Ok so my car is not working and is pending parts and a good fuel injection troubleshoot. Also I work at a scrap yard that recently got in an electric forklift. (I think you know were this is going
) anyway I was thinking of ways to make it drive with just electric power, but did not want to remove the engine (well maybe) so I can still take road trips. So I have a two way choice, A:change the motor to an electric one and use a generator to power it on long trips. Pros lighter, Cons slower, and may not save much gas on a long trip. B:Make the forklift motor turn the rear axle. I think this might be hard to do. Mr. "Jimmy Rig" knows a trick or two, JK. So I got the idea to turn just one wheal, with a belt. I have attached a drawing for reference. My main concerns are. is the belt going to stay on, were do I get a lug with extenders like on my drawing, how do I gear it, how fast will it go, and is this a good idea
. I do not like the idea of spending money on the controller, so perhaps I could use battery bank switching large resister switching, or just plain on off on off to control my speed. Any suggestions thought welcomed. Thank you. Diagram of me in two months
I was almost thinking yay attachments, but then, only 23k, photobucket time.
By the way I almost forgot to mention it is a metro lsi 4 door 94 hatch back, I have stripped the front right and back seats and almost all the trim from inside. Soon I will strip carped and fenders (do police in Texas mind no fenders no bumpers and is this ok on FE? I want to lower the weight, then mod aero later) ok. Goodnight.
