Porsche 914 EV Conversion

APRIL 22, 2007

After studying the AC kit diagrams and reading the motor controller documentation from Azure Dynamics, I think I understand a little better what all these relays and terminal strips are for. I tried to leave a space for the current shunt (between the two circle depressions), but I have no idea how big it actually is.

I find out this morning from Ross Cunniff (who also recently completed the 914 AC kit), that he has had ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS with his CCPower DC-DC converter. Since I finished the first kit, Electro Auto didn't want to replace my unit because they wanted me to find out more information before I simply blew up another one.

Since this kit is the 914 AC kit, I have no idea how to install the controller plate. I've contacted Randy Pollock, the first person to order a 914 AC kit and he and I are working to figure this out. In addition, ElectroAuto hasn't sent any hardware (specifically the rivnuts) so I can install many of these pieces.

It’s mind-blowing, if not quite in the re-wire brain territory of the Porsche Taycan Turbo S. If you want to keep the tyre mobility kit and power cable bags in the boot, this also eats into space. The ton is up in 3.5 seconds, which let’s not forget is supercar rapid…. in an EV that’s a porky 2185kg. It’s all highway home from here.

Today, I installed the last kit piece that I have from Electro Automotive: the motor controller wiring harness. Just for grins, I plugged in the motor position indicator connector and inserted the main motor drive cable into the controller to get an idea what this thing might look like completed. This made the installation much easier.
