EV West Billet Aluminum Endbell Hyper9 Installation - Remove and Replace Factory Endbell
This video demonstrates how to install the EV West billet aluminum end bell for the Hyper9 single shaft motor. This product enables rear face mounting of the motor, which is essential for applications like VW Type 4, VW Bay Window Bus, Porsche 914, and many American front motor mount setups. Motor cradles are not advised as they exert inward pressure on the field windings, potentially damaging the motor. The end bell offers a solution, allowing for easy mounting to your rear support bracket or mustache bar. As mentioned, we provide installation if you purchase this product from EV West. This video aims to guide you through the installation process on your own. For any questions about this product or other conversion components, please contact us at sales@evwest.com. We are here to assist you.

I love this Volkswagen Bus from 60’s with Electricity. But don’t you have them automatic gears
How did you get the stock LV system to work without the motor? Were you able to flash the ECU so that the EPS and everything worked perfectly?
I'm hearing 2nd-hand that you no longer offer a Powerglide adapter and that it was too "problematic"... Is there another video that explains this? Seems like a dead simple and reliable transmission, and not sure why an EV needs more than 2 speeds??
Doesn't that truck share basically the same wheel base as a model S... Why not "just" a body swap?
How many miles do you get on a charge and how quick does it take charge?
I like your system, what does it cost
Guys, the new end bell appears to add some length to the overall motor. How much longer is it compared to original? I have minimal clearances to play with...
i believe one of the team reached out to you directly, but wanted to add this information for the entire audience. The dimensions are the same other than that it increases the length by 1/2 inch.
Would love to see an update
Wow that’s fast. Just acquired a 1966 912 with a vw engine ughh. planning to put a period correct 4 cylinder Porsche 912 motor back in during restoration but your video does open up a different direction do you sell the box or at least provide the cad/ dxf file for us to weld up a engine mount to go with your 912 kit ? Trying to put together a cost. And labor estimate
Where's the alternator
I think by the time i buy the whole setup for my torana here in Australia it would be cheaper to buy a new electric car.
absolutely possible.
Welcome back! More!
Long time no see
I think your main camera is running like at 24 frames
Don't cross thread the bolts
Great video. Keep doing more.👍
Have you ever converted a front wheel drive car to ev
I did the same ElectroAuto conversion on my 914 back in 2009. I just spent the winter upgrading the pack to 6 Tesla Model S modules, but I left the motor and Curtis controller alone. The final effort was getting it imported into Spain. Now I really want to swap out the NetGain for a Model 3 motor/controller! I have to re-watch the rest of the series and get my drool towel ready.
Man that's a sweet car! If Jim Carrey and Robin Williams had a son who drank too much coffee it would be him.
Luv the green theme.......totally suits you since the person that set your prices is high.........come on 21k for a conversion kit for a gia that only has such a tiny range and 8 hrs to charge......lol get real
What ever happened to seeing what it looked like in the car🤦🏻♂️ I literally have no idea what I just watched & with no introduction this was like “WHHAATTT” lol Great video… am sure but for the wide array-audience this is a 👎🏼 for me
which year and model of the battery ?
hi it is very good to find you here. could you tell me wat is dual stack motor and how does it work?
Weight?
Why is the truck called a 5 window, there are 9 windows on it.
Lots of talk that doesn't apply to the title.
Does that have the floating axle on it or does it have the two tubs under the transaxle? What is the cost of the transaxle modifications to two speed?
Wow, Kindred Motorworks does this kind of thing. Both of you guys are doing great work!
We only see you and your arms pointing to something -- which we cant figure out what? ? ? Hurray to you and your arms ! ! ! ALLL THE BEST OF LUCK TO EV WEST!
Cool car, great job. Annoying AF dude.
Nice
How can I get my tundra truck converted
Check mate
Man I really wanted to watch this video but the annoyance factor is way off the charts!
Building your own EV or Hybrid is the ultimate build!!
Got mine from JPS just a week ago. A bit funky to drive it.
I have one of those kits new in the garage.
I need something like this for my 4x4 side by side. No AC, no power steering
Hello, where did you get the BMS Tester?? Regards!!
