Wait, does the dual motor mean you're converting the Cayman to AWD aswell? Man this build keeps getting better, keep up the great work!
Yep! That is the plan!
@@ElectricSuperCarthat's just plain crazy! best of luck!!
Si senor
@ElectricSuperCar awesome I sent you a message on Instagram.
Is there enough space for drive shafts in the front axle and uprights? Or are you using a 911 front axle?
This is some seriously cool stuff!! I came from JRE's cross over for the EV HMMV, and have been subbed ever since. Cant wait to watch this over the next year or two! Also, as an engineer I am continually impressed with your technical abilities. Not to mention your patience!
Thanks Friend!
Same thing brought me here.
I always thought Porsche made cool cars, now we finally know why!
Epic engineering!
Is it just me or there is a cool joke hidden somewhere in there 😂
@@sibmsibm yeah I meant from the never ending coolant hahaha
9:20 as a wise man once said "It can't be seized if it's liquid"
Awesome job on drivetrain removal and great idea for supports on it. Glad to see you are being as safe as possible as well. Keep up the awesome work, and I can't wait to see the Porsche GTE done, lol. It will definitely be unique.
Thanks Friend!
@Electric SuperCar i appreciate the thanks but the compliments are well deserved for you. You have done some great work for the building of EVs starting as a hobby. I will always support the work you do since it is nothing short of amazing.
Seems like you'll have a lot of good parts that you can sell off.... it'll be interesting to see how much you'll be able to get for the parts vs what you had to pay for the EV components. I'm hoping you'll come close to breaking even.
That would be nice!
Yeah, you should be able to sell the motor transmission unit
@@ElectricSuperCar and who knows, maybe someone out there is looking for some random Porche bolt and you can pay it forward!
@@ElectricSuperCar There are SO many parts supply companies! You should be getting in touch with one (or five) to see how much gold you just dug out of that car!
And you have proof the engine was running when you pulled the motor!
Loving this build !
Thanks Friend!
It is pretty wild, not only that you are dropping a powerful Tesla motor into a Porsche, but TWO! As always it is a treat to see how you approach a big project like this, but also it's valuable to see the costs. For the time when dreaming of doing something like this, shifts to actually doing something like this! 😎
Thanks Dean!
Really glad I found your channel. This is so interesting, and you walk us through the process brilliantly. Can't wait to see the end result!
Thanks Friend!
Yes boys! Porsche project upload! *sings in Pointer Sisters: "I'm so excited... and I just can't hide it" ❤
LOL!
Excited to see this build progress, nice work!
Thanks! More to come!
We had a 2012 passat and it's PCV valve would send a lot of oil into the intake manifold. It looks like Porsche does the same
Interesting 🤔
Porsche is owned by VAG (Volkswagen Auto Group), so it would make sense that they would try to share parts where possible. If anyone is curious, the full list of brands owned by VAG is Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, CUPRA, Ducati, Lamborghini, Porsche, Scania, SEAT, SKODA, Volkswagen, and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles.
@@Beef4Dinner22 Precisely why I mentioned the Passat. BTW, the dealer wanted to replace the entire valve cover assembly just to put a new PCV valve; VW doesn't sell the valve by itself. I found an aftermarket seller from Germany that makes the valve and got it online for like $25 plus shipping to the US.
Lots of cars put oil into the intake, PCV systems are woefully under designed in most cars.
Super pro . I loved how easy you made it to disassemble the motor from the car , know i am sure that electric mototrs are way cooler than gas ones .
Nice!
AWESOME! Been following you ever since meeting you at High Voltage. Please don't stop with all this... it's very educational and inspiring. Can't wait to work on my 356!
Thanks Friend!
keep up the great work... very interesting and fun to watch ^^
Thanks Friend!
Wow! Congrats on getting all that out. It amazes me how much work you're putting into this let alone the video editing to post these vids. Thanks for keeping us in the loop on your progress.
Thanks Friend!
Love your videos!! Awesome work!! You make it look so easy haha
Thanks Friend!
Thanks!
your progress is amazing!! great video absulotly amazing how one man can take the motor and the gear all by him self!!! 😄
Thanks Friend!
