grey/red-stripe wires drive the backup lights. The green/red-stripe wire turns on the oil-pressure light in the cabin. The fifth wire called for in the AC kit instructions is supposed to be black with a yellow stripe for the rear brake lights. The black wire is the 12V switched line from the ignition.

In the process of attaching cables to the auxiliary battery, I got a click from the key-switch relay on the right and the DC-DC converter turned on (red light). Also, the instructions for the DC kit may not apply to the AC kit. I also got minor sparks coming from the negative terminal of the auxiliary battery.
