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...
That would be awesome! Or maybe I just start my own business of converting cars
@@ElectricSuperCar True. I would imagine you would be pretty happy doing that (With the right customers of course...)
@@ElectricSuperCar People like you shouldn't be working under a company, starting your own company and providing employment to others is a good idea. You definitely succeed in your company
Employed by youtube
@@ElectricSuperCarIf you can find a way to ship to Canada and clear customs, I'd love one of these cars. 😎
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! :)
Easily one of my favorite channels on TH-cam 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!
Wow, thanks!
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.
As my father always said after a successful installation of anything… *slaps the thing* “that ain’t goin’ nowhere!”
Congrats on this milestone!
Thanks!
You are by far the fabricator extraordinaire.. your patience and perseverance are top notch… carry on….
Thanks Friend!
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.
I am keeping all my files
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!
Feels like we’re getting so close! Can’t wait to see this on the road
getting closer!
I would love to see some great tool sponsors get behind this channel. Your work is fantastic and original
Maybe one day!
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.
Thanks for the comment!
Congratulations on the milestone. Motor install looks very good.
Thanks 👍
Dude ,you are the coolest EV guy on TH-cam.
Wow, thanks!
Jeremy, congrats on your hard work to perfect your design and fabrication skills…your results are amazing and inspiring!
Thank you very much!
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!
Very true!
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.🤑
LOL!
idk why but its always very calming watching your work, just clear, clean, solving problems as they arise, good stuff
Glad to hear that!
I've loved watching this build come together! Keep it up!
Wow! Thanks so much for the support!
Would it make sense to sell kits? Once you've figured out the swap (motors, batteries, mounts, electronics) could you sell parts and directions?
I could. Not sure anyone would buy it.
@@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.
Yay, one motor done 👍
one more to go!
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.
I may need a picture or drawing. send to electricsupercar@gmail.com
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.
Thanks for the tips!
Awesome and outstanding as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along.
More to come!
Love seeing the progress!
More to come!
everything that you make it's just so clean and engineered
Thanks!
Looking good, thanks for sharing your videos. 👍
Thanks 👍
Congrats on a huge accomplishment! Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences.
Thanks so much!
Building this while Balancing the weight That will be good As your previous project was also good but i think it was slipping because of unbalanced weight
Nice work
Thanks for the comment!
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.
Nice
I've really enjoyed watching your progress! Great to see that front motor finally finding its home! Looking forward to the next one! Thanks!
Thanks for the comment!
AWESOME! Milestone!
Thanks!!
great job man.... really well done!
Thanks Friend!
Great to see the car coming together, Jeremy. Your welding skills are vastly improved with all the practice, and the bushing hack is such a good idea. Looking forward to the next video, and what the product will be. Keep up the fantastic work, and I look forward to many more project videos.
Thanks 👍
Nice job on those motor mounts! Always satisfying to get stuff on the car!
Couldn't agree more!
Excellent ... as usual.
Thank you! Cheers!
SendCutSend make me a blast shield for my action cam..
Would be nice if you could integrate the Taycan instrument cluster! I love your videos!!!
Noted!
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.
Wahoo! Another great episode and step closer to being in the road. Sure appreciate these vids. 🥳
More to come!
Awesome video!
Glad you enjoyed it
very excited for the gt now moreee
Nice!
great job !!!
Thank you! Cheers!
One down, one to go, thanks 👍💪✌
Right on!
Being your own boss is very rewarding. Employers tend to exploit your knowledge and work ethic to their advantage. Enjoy love your videos very informative
Thanks for the comment!
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.
That is awesome!
@@ElectricSuperCar Thanks, hope to connect with you sometime, mine will take a while, working on the body first.
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.
Thanks for the comment!
awesome🔥
Thanks 🔥
Love it
Thanks!
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
That would be cool!
This is cool ngl
Thanks!
First motor in and in place! Nice. Will be interesting to so how the motor and mounts behave during driving and corners
We shall see
It's s 2-seater so I can join you 😅
Another great video!
Everyone that makes 'something' will have a pile of 'junk' they see value in. I have a big pile of wires and scrap metal I can't get rid off...
It's a great feeling when you need something specific and you actually find it in your junk pile 😂
Nice!
🎉 Congrats on getting that in! Also, good shoulders. 😆
Yes! Thank you!
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.
Good thought!
Awesome ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