Thats alot of work. Good job. Really love the progress
Thanks Brenden!
Keep up the excellent work. I sure envy your balls to undertake these types of projects. You are the man.
Thanks Fernando!
his balls or his money?
Another great video 😊 keep up the good work! 💪
Thanks Friend!
Fascinating, Jeremy…I’ll watch this two or three times to make sure I don’t miss anything…thanks!
Nice!
coolest dad ever! excited to see more!!!!!
❤️
Firstly, Congratulations on completing your own First DIY Car , that is unbelievably epic , very proud of you bro!
Crazy thought , why don’t you make that Porsche AWD , 2 Electric motors ??
Could be fun?
Great idea!
All I have to say is Great Work!!!!! You have more patience than I do. You should be able to sell that motor, the way you pulled it you have a lot of the extras to go with it. Love your work.
Thanks Pat!
Great video. Would love to see a video on how you organize and deal with the parts taken out of the car!
LOL! Right now there are several piles. I need to sell them
great to see you still managed to do it on your own! good luck!
Thanks Andy!
I am really enjoying this build. Keep up the great work and try on some safety glasses while working under the car. Safety first.
Man these cars are so complex and well engineered. Very fun to watch. Excited for future videos 😁
More to come!
Mahalo for this very clear and logical illustration of engine extraction! The fact this could be an AWD EV in foture is mind boggling! Looking forward to seeing all intermediate steps, though. All your videos are informative. Aloha 'til next time.
Thanks Friend! Aloha!
This is such an awesome project!
Thanks Friend!
what a daunting task, but epic
Super challenging!
I'm exhausted just by watching this
Can't wait for the engine install
You and me both!
This is great keep it up
Holy cow! Thanks Bill!!!
Jeez this is so impressive!
Thanks Friend!
Very interesting. Alois RUF and California Motors made a conversion with a Porsche 997 with electric engine in 2010.
your "ü" in tschüss was perfect🎉 babbel must have done a pretty good job - greetings from Munich, home of the Oktoberfest
Nice! 👍
12:24 yeah, those are called grease smudges!! Something that old-school mechanics know well!
Thanks for the info!
Seems like you are really speeding through this build. Good work.
Thanks Mark!
Really love your content Jeremy. I've been a "battery junkie" for years, building LiFePO4 and Li-Ion packs for various different applications. So, I can totally appreciate what you're doing. I don't know if you're familiar with Richard from Electric Classic Cars, but if so, I have a suggestion, if you'll indulge me. Richard is a massive car guy and has been completely bitten by the electric conversion bug. That's great, but he spends half his time bad-mouthing his old love of ICE powered cars. It's like an ex-drunk, or ex-smoker lecturing people about their bad habits. It gets to be tiresome and off-putting after a while.
I do believe that "home-made" electric conversions are super cool, but that doesn't mean that they're necessarily cooler than internal combustion cars. The sound is the main difference. Not obnoxious, open-header, straight pipe, loud for the sake of being loud sound, but just a purely-tuned symphony of sound. Think of a 2004 Ferrari V-10 F1 car blasting through Eau Rouge at Spa-Francorchamps. Or, a Rolls-Royce Merlin powered V-12, P-51 Mustang on a full-power, high speed, low pass. There's a beauty in those things that electrically propelled vehicles just can't come close to.
So, my humble suggestion is to continue doing the great work you're doing without denigrating the thing that I'm guessing even you yourself had a passion for years ago. The two can co-exist without maligning each other.
Well, just my two cents and keep up the great work. I'm really looking forward to where you're taking us with this Porsche build! :)
Cheers, Sev
Thanks for the suggestion!
Nice start))
Thanks 😅
In case anyone was wondering why heat works to loosen a stubborn bolt, metal expands when heated (and shrinks when cooled) its not as drastic as say wood, but it is enough to back out of the threads just enough to pull it free
Thanks for the comment!
OMG a new episode ❤❤❤
Thanks for the comment!
I think the whole video recording have become better, no echo anymore.Great content and the wooden frame is genius !! so sad didn't see the weight after the engine is out.
I will get some weights
I love this
Thanks Friend!
I should put the same motors in my project 72 VW bus that would be epic! Im definitely considering if the motors can be available at this price!
