Thanks for including the units for people outside US ❤

Any time!

I live inside the U.S. and appreciate both units being displayed for all interested parties. Good work is done using all measuring systems! :)

Blows my mind that you are unemployed. Any smart employer that sees what you have been doing should hire you instantly... Cad, design, fabrication, engineering... You have a lot of skills that could really help a company. Just saying...

[@ElectricSuperCar]

That would be awesome! Or maybe I just start my own business of converting cars

[@ryantremblay8006]

@@ElectricSuperCar True. I would imagine you would be pretty happy doing that (With the right customers of course...)

Easily one of my favorite channels on KZbin right now. Just real knowledge, applied and explained clearly, with great editing to boot! You are crushing it man, keep up the good work. Here's hoping you can either turn this channel into your business, or get into business for yourself in fab/engineering. Clearly you have the chops!

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Wow, thanks!

[@exportedafrican]

One concern with the mounting plate is that it isn’t reinforced for a large section around the mounting bolts to your subframe. You might want to consider a right angle stabilizer piece being added to avoid the vibration and bounce caused by the single plane attachment. Even with the 2 bolts in the horizontal position - you still will have vibration from the distance. Add a small 1/2” piece on the inner edge and you will be significantly stronger.

[@alanl3511]

You are by far the fabricator extraordinaire.. your patience and perseverance are top notch… carry on….

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Thanks Friend!

[@stevet8631]

As my father always said after a successful installation of anything… *slaps the thing* “that ain’t goin’ nowhere!” Congrats on this milestone!

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Thanks!

[@mabettaja]

Welds do not look bad anymore, completely usable for the application. Especially after cleaning. Like someone commented, take measurements from ready brackets, save cad files and sell kits once done.

[@ElectricSuperCar]

I am keeping all my files

[@AdamTheVAST]

Feels like we’re getting so close! Can’t wait to see this on the road

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Just found the best channel for Electric DYI ! I i used to watch EV TV , but Jack Ricard (may he RIP)has gone to a better place, he was a pioneer in EV conversions., Must say your channel rocks!

Thanks Friend!

[@lonnieschreiner5879]

Congratulations on the milestone. Motor install looks very good.

[@ElectricSuperCar]

[@dontcallmethat7240]

That weight on the front left tire looks good. It makes sense to sit in a car while measuring, when figuring out weight distribution. Great work!

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Very true!

[@dwk5234]

Jeremy, congrats on your hard work to perfect your design and fabrication skills…your results are amazing and inspiring!

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Thank you very much!

[@Patriot3]

Gives it the three-finger shocker check. Determines all is good. I'm amazed at how well this motor fits in that hole. How much measuring went into this initially, or was it a make-it-fit no matter what plan? I hope the channel is taking off. The video length seems just right. I'm inspired to to get fired from my job and start my own build. I have a fireball table at work that we shoved in a corner we don't even use. I wish I could send it to you. Really enjoy the build.

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Thanks for the comment!

[@segredosdotiosam9989]

Dude ,you are the coolest EV guy on KZbin.

[@ElectricSuperCar]

[@tedforringer9124]

Would it make sense to sell kits? Once you've figured out the swap (motors, batteries, mounts, electronics) could you sell parts and directions?

[@ElectricSuperCar]

I could. Not sure anyone would buy it.

[@SeanBZA]

@@ElectricSuperCar If you are not selling kits at least you can make a little by selling the cut plans, and likely it would make people who want save a couple of hundred hours on the conversion.

[@Decenium]

idk why but its always very calming watching your work, just clear, clean, solving problems as they arise, good stuff

Im a retired renovator , you keep old metal parts, i keep all kinds of leftover construction materials, never know when things get usefull ,, one of my favorite places is Restore, build and finished a whole 3 Bedroom basement Apartment with " Recycled Junk", built in Oven, and Granite Kitchen.🤑

[@ElectricSuperCar]

LOL!

