Madness of the day: A BMW E-30 with an engine from a MIG 29 aircraft.

The dangerous thing about having spare time and mechanical knowledge is that it can lead you, if you have access to the engine of a MIG-23 fighter plane, to want to install it in a rickety BMW E-30.

A Soviet fighter plane MIG 23, whose engine has been used to install in a BMW e30.

This is what this Russian YouTuber specialised in mechanics called Igor Negoda has done. After obtaining the turbine starter motor of a MIG-23 fighter plane, he got down to work. The result? a lot of noise, a lot of smoke and a lot of torque, but as it is not the main engine of the plane, it only has 60 hp of power.
