Rough Layout
This rough layout illustrates one method of mounting an electric motor to the existing transmission. Modeled below, one and two Warp 9 inch DC motors mount to a stock Fiero flywheel inside an aluminum bell housing. Other concepts under evaluation are multiple motor setups, direct drive (without the use of a transmission) systems, and similar systems with larger motors. The use of an aluminum or composite flywheel is also under examination.
