The junkyard approach

Hi All,

I am looking at using a pair of 4kw 4092, 1520kv, 4-pole brushless DC motors on some TD04 or similar compressors; plentiful 2nd hand!

The Flycolor 'opto' 15OA, 5-12s ESC from Ali' looks good, e-rpm unknown.

The battery will be a 10s pack, 36V (42V max). I have a few e-scooter packs... I may upgrade to leaf battery modules if the experiment succeeds.

Charging system will be a 42V, 5A scooter charger, or 2... Running off a 1600w inverter in a fire box. 😉

This will all be put in my 1998 R34 Skyline GT. It has the RB20-Neo engine (no turbo) which delivers good top end power peaking out at 114kw on paper... but due to the short stroke of the RB20, it's a little flat down low. Hoping the E-turbos will add torque at lower rpm.

From what I've read the RB20 engine management system can handle fuel and air measurement up to 210kw as the GTS-T Skyline having the same system... I've yet to check the airflow meter voltages, but I won't be going anywhere near that; the target output will be up to 150kw.

The parts are all cheap and plentiful as they're common e-bike, RC and 2nd hand car parts. Any thoughts on whether it'll work as planned?.
