Yikes! Had no idea trees are going for that. We've not had an indoor tree for years. Our blue spruce just outside the living room gets decorated. Then of course we have our rebar trees. My wife wanted me to weld up xmas trees, so she got rebar trees!

And my Christmas Bowtie goes up every year.

Nice! I've given up decorating. No one sees it anyway.

**Gregski** · 11-29-2023, 11:48 AM

questions you'll be able to answer after watching this fascinating video:

1. Where is the Greg and Dusty going?
2. How far did Americans drive per day before DIVOC?
3. How many shake down miles is the Greg trying to put on the truck?
4. How old were you when you got your driver's license?

and more...

Wow, I am so impressed I am willing to send you a $25 dollar gift card to AMAZON, [not kidding, PM me your email address] or you can go for double or nothing on the next video aka Part II when it uploads on Friday, twice the questions for twice the reward?

**396ci** · 12-01-2023, 08:59 AM

Just a reminder to cast a vote for this amazing build. I appreciate all the candidates this month but to hand build a fully functioning ev in your garage is truly next level.

Plus a bump for gregski!

Ok, back to class for test 2. If I was paying attention there was only two questions asked.
Capitol of New York - Albany
What gear do you dyno an automatic trans in - High Gear (1:1), do not use overdrive. You want it to be 1:1 ratio.

**Gregski** · 12-05-2023, 11:24 AM

today is the big day, we are going to go get Dusty dynoed at a place called Holeshot Performance in Sacramento California, judging by these pics they seem to be Chevy Truck Friendly, CTF, we spoke to a nice guy there named Rick who will allow us to take pics and shoot some talkies

**Gregski** · 12-06-2023, 09:51 AM

a little teaser...

DIY EV Conversion Electric Chevy C10 Truck Dyno Coming Up...

_

**Gregski** · 12-07-2023, 11:48 AM

more vertical dyno videos (I think YouTube limits us to 60 seconds so I tend to post a bit longer ones, 90 seconds on the_gregski Instagram) a longer format video is being edited as we speak, or I type and you read (you get the idea, lol)

for any of you Nor Cal guys and gals, this place Holeshot Performance is in Rancho Cordova off of Sunrise Blvd and White Rock and Rick and Jake (and Rick's wife) are salt of the earth people, the shop is brand new and the cleanest one I have ever been in

yuccales · 12-08-2023, 08:56 AM

Come on Greg....

sorry, I had trouble editing that video my production crew is already running on holiday brains, lol

122 hp @ 42 mph using only one motor not both (on a 60% charged battery pack)

219 ft-lbs torque (this was estimated since we had no useable RPM signal)

CAR SPECS

3,200 lbs vehicle weight
1.9 CVT Transmission gear reduction
GM 12 bolt rear end 3.73 gears
7.087 total gear reduction
215/65 R17 tires (28" tire diameter)

LESSONS LEARNED

at this time Electric Vehicles can not provide a tach RPM signal output to the dynos, not even the OEMs like Tesla and Rivian (their sh!et is locked down)

we used a Dyno Jet 223 XLC

yuccales · 12-10-2023, 11:47 AM

What is the maximum rpm's that the motor/motors will ever run at? Btw, thanks for the update.

there is a configurable limit pre set in the software at 10,000 but mine goes up to 11

Vehicle RPM Hook Ups with Dynojet Automotive Dynamometers

this video goes over the five different ways you can send RPM signal from the vehicle to the dynamometer (maybe two of these could work for the EV, what do you think?)

Inductive Pickups (this is the method we already tried and it did NOT work)
Optical Pickup
EZ-RPM Module
OBDII Data Link
Calculating RPM

So at the moment, you are getting 6 cyl power levels? That will do some work.
