Weight of various components
Hello Pelicans,
I just started down the slippery slope of converting my 912E to use a Tesla Motor and LG Chem batteries and wonder if someone can help me calculate how much weight I'm adding to the car so I can spec out the proper size torsion bars and if I need to have the dampers revalved.
The Tesla motor is about 300 pounds and will site where the transmission is and behind the motor will be another 300 pounds of batteries, then with the gas tank removed, another 300 pounds of batteries will be in its place, plus various other electronics, and then add other brackets and battery enclosures I'm looking at adding about 1000 pounds total, then minus the engine, transmission, starter, fuel tank, fuel lines, etc. etc that I won't need anymore. I'm guessimating maybe 150 pounds to the front and 300 pounds to the rear of the car? So please pull out your slide rules and help me do figure out what size TBs I'll need???