Evpartsguy is the way to go!
I will probably give up in the first minute. This must be crazy hard doing it alone (Even videoing is so hard). Thanks
Thanks for the comment!
Did you weigh the car after removing the engine? Would be interesting to track the weight deltas as more parts come off then you start adding them back
Will do!
I think after a couple years on the road, a lot of electric cars are going to have dirt kicked on the bottom of them as well, of course you won’t have leaky oil attracting as much grease, but a lot of road dirt probably comes from tires, or salt and gravel or dust and dirt.
fair point
I agree - most EV builders don't have much dirt on the bottom of their cars because they barely get driven. The Tesla that the components were salvaged from was clearly thoroughly washed before being stripped down, and as a bonus has a full belly pan (like all EVs, needed to protect the battery and wiring).
Talk about a close fit under the lift!! Good job!
Too close!
@@ElectricSuperCar sheer luck? I'll assume that you measured first, and knew it would be close.
These Porsche engines are very wide because of the horizontally opposed configuration, but an inline transverse engine would have had the same issue with this type of lift.
Great project! Need to control tesla computer to porsche computer
Jeremy, I'm excited to see where this build goes! Watching how much trouble you had with the width of the Tesla rear track on the K-1, I'm curious to see how you deal with that here. I know you said the design and customization was a big part of what you enjoyed in the previous build, so I'm sure you have something cooked up to integrate that width into the more narrow Porsche. I know the chaps at ZeroEV in the UK couldn't fit the large drive unit in their Boxter conversion, but they were keeping the stock Porsche suspension and squeezing the drive unit into the old engine compartment. He said it was close, but who knows how "close" it really was??? Keep the videos coming and best of luck on the new build!!!
Thanks Friend!
Hi! Awesome project! Ive been watching your channel since you started your blue supercar and have been watching ever since. I want to start a project like that one as soon as I have the financial means for it. (I just started to go to university fir engineering)
I like your style and the way you cut the videos. It is very informative and entertaining!
Im German and:
“Dein Deutsch ist tatsächlich ganz ok.” ;)
(“sowieso” does not mean “average” or “kind of ok” it means “anyways”)
Awesome! Thank you!
Great job man, was hoping the engine would drop down through the middle of the lift. Wheww, that was close lol.
So close!
Watching you pull apart this Porsche is making me amazed at how compact it is. They have crammed SO MUCH STUFF into these areas of the car, it's incredible. It's a stark difference between the American boats of the '60s and '70s, and even newer too, compared to this. And yes, I know it's a lot of time since then but still!
Thanks for the comment!
All makes and models are pretty well packed now, and the mid-engine Cayman is more of a challenge than most, creating some of the access issues.
@@brianb-p6586 The mid-engine part is a good point... Seeing videos of people working on the Corvette C8 shows similar space constraints, although not quite as bad.
That will be insane.
Let's hope so!
Man that looks like so much fun. I'm grateful there are so many of you doing these swaps. Somethign I dream of doing some day. Right now it's just so expensive and this old retired guy can't stretch 15K. But ya know. God is good. If he wants me to accomplish this, it will happen.
👍
Another great video!! Thanks for putting this content out!
How/why did you choose to use a Tesla motor versus anything else out there? Just curious as to the thought process!
Just for you my friend!
Tesla motors are the LS swap of the electric world. Fairly inexpensive, great power, easy to work on
I'm very curious how you are tackling the CANBUS integration. Will it arm the airbags and safety systems if it doesn't know the engine is on? And all the other thousand things CANBUS runs based on data from the engine transmission etc. I know it can be done but I'm curious how in this case you manage it. I really enjoy your content.
Coming soon!
The airbag control unit is more closely tied to the ABS module (which handles wheelspeed sensors, among others) than the engine . If the ABS module can be retained, it shouldn't be a big deal. Signals from the engine control unit can be simulated. There are usually still some issues, though. The ABS module is designed to compensate for the engine's drag torque, so electronic stability control might suffer a bit in an EV conversion.
