Subaru EZ30R Powered Porsche 912 - ENGINE AND RADIATOR MOUNTING! | Porsche Engine Swap!

[@justinschibley976]

I’m full addicted. I’m going to need you to do a video a week. This once a month is not cutting it. I binged your entire catalog last month and now I have to wait!!!!???? Ugh. Love everything your doing keep it up.

[@ChatNoir443]

Did I miss something? Is there a video of the green Porsche driving?

[@rennch.]

Not yet

[@kingcal53]

Good to see you back, Michael. Brilliant project.

[@cupoft9917]

If i may racecar rads solid mounting is ok for a short time. However daily's etc some kind of rubber bushing might prevent vibration fatigue? But clever people like the engineer you have coming should advise.

[@larrykay6606]

Look at you. So comfortable with MIG welding now you don't even bother with a shield. Watch out for retina burn!

[@rennch.]

Old dog, new tricks.

[@lewiseig5432]

factory brackets will be awesome with the passenger side cooler, driver's side is easy, too. Did you try putting a rubber isolator to the top mount and bolting it to the back of the headlight bucket. (you should have rubber isolators on top and bottom mounts) It's hard to visualize with the fender off. But just follow how the factory did it. Those oil coolers worked great for my 3.6 conversion. Watch out for tire rubbing when the wheel is turned and suspension is compressed. Go as far forward as possible

Great to see a video uploaded, started to go through Rennch withdraws.

[@namtech425]

I want a porsche 911, but they were never available in our country, so I am going to build one in a few years, and that is the engine I want in mine. This is so insightful and helps out on a few questions I had.

[@cramiro71]

Good luck with those kits!

[@rennch.]

I appreciate it!

[@MarkRuminski]

Pretty damn exciting to see that engine in there!! Well done!

[@HeroArt-n5z]

Thank you for the videos… I look forward to buying the kit for my swap!

[@rennch.]

Ready when you are!

[@TheJediJoker]

Love how this is going! ✋ Any plans for radiator isolation? Something as simple as a rubber washer might be enough.

[@JonathanAdams-z8r]

Trailblazer! Very cool CSF has signed on. I’m doing an EJ25 swap into a ‘72 Super Beetle and have found how critical and time consuming locating the radiator and cooling lines are. Good to hear you have them on your team! 👍👍

[@robertferrell8518]

You’ve really developed into quite an innovative, fabricator and it it really is exciting to see your creations and their in results!! Thank you for the great tutorials and your confidence in showcasing your ideas !!

[@alman-world]

Hi Michael - missed you. Love your work!

[@rennch.]

I miss hanging out with you guys too!

[@liambrady9852]

If the rads go where the original oil coolers go then why are you not using the original oil cooler mounts?

[@jcg_Yamaha_CM]

Yes original brackets and porsche mounting which these coolers are already designed for would be easiest/best, i guess he didnt have any to hand?

[@DS246416]

great video!

[@BrettsGarage]

I have 69’ 912. Was thinking of an ej205 swap and using Subaru gears to flip the trans. What are the benefits of the ez30r? I imagine it’s a bit heavier.

[@michaelbiegel6973]

Great work as usual Michael, but please, please, wear some glasses while drilling, cutting, grinding.

[@RustyRatchetGarage]

I’d love to get those coolers for my swap. I did the Mitsubishi 4g63 swap like 10 years ago

[@rennch.]

Stay tuned!

[@trevormyrus7981]

With the oil cooler/radiators, so close to the front tire(s), will you have a screen/guard to protect them from rocks/debris?

[@rennch.]

Yes, for sure.

[@polloloci21]

😂- that intro killed me. 😂

[@rennch.]

😂😂😂

[@thomasle6936]

Crazy are you doing these swaps locally? If so I’m in!!!

[@rennch.]

If you mean locally in LA, then yes.

[@ez_isaac1394]

Is that the crazy squatter helping you

[@rennch.]

No, that was the bodyguard.

[@mattbennett9593]

Good to see you so positive with so much going on. I assume you can lock your garage from the inside. Handy hint… Always wear your Blundstone boots. No one can take your laces, ever. Love your work mate. Cheers

[@davidclarke3643]

just an idea, if you're marketing a kit for the porsche i think it would be a better item if all the fasteners were metric as the rest of the car would be from the factory. its so frustrating when custom items are supplied with imperial bolts for metric vehicles.

[@rennch.]

I don't have anything imperial in my whole garage, lol.

[@davidclarke3643]

@@rennch. must have misunderstood when you said you drilled 2x 1/8inch holes. good luck

[@thusmarshal8815]

With how good you are with cars I'd like to see your view on a sedan like the 2008 legacy ez30r powered would be awesome. Always great videos keep it up.

[@NeoAndersonReloaded]

Nice🎉

[@joshuahenry3228]

I also in LGB approach

[@drreyeswellness3870]

Nice work. I'm not a fan of the 914 engine.

[@billgriffiths1685]

Yipee I'm 1st again. UK

[@telecomwiz2004]

I got an advert in the first two minutes :(

[@rennch.]

Damn, you should've had one right away.

[@robertferrell8518]

@11:08 The fitment looks like it’ll do OK, but the placement of that oil cooler is concerning. Is there something to prevent the wheel debris splash although majority of it will be thrown to the rear of the car there’s still gonna be some debris rocks that are held into the tread or on inclement days mud road dirt whatever some portion of that is going to be thrown forward.😳😳 If the wheel well acts also as a baffle or deflector then my concern is moot. But if it does not fully protect that rear facing surface of the oil cooler, then it could get loaded up, thereby diminishing the effectiveness or limiting the cooling ability. Maybe my concerns are premature but I thought it was just something to bring up at this point. You may have already answered that issue anyway.

[@rennch.]

They are indeed, premature.
