Couch Built

Channel documents a long-term DIY engineering car build: transplanting a 13B-REW turbo rotary (and associated turbo/exhaust hardware) into a 2016 BMW i8 while attempting to retain hybrid functionality. Content centers on design-driven fabrication — using 3D scanning, Fusion 360 CAD, 3D printing, and small-scale machining to prototype and produce custom components — plus installation/serviceability work, turbocharging integration, and occasional tool/workspace reviews.