@@ElectricSuperCar Quick tip from a colleague's personal experience:
Never remove the airbag control unit from its position in the car while it's powered and especially while the ignition is on. And don't relocate it. There are gyroscopic sensors contained within. If you flip the control unit, it'll think the car flipped. And then you'll have fireworks and a spontaneous balloon party.
Man, I know the pain of the wheel hub nuts!
It always amazes me how stuck they can get
That's a really good price!
I'm really enjoying this project, and I appreciate your attention to detail and your editing that makes it easy to follow without turning into an hour long overly-detailed video.
One gripe about this episode though: electric cars aren't really much cleaner to work on. Any car that's been on the road for 10's of thousands of miles will be covered in road grime. Sure, you don't have to deal with as many different fluids with an electric car, but most of dirt shown was typical for all vehicles on the road, and mostly varies by climate (i.e. cold climates might have extra dirt/salt/etc. on the underside). I'd bet if you tried to motor swap a 5-year-old Tesla from Utah, you'd end up just as dirty.
Fair point
Awesome
👍
Came for the Humvee, stayed for the strangely captivating content.
Thanks for sticking around!
Amazing how well they used that space. Looks like you have lots of room to work with plus the factory coolers should work in place of the tesla coolers.
With tesla opening up to other EV's will your system be supported?
I hope so! 🤞
Since you have Dewalt try the DCF891 or the DCF900. Great 1/2in impacts.
Nice!
nice job Porsche do not have it easy for you but you got them ;-) Hope it will be easy to mount the electrique engine ;-)
🤞
have heard There is supposed to be an efficient way to lower the entire rear engine-trans suspension assy dwon out of car with less disconnections.
Nice work Jeremy. It keeps surprising me how much cleaner and simple an electric car is. And that never ending coolant 😂😂😂😂😅
And, for how much can you sell that Porsche engine?
We shall see
Your German is getting better 👍🙂, will the next buid be Italian? Hence the Ferrari logo on your wall 😊
LOL! That would be awesome!
Wow, good choice of motor set up. Do you have any idea of how insanely fast this light car is going to be.
When you get a chance, please come to San Diego drive my tube chassis, Model Three and then add your front motor horsepower and torque on top of that crazy.
I would love to come and drive it
Nice job. You forgot to mention the torch 😅
LOL!
this motor bay is a nightmare :D
Pretty tight! The Germans are amazing
Well it is a porche more complex then alot of cars 😂 and they never have made it easy to maintainace lol but glad you got it out but nuts how luch time it took 😢 cant wait to see the real motors going in 🎉
Coming soon!
Curious to see how you adapt the CV axle flanges to the tesla drive unit. Also curious to see how you support the front motor when the chassis was never designed to have torque applied in the front. Gonna be some pretty significant metal fabrication.
All part of the fun!
The newer generations of Cayman/718 are more closely related to the 911 than before, which supports AWD. Not sure if this is new enough, though..
Wow this is really impressive since the car is so complex and you got so little space to work with!
Glad I only have my old Volvo 940 to worry about, since that car is extremely simple, solid and you almost got the space to stand in the engine bay while working on the engine.
Wanting to convert it to a awd EV after watching your videos, but unfortunately local restrictions and the EU car restrictions for modifying cars make it almost impossible...
You Americans really don't know how lucky you are having the freedom to modify cars almost as you like.
Anyways, good luck with the project, going to be fun watching the rest of the build! Greetings from Norway :)
Thanks Friend!
Curious I think I remember this is a 6 speed if so would you be interested in selling the shifter cables shifter ect. Thanks awesome project merging 2 of my favorite cars
Yep, everything I don't need I will try to sell
Often there’s no substitute for just diving in and getting your hands dirty!
You said it!
Nice job, as always.
It kinda looks like major surgery when that belt would need changing (20:33). And in really cramped conditions.
Thanks
I'm glad you are using that DCF885 Impact Driver, I'm personally in charge of building those tools. Let me know if you need to upgrade to brushless tech, i will get them for half the price for you😜.
Whoa! Nice!
Jeremy, Another Porsche swap, in California it seems that's all they do. So the question is: What batteries are you going to use and were are you going to put them to give yourself at least a little mileage. After doing my 3 Tesla swaps I know you are going to need some uummph to run that dual setup. Looking forward to seeing the front motor setup and spindles for it. As always good luck and happy engineering.