[@SeanBZA]

Would suggest on the flat section to take a simple steel plate and weld it on the top, around 20mm wide by 6mm thick, to provide a little stiffness. Same on the bottom , at least at the front, as that motor will be attempting to flex the aluminium subframe, and letting the steel take most of the torque instead of the casting will help with fatigue life of the frame. Does not need to be fully welded, only around 25% at the ends, and then in the middle another 25% of the overall length, so there is a slight bit of flex. Run 3 welds, overlapping the last 2 so as to get full cover on the new plate, which will make it stiffer.

[@serdiefgotreb]

Amazing progress, I love the detail-oriented mindset that you have, and also how clear and efficient you are at communicating your ideas. If I was doing the project, I would try to make a nice chamfer in all of those laser-cut parts. Paint hates sticking to sharp edges, and water/salts love to start eating away metal from those sharp edges. It will make your project last a lot longer and all things considered, it doesn't add that much time. Try to remove as few welds as possible, and also try some practice pieces before you weld the final piece, it will give you insight into what you can improve.

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Thanks for the tips!

[@RealRickCox]

Great work Jeremy!! It's fascinating to see the process of fabricating these custom parts. I'd love to see how you get some of these things designed.

Keeping my eyes peeled to see the outcome! So far it all looks awesome! In the future I'd like to carry out a similar conversion to my family car, only difference is that my car was way less expensive! ;D

[@ElectricSuperCar]

That would be cool!

[@J.P.__]

Looks very good gravity-wise, but the bolt spacers youput in will do almost nothing to stop the two plates from beding (to the left when in the car). If you add an othogonal piece of flat steel as a brace between the two blates it will be very rigid with just a relatively thin plate.

[@spongesurf12]

I haven't yet gotten into much metal work (though I'd like to) so currently I seem to hoard scrap wood, and it has definitely come in useful more than a few times on new projects.

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Nice

Man thank you so much for such a great channel, providing instructions, inspirations. I'm building a widebody super boxster right now and hope to replicate what you're doing with this gt3 and turn it into a AWD tesla powered supercar with good range. or I actually even thought of the idea of electric front drive with keeping the 3.2L porsche engine in the back.

@@ElectricSuperCar Thanks, hope to connect with you sometime, mine will take a while, working on the body first.

[@stevenbalderstone709]

Amazing work! One thought: if you wanted to move on to your next project more quickly, could you just repair the Porsche's panel damage and put on an after-market body-kit rather than doing a full custom body.

[@Tom-evnut]

Will you be doing any oil pump modifications to allow the running at this high and angle of the motor compared to the tesla installation? Cooler sits horizontal on a tesla.

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Great question. I don't think so. I am not running in reverse so no pump change is needed. I also looked pretty closely at the oil pick up point and don't think I need to change anything there either. Check out Weber Auto video kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIe5hWZ8eZhjm7ssi=cCJHexFzBv8zxTHi At time point 25:25 there is a pretty good shot of the internals.

[@Tom-evnut]

@ElectricSuperCar i would say you might be cutting it close as you have the motor rotated nearly 45 degrees. With an oil pick up better safe then sorry in my opinion.

[@user-gf3jy4gr8r]

Why didn't you design that bushing to be an inch or two higher so you could pass a socket through the supports to reach that bolt? That way in the future you could drop the whole subframe without removing everything first.

Nice mount however you lost all torque rigidity in your new mount. Not how tesla has the bushes 90 degree to the output rotation and you have it parallel. Guess another redesign is in order.

[@fredmols8428]

@ElectricSuperCar. It seems to me that your math is little off. Tesla front SDU should be 85-90kg. With your heavy duty awesome mounts it should be 88-93kg weight added to the car. I do not know how did you got 68kg?

[@ElectricSuperCar]

I think, the stripped weight, I had the seats in. Currently the seats are out. I agree the weight should be a little more.
