The BMW i3 / S1000RR combination sounds awesome! I hope you'll have the time to devote to a detailed integration build series. Looking forward to seeing another interesting JNH build project.
I love motorcycle engines in cars, thanks for sharing. I wish there was a detailed video on putting a motorcycle engine in a vw bug, would be lots of fun with the additional power...Dave/WBA
@@Jerod_Helt That is not easy. I applaud your ambition. It is pretty much scratch building a whole double drivetrain. Please don't delay and post everything. I can't wait. I had an idea that might work. Mount the bike engine with it's own diff that is parallel with the existing diff. Then connect the two diffs with two chain drives, each connecting of the matching output flanges of the two diffs. But, the output flanges might not be adequately supported to carry the side loadings of a chain drive. Oh well. Maybe not. Back to the drawing board.
@@ratmanbrian the existing drivetrain is off to one side already so the placement is not a problem but the differential situation is the biggest unknown at this point.
@@Jerod_Helt I think you might have to remove the electric drive and install a completely new chain drive diff. ( maybe can use the internals from an i3 diff to preserve the geometry.). Then reinstall the electric drive with a solid shaft through the original diff so that you can chain drive the new diff from the original ( now locked) diff. Adding the bike engine then has several options.
The results you get when you’re trying to search for cars converted into 3 wheelers/autocycles that aren’t the usual ones (Morgan, slingshot, vanderhall)
Watching a 24 fps judder fest with ZERO motion blur makes me want to gouge my eyes out. Try 30fps 1/50th shutter, and shutter priority mode auto exposure or whatever you have to do to lock the shutter speed so you have proper motion blur next time. Love the Fiat, though. Honestly, I couldn't decide between a Honda, Fiat, or Triumph (or if there's something similar that I don't know of) if I were gonna do a similar build.
Glad you could join us! A BMW i3 S1000RR would be Amazing!
That was such a fun day. Thanks again for the invite!
BMW K1600 (inline 6 engine) would sound better and it's shaft drive that I'm speculating might be simplified on connecting it to a differential.

An early Triumph Spitfire with a 1800cc Goldwing engine is my dream car.
That would be very cool!
Thanks for the take on my car Jerod! It was fun hanging out and getting to drive your little rocket.
Absolutely! Thanks for letting me Drive your amazing creation!
@@Jerod_Helt is a 2008 Hyundai Tiburon light enough to fit a sport bike engine I’d like to know because I want to do a swap like this.
4:26 DREAM BUILD!! The i3 with the S1000RR would be amazing. Liked/Subbed/Notifications 💪
That BMW project would be sweet!!! 👍🏻
It is a great joy and exciting every time you post a story - many greetings from Denmark...
Thank you!

why not do a video then?
@@jarnosaarinen4583 I made the comment to hopefully inspire some other utuber to build one. The ones I have found don't get into any details.
Porsche or Subaru engines are a better option, especially if you’re going to use the car every day.
@@chrishenniker5944 I like the Subaru option, which gives it modern dependability...Dave/WBA
I dig SFMatt’s channel for sure, I’m really hoping all the LA TH-camrs made it through the fires ok 🤞🏻
Looks like a nice outing, great to see build that can go on a long trip.
That Fiat is just the coolest thing ever!
I remember sitting in one brand new still on the showroom floor.
That leaf is the future. Homemade hybrids, very economical and environmentally friendly.
Neat!
I always look forward to your videos.
Thanks, and Woof to Walter.
omg that camera idea LOL
WoW, that was awesome!!!!
I love the Honda. I’d love to get my hands one one when I’m older if there’s any still around then
Please fit a vw rabbit chin spoiler, the big one
The I3 is rear-wheel-drive, so is the plan to drive the front wheels with the bike engine? That is quite a challenge.
The plan is to have both the electric motor and bike engine in the back.

That BMW i3 project will be wicked! I love the i3 with range extender. Very interested in what your plans are RE gas tank size.
duuude an i3 hybrid racecar would be sick
I agree and they’re getting pretty cheap
I’m putting a hayabusa engine in my 2006 Chevy cobalt coupe
@@joeythekid5042 awesome!
Now I have to make a Yamaha R1 powered Miata/Fiat 500 Abarth and join the club.
i have a 1974 Triumph spitfire that im putting a 1998 artic cat thundercat 1000 motor in it
Wish I was closer to join in my R1 car😂
Muito show mano

Say it with me...AnnJellUs crest not angel and btw...nice Fiat.
Jerod - on the chance you, or anyone else that knows sees this, what seats are you using in your Fiat?
I bought the cheapest seats available at summit racing 😀
@@Jerod_Helt they have a lower back… I’m looking at an MG Midget. The current seats can’t recline with the hard top on. Headrest hits. No good. Thanks
i wish you would make a lotus elise with a 200hp motorbike engine and saving some weight by doing so, getting sub 700kg(1543lb)
👍👍✌️
Any chance on building for a customer? I apologize, I’m new to your channel. I’m all about it if possible. Thank you!
Sorry, I don’t work on other peoples cars. I barely have time to work on my own projects
You have any problems with the clutch holding up over time?
No issues so far and I’ve put several thousand miles on the car since I rebuilt it.
What time does it start?
I think it starts around 7:00-8:00 and ends around 10:00

The Nissan leaf ruined the vibe..
It was by far the crowd favorite!
