So now lemme tell you what I'm not supposed to tell you, the extra curriculars

so it all started with me wanting to relocate the water pump which then led me to this, replacing the radiator, and I did this for a couple reasons, first I got tired or using many reducer hoses to step down from like 1 1/2 inches down to 3/4 for the Tesla water pump and even further down to 5/8ths for the inverter, and transmission

and the second reason was cause the darn bottom outlet port on my stock Chevy radiator headed straight for the passenger side frame rail, so I needed a narrower radiator, complements of this sexy 2014 Nissan Versa

[Gregski]

Mandatory Stare 'n' Compare

the new Versa rad has only 1 1/8th inch inlet and outlet

.

[Gregski]

all moched up

notice how the bottom outlet clears the frame rail now - Winning !

Can't imagine how long a printed out "Dusty" dna would be!

[Gregski]

you all ever werk on your car and say ahhh I'll do that later, well looks like now it's later for the Greg and he is going around and a fixn' everything he should have done did right the first time

here I am finishing loomin' the OEM headlight wire harness, I swear once I run out of this corrugated split wire loom (pronounced: cheap crap) I am graduating to that sexy braided expendable wrap like all the cool kids be runnin'

.

[Gregski]

I swear there's a wire mess every where I look, that green and yellow wire bundle is the stock rear lights harness, and all I really have going to the OEM bulkhead (everything else was engine related and has been deleted) is the red wire which supplies main 12v power to the OEM fuse box in the cockpit, the tiny black wire is the signal for the Prius EPAS Electronic Power Ass. Steering, this should get cleaned up tonight, so that my brain can function and not be distracted



that's a little gooder

ha ha, probably not as long as his younger brother's Rusty's here: Restorying Rusty

[Gregski]

then it was time to tidy up this fugly Prius power steering mess, note the unclipped zip ties, how recluse it that?


I can live with this

Progress Not Perfection

I live my life one module at a time!

so glad all the heavy liftin' is done

Looks really good. I'm looking forward to seeing how the two motors do now that you've got the input shaft locked.

I see you went with Ford V6 cylinder numbering for your battery pack numbering scheme...

rethinking the component placement, not in love where the black box has taken residence

good ol' air cooled first gen Chevy Volt DC-DC alternator


and above it in the middle(ish) is it's older sibling first gen Chevy Volt battery charger

[loudchevy]

Clean install, nice job.

[Gregski]

well I'm still here, I wasn't busy enuff with the truck and my life was pretty stress free, so I started a side hustle with the dream of eventually making EV Conversion Wire Harness Kits which are pretty much Plug & Pray, here I am in the process of working on a prototype

the vision is that you will receive everything except for the ZombieVerter VCU circuit board which you can obtain from EVBMW.com

this will be nicely loomed eventually

After watching your parts pulling escapades, no truer words have been spoken! Dusty is looking good under the hood.

so my Alibaba 400x300x200mm Electrical Outdoor Metal Waterproof Vented Junction Box With Fan finally arrived

$112 bones

BMW 530e sBox inside for sizematology reference

and a little sneak peak ahead to Phase III, we will be upgrading to a 6 Killer Whaler battery charger/dc-dc combo unit, and rolling our own contactor/junction box

no Phase II is not completed, you did not miss anything

spent the last couple weeks [pronounced: "months"] bangin' my head against a brick wall trying to figure out how to mount that Nissan Versa radiator in the truck with the least amount of fabin' and fandangling, came up with all sorts of excuses not to work on the truck in the process, and amassed a potpourri of random and not so random OEM radiator brackets in the process

[feel free to suspend my Man Card for the use of the word "potpourri" I should know better]
