I broke down and purchased the EV Source cooling kit for the Soliton Controller and the kit for the Impulse 9 motor. The items arrived last night. I was excited to tear into them and see what I got. Although pricey, I will say that the kits look like they are excellent quality. Unfortunately, since my car seems to be cursed, when I went to install the water cooling kit for the controller the first thing I noticed was the adaptors, that screw into the threaded ports aren't going to work. Not because they don't screw in, but they are too wide to sit next to each other. I need skinny adaptors or an extender of some sort? I'm still trying to problem solve this. I'm hoping the good folks at DIYelectriccarforum will help.
Since that wasn't going anywhere, I thought at least I can start with installing the motor fan. I had ordered the bottom motor mount because I have the shelf sitting right above my motor with very little space. Once again I was smitten with a hex, the collar puts the spout for the fan at the top of my motor, which doesn't have room for the spout. Either my motor is upside down, or they gave me the wrong kit. After checking my motor it's at a 3:00 position from where it should be. Remember I used a motorcycle jack top install vs an engine lift. ARGHH!!
Needless to say, lots more to come.