Has he mentioned the driving range of these conversions at all ? Also with the gap between the electric motor in the back and his control box in the boot how sure is the waterproofing ? Yes EV's are instantly fast but also drain fast then spend at lease 20-45 mins somewhere charging ? Ask the Tesla drivers in Chicago how much they love their EVs... lol . I'd probably buy a hybrid in the future but hey dont be surprised one day they stop liquid fuels .... lol... After all that is our govts plan .....
Burnouts are as stupid as burning fossil fuels. With electric drivetrain it is finally possible to get all the torque into the ground and push the vehicle forward.
NEVER BUILT
Show me an accessory that will run the motor with hella TORQUE. I'll have 1. Other than that, FUCK OFF.
A 95' version of this is my dream car
why?
Why not turn the EV engine into a Fiber-Optic EV engine? That way you won't need coolant.
I’d love to have an electric adventure van. Reminds me of the solar van Route del Sol. I really enjoyed following him. It is too bad he is all done with his adventures. Did you ever finish this build?
World's fastest battery powered device, with the acoustic appeal of a dentist's drill. When it's close enough to hear anything. When it is you wish it wasn't, mind you. Watching EV's make runs on the salt flats, is comparable to being at a rock concert, where the visual performance seems normal, their movements on stage, the instrumentals, the vocals, everything you expect to see. EXCEPT...... Where's the SOUND? The AUDIO? The ACOUSTICS? It's like the band is taking the piss, after taking too much drugs, and hatching a plot to freak out the audience. MIMING their performance for all they're worth, PRETENDING to be unaware instruments & microphones are unplugged, amplifiers are switched off, speaker stacks are silent & still, at the expense of fans who bought expensive tickets to the show. And are seeing what they expect to see. But are unfulfilled & unimpressed, that it's only FIFTY PERCENT of the experience they want & paid for. NO amount of drugs would stop the band eventually realising they're making no sound, if they WERE theoretically unaware. Perhaps it's a covert government "Partial Sensory Deprivation" experiment on the public, with the initially hostile band getting onboard after negotiating a lifetime supply of drugs? POINT BEING.... The visuals are only half the show. Witnessing the spectacle of a racer chasing the horizon, and maybe a record, blasting across the salt flats on a wide open "throttle".... Is fine in isolation, if you're deaf. Hearing & feeling the spectacle of the full spectrum of noises & sounds, that accompany what your eyes are seeing, in synchronicity..... Is much better, if you're not. That's why "Formula E" is intolerable. Acoustically, it's like watching 24 Dentist's Drills compete on a racetrack. Close your eyes, and you might get flashbacks to your last Root Canal. Like EV's in ANY form or class of racing or competition, what you DON'T HEAR is the sound of RACING. The REAL sound, of REAL vehicles burbling at idle, hammering under hard acceleration, wailing at full throttle, induction roar booming off buildings, spitting flames on the overrun, the piercing, deafening shriek of a straight-cut gearbox assaulting the senses. The goosebumps. The shivers down the spine. Unless you're deaf, EV's ALWAYS rob you of HALF the joy of driving vehicles, racing vehicles, observing vehicles, and generally enjoying ANY ownership or interaction with vehicles. Either you can't hear them at all. Or, you hear what sounds like kitchen appliances, dentist's drills, food processors, electric shavers, but NOTHING righteous, rebellious, appropriate, or pleasing reminiscent of PROPER cars & motorcycles. To the extent that I don't believe EV's even deserve to qualify as vehicles, and don't acknowledge them as such. You can convert almost ANY internal combustion engine to burn Hydrogen, so the only emission from the exhaust is steam, or water vapour if you will. So, why not have your cake and eat it? Enjoy the FULL experience of sights & sounds of internal combustion goodness, without environmental concerns or guilt. Rather than the unacceptable, unforgivable, irreconcilable compromise EV's always imply & impose. I'll never understand how EV's appeal to anyone. Their presence denies half the joy of vehicles. They should all be cut in half, to represent that. Or, given to freaks who enjoy them, I guess. The constitution enshrines everyone's right to Freedom of Choice. Even EV lovers.
incredible work!