You are doing alone and doing great and almost perfect 🖖🏻🖖🏻🖖🏻
Best wishes 🎉🎉🎉
Keep it up 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Thank you so much 😁
Scrap steel pile 👍
Glad I am not alone!
Nice! Your motor looks grate and your shoulders ;)
Don't forget: ,, you are learning by doing"
Thanks for video.
Thanks 👍
Reduce reuse and recycle, you’re not a hoarder you’re an artist. You kinda remind me of myself in my younger days when I enjoyed metal fabricating. Nice job so far. 🎉
Thanks Friend!
It is very fun to watch your problem solving in action, and your progress!
Thanks friend!
Hi great job
Thanks!
When it will be completed
That thumbnail, are you telling us that you're gonna use that design? If so , yasssss. Cant fking wait.
More to come!
😍
While welding aim more on thicker part. It needs more energy for heating up. (Sorry for my poor english)
Thanks for the suggestion!
The guy from Donut Media: "EMOO - Electric Motor Officially On"
nice!
I have been watching your building with amazement. I am curious, what type of steel are you using for your motor mount bracket?
HRPO A36/1008 Mild steel
Comment to support the channel!
Thanks!
Great work! I was wondering what electric climate compressor are you planning to use?
I have already purchased. Need to figure it out and make a video
Thanks! I just started working for a company that designs and builds them. So excited for that video. @@ElectricSuperCar
I assume you have heard of Edison motors? You should definitely sign up to be one of their installers.
Sign me up!
Noticed you are using the hoist to manipulate the heavy parts.. have you put any thoughts into making a jib crane to help you out?
Might be able to use the hoist frame to support the slide rails for a light gantry crane .. dunno.. just a thought
Nice!
Awsome videos, but welding without ventilation and the face over the smoke not so good.
@ElectricSuperCar People like you shouldn't be working under a company, starting your own company and providing employment to others is a good idea. You will definitely succeed in your company
I might give it a try!
"Special welding table" and "press". its not stupid if it works ✅✅
Nice!
my steel pile is like 6 pallets full I have a buddy at a welding shop and I get pieces all the time :) I am a little horderish .. tools are still one of my largest collections, only cause im to broke to have someone else fix it ..
Glad I am not alone!
And there is my last piece of my "TH-camr mentions other YouTouber" bingo puzzle 😂
#FireBallTools
You should develop a hybrid EV Tesla motor frunk kit for the Cayman.
Interesting 🤔
Isn't it...
I hoard scrap metal. The first step was admitting it. But unlike small wood scraps I never use the small metal scraps get used all the time
Nice!
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.
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
th-cam.com/video/FVVT3FD30eY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=cCJHexFzBv8zxTHi
At time point 25:25 there is a pretty good shot of the internals.
@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.
We all have a box of old cords and cables.
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.
Still can reach the bolt, just a little tighter quarters
❣️❣️❣️
Thanks for the comment!
how are you not getting weld splatter putting holes in your vest?
Who says I am not?
👋👍
Thanks!
No idea how you can do these projects without a lathe. I use it constantly.
It is on my wish list, along with the welding table
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.
How is it you have a car lift/welder/blowup spray booth but no bandsaw/drill press? 🤔
I know, right?!?
@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?
I think, the stripped weight, I had the seats in. Currently the seats are out. I agree the weight should be a little more.
what was your job/role before doing this full time?
I worked in the medical device field
@@ElectricSuperCar its very cool that you are flexing your Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Knowledge in your "FUN"employment, even though your career was in another industry.

man i don't know if the metal you are using is aluminum or not but if not pls get the parts that build powder code they will look gorgeous and they would rust
Thanks for the tip!
Congratulations! Awesome job, and your welding is getting noticeably better as well.
Also really interesting to see the changes in weight and even the distribution across the 4 wheels, (and thanks for the metric conversion).
I'll be interested to see the end results, hope you don't forget to factor in the weight of the driver! 😁
Thanks! Will do!
Is there a way to directly contact you? I had an idea for you however I could not find an email address anywhere on your channel.

Have you had time to repair the car damage yet?
Most damage has been removed. I have not yet started to build the new body panels

P r o m o s m ✔️
Scrap metal, no those are parts you haven't found where they go yet.
LOL!
Why would you want to shorten your range and increase your weight to make extra hp useless? AWD, yes, but electric, I don't think so.
Weight will be about the same. 3x the horsepower is not for everyone, but something that I like.
@fireballtool if anyone would appreciate your engineering and precision, it would be this guy!
Id save steel to its expensive 🫰 lol but wow just climbing the stiars to complete what a gorgeous bracket tho and its solid looking in the frunk 😂 but cant wait for it to be done soon and just be a beast in performance beating the cyber truck 🤣
Thanks for the comment!