Good to hear from you Jack!
@@ElectricSuperCar So what batteries are in your future with this build?
I was thinking of trying the supercells that EV west is offering. I haven't made any purchases yet
@@ElectricSuperCar The marketing name used by EV West of "supercells" is hilarious. Those are LG cells designed for backup power applications at much lower discharge rates than an EV needs. They found them to replace the Chrysler Pacifica PHEV modules which you used on your first car, when LG cut off the supply of those.
UA-cam channels commonly don't allow links, but if you search for "LG Chem catalog JH3" you can find a description of what these actually are, including the information that the JP3 or JP4 "power" cells would be more suitable than these lower-power JH3 cells.
Love from Sri Lanka ❤
Thanks Friend!
Amazingly inticate swap ahead of you... not to say the disassembly wasn't. Selling the Porsche engine/transaxle to recoupe some of the cost?
That is the plan!
Good video as always, it's great to see the build progress so quickly.
Quick tip: don't put the car back on its wheels after removing the axles/halfshafts. You'd run the risk of destroying the wheel bearings
Thanks for the suggestion!
The implication is that the stub axle hold the bearings in place, which is true in many cases; however, unless the bearing fit is very sloppy it seems unlikely that anything will shift enough to cause a problem just sitting.
The solution is to put stub axles back in as temporary retainers.
@@brianb-p6586 That's not true.
Ever wondered why the bolt/nut attaching the axle shaft spline to the wheel hub seems so oversized, even though it's just a hub-spline assembly?
Wheel bearings are split-race bearings. The wheel bearing is held together by the compression from the axle shaft bolt. Otherwise it would be under tension, which would destroy it.
@@komentierer there are many small variations in design. They are commonly not split-race bearings (and are not in any of the cars that I have owned in which the stub axle retains the bearings), but perhaps they are in the Porsche Cayman.
If you want a really good electric impact, I suggest a Milwaukee High Output. 1400PSI, it will remove those axle nuts with no problem. Yes gas cars are messy.
Nice!
Thanks man! Now i can finally buy a tesla motor for my invisible Porsche
Lol spricht er einfach in meiner Sprache 😂 nice 👍 I enjoyed it
I'll have to keep practicing!
@@ElectricSuperCar just remember to pronounce letters not like in American English and more like British or better like in any other language. eg. A is not "ey" but "Ahh" and so on. Then your pronunciation improves in huge steps 🤘. Keep going. a second language is awesome.
Btw. German is the most spoken Language in the EU.
I'm interested in that torch set?
amzn.to/3WCqauN
I searched for an Oh Crap tool but no one seems to stock it
It is because they are always sold out! 🤣
What is the brand/model of 4 post car lift that you have?
I bought from Automotive specialty equipment
automotiveequipment.biz/
❤ Hopefully it is completed before porsche unveils their electric boxster.
That is the plan!
do anybody have any suggestion for a 300hp electric motor that can fit a jetski ?
This was once my dream; a one-man garage.
👍
In commenting on complexity you mentioned the transmission of the Porsche, but forgot to mention the transmission of the Tesla - they both have transmissions, both with fluid. Of course the Tesla is simpler due to the lack of shifting or a clutch, but the comparison is still not fairly presented.
U should set both gas electric motors side buy side for comparison and if u can weigh both gas vs electric
We'll see if I can get weights
@@ElectricSuperCar Don't forget to add back the 30+ gallons of coolant in the total😉. Looked almost like they had more of it in that engine then gas in the tank🤣🤣🤣
I have 3 rides I would love to ev out, one is Moms 87 suburban ,(Her Dad) my Grand Dads 67' El Camino, and my 93 Chevy 4 door dually..
Nice!
Legend says he is still draining coolant to this day
LOL!
12:20 EVs still have differential/gearbox oil, cooling oil and/or glycol coolant, CV joint grease (all of which can leak onto the powertrain and undercarriage and make a mess for maintenance), as well as road dust/dirt... EVs are not that much cleaner to work on than gas or diesel vehicles, in my experience.
fair point
How much will you get when you sell the existing Porsche motor and trans?
I will let you know when I sell them
