Looking at feasibility of connecting a Warp 9 or bigger motor to the IRS Pumpkin/frame for performance. (before anyone gets upset I own a Volt and two 1st gen Insights).
Goal is to add more torque to my V6 and because it is a manual 6 speed, I would have it (after full throttle is pushed) continuously apply torque as clutch is pushed in and during the shift. There by eliminating the loss of drive as i shift.
I am will to fill the trunk and back seat area with batteries. I know there will be a weight vs torque issue but only looking for 1 or 2 full pulls between recharge and or regen.
Has anyone done something similar for performance?
