Butt-Dyno'd 500hp Tesla-Swapped Porsche 930 

Larry, smoke less, your comprehension, or lack off, was hard to watch….electric E -brake really challenged you

rob carlsen is literally a known thief in utah, he scammed cars, money, parts hell even a house iirc from people . he may be different now, but i doubt that highly

@@paladro makes a terrible name for all those who are actually honest in the car community

? Tesla swapping has been around for quite sometime - there are issues with it - tesla knows which motors are out there and have in the past throttled used engines or just straight up cut them off from using their charging stations. It has gotten better - but there are a ton of better ev motors out there now, the thing with swaps is that they get horrible range.

​@@corail53yea tesla is just another apple. Ill never own either companies products.😂

Put Tesla powerplants in cars that could use them like Volkswagens Busses, Things, old Minis not Porsche 911s

There is a use for them, you can LS swap them.

Making use of Tesla or destroying the souls of a 911 😂

that is the appeal of restomods

im 33 and feel the same way

Me too! I feel like I'm getting old cause I'm finding unnecessary noise obnoxious for some reason?

Ditto,I am exactly 40 rn.

Throw a K20 turbo into it, won't go wrong.

“INFINITE POWERRR!”

I came here to see this comment. 😂

Yes! I like the Model S best, but it's only a sedan. The other Teslas are all boring looking.

Agreed fully… I have a 77’ ROW 911 that I could never imagine it having anything other than a magnesium cased 2.7 in it… absolute worse case if I ever fully melted that engine would be a 3.0… I just live my oil leaks, the CIS system, and hell even the 915 trans lol… anyone that has spent any time with a 915 has learned how to double clutch and really drive a car.

…er. There finished it for ya.

I agree with you, Vincent

I’m gonna guess it isn’t and the 12v systems getting hit with more amps than it can deal by the converter. Might be straight up arcing across a switch or relay somewhere (door switch, or just the little switches in the lights themselves).

Coincidentally happens just after he mentions converting to LED lighting, too!

It happened at 37:31 too. both times when they hit a bump.. maybe the door switch is loose and moving around

If you want a power wheel, go buy one, swaps like these are super pricey. The batter alone will cost you about the price of a new car.

You can turn off regen in a Tesla to make it feel more like a "normal" car.

Model year 78 no MY 77SC, yup this guy… doesn’t seem to know his car, it was a turbo but he called it an SC 🤷🏻 He probably needed a engine rebuild so he went for the lower cost “upgrade” at least the perception of it. The soul is that howling open waste gate at full boost. I have a 79 930 with 400hp with far more soul and 3x the range of this car 😂

​@@vintageexcellenceyeah this swap makes me nauseous... of all the cars why. A built turbo would be so much more of an experience.

@@papa_pt it’s making a product they think the can sell and profit from, that’s why they do it

@@vintageexcellence yeah and normally that's not an issue.. but here it's at the cost of depleting this original stock of cars for silly profit motive. I know I'm preaching to the choir. I'd probably walk up all excited at a c&c only to quickly become disgusted upon finding no motor

Homie said 4 days for the swap.... sounds terrible. Older porsche engines drop right out in half a day. Wonder what takes so much time?

@@shifty1927 Batteries!

@@offtrackengineering batteries? 4 days was the time to put the original ice engine back in.

@@shifty1927 I'd imagine it's the time it takes to remove all the HV system including batteries.

​@@shifty1927I would even challenge the 4 day time claim. You have to redo the whole interior and put the shift linkage back, wiring, etc. Etc. Just remember RU-vid exists to sell stuff.

This is a big problem in modern EVs and some companies are just ignoring it. But, if someone rear ends then they were following too close.

@@truantray True, and I guess it's reasonable given the way the insurance industry works for current-model cars. But for a 40-year-old converted sportscar, it could be written off as a total loss very easily if the needed repair parts are rare. So if I had an EV-converted sportscar, I would search and search until I found a switch for the brakelights that would turn them on when the switch detects deceleration that exceeds maybe 20% over the level that coasting to a stop is caused in an ICE car. I know there's no legal requirement to do that, but it would be an inexpensive way to protect my personally-valuable sportscar.

Ofc its not supposed to do that lmao

Maybe a door not shut all the way? Anyone notice the back seat behind Larry fell down as well?

👍

Lol relax buddy

I am so sick of it. Maybe the reason his best content are his photos.

When he does that it means he’s not interested in what the guy is saying .

The problem is that this is not just a build, it is a product, and he's trying to sell it. Let him talk and it's an infomercial.
