hmmm Benny building a 2J and Skid factory? Could we see both channels at drag week?
Solid video as always Benny, can’t wait to see this get built up and get into the new project car. Keep up the great work as always!
Correct with the 02 sensor plug. IS200 has it underneath the passo seat. Fun for first timers if you forget to put the bung back in properly to seal up the hole in the chassis, you'll more than likely spend a good couple weeks with fumes entering the cabin before realising the mistake that's been made. Like I did.... 🤣🤣
Awesome.
This is definitely going in a Nissan Note, because the world has always needed one of those that run 7s!
Benny is always the man to give the internet what it wants 👍
Love the big chats Benny. Wealth of knowledge.
Benny, your down to earth, knowledge, experience, and entertaining automotive banter, is refreshing after a big day of work, Keep it up mate!
wow that was part of the car...structural....hahahahahahhahaha, his inner voice is an outer voice
Hey benny appreciate ya effort . Even the sc 1g . Like yea it ain't going to break the internet but playing with that is something the rest of us only get to do on forza .
Plenty of people dream about getting the cheap 2j from a luxo barge and doing something like you are. Ya editing including the snapped blade and admitting you dont know what some bits are makes it all the more relatable. Keep it up .
Looking forward to seeing this build, bloody awesome video Benny, loven it
Great stuff, looking forward to this project.
The only hybrid I can think of that would make sense is the Toyota Crown Comfort taxi with a 1G-FE hybrid
Was also thinking Crown or maybe Mark X?
hybrid is honestly just bonus power and fuel economy imo
This. But it's a very new platform and he's talking about live axle diff. So hybrid in its era?
I was thinking the same thing: Crown Comfort "Mild Hybrid". Maybe he got ahold of a GT-Z?
@@Low760 The Cresta itself an IRS to live axle swap, so my guess is he'll probably just do that again. I could be wrong but a RWD capable hybrid that iirc he imported and also doesn't have room for AC after the swap and a turbo feels like a pretty narrow field
Awesome video Benny! Cheers mate
Good stuff. Keen to follow this project
You have me looking at GS300’s here in the US. They run anywhere from $2500-$6000 mostly. Not too bad considering the cost of cars these days.
So keen for this series!
In your intro you touched on using your skills in areas that you can gain income more efficiently and redirect towards paying those who can do a job for you. This has been a more common conversation in my group of friends as well, as we have been getting older. Great topic to point out! Looking forward to the next build!!!
100% mate. I’ve learnt over time to stick to what you’re good at even if that means stepping away from some aspects of the project.
@@BennysCustomWorks You're a legend Benny!
@@mydogzty thanks for the support matw
13:40 so it will be a Toyota platform. Always fun to see a new project and have a known direction for it. I like that you mention the interchange with your other vehicles to decrease the amount of spares you'd have to bring with you. That is along the same lines when I've decided what components to use for a couple of my conversions and one would try and use very commonly available parts like Ford 8.8 rear ends, GM ignition components etc.
Cool to see you're doing a 2JZ. There's going to be so much Aussie JZ content soon with you, Al and Woody, Hoff and ourselves all doing JZ. We're about to do a 1.5JZ using the same engine that you have there.
Good to hear that the cream of Aussie content creators are restoring the balance of things by reinstating the "Zed" in 2jz.
Noice !!
Oooh. I’m about to build my first 1.5JZ here in Texas. You just got a subscriber.
Ooh. An early 80s Camry liftback! I had one. Plush
Looking forward to the tear down, Would love to hear more comparisons/information of the 1jzgte vs 2j
Skid factory do a video on that with golebys
Yeah that "Damp Rid" is a great product actually if you keep up with it. It's essentially got a powder in it or little "balls" made up of a desiccant. The powder or crystals or balls start off dry and they literally suck the moisture out of the air. They harder up once filled with moisture and then they can still absorb a bit more, which then turns into the water dripping into the bag. But once they are full of water, they need to be changed. So if you keep changing out to a fresh bag (or bucket they also make) you can actually do a really good job of keeping the moisture low and fighting off mold. A lot of people, myself included, use these type of products in our bathrooms to keep the mold away from sheetrock and walls where humidity turns into water droplets on the wall (from hot showers). They do a great job if you replace them regularly.
Damp rid was awesome. Had a car that had the carpets and underlay soaked due to rains/flooding. Chucked a bucket in there until I could strip the seats and carpets. Dehumidifier in the car 24 hours with the damp rid, checked electrical connectors. Job done.
Great episode
I think what makes sense is a 90/00s crown hybrid taxi (not legit hybrid with battery’s but more for the budget cheaper fuel economy) with the 1g or the 1jz fse hybrid.
Looking forward to this build.
The fact jarad and matt dropped in a while back tells me all I need to know about the new project!
And today on BCW we see Benny get fed up with rusty bolts and turn to the Ryobi electric saw
I sympathise with corrosion riddled countries
@@BennysCustomWorks you would HATE cars that age in the UK then!
@@BennysCustomWorks Thanks, from the East coast of Canada
Great to see a new build. Not that there is anything wrong with the other ones.
2JZ are getting too expensive Everywhere; not only in Australia 😭
Its puzzling as they are essentially pouring in. Its not like they are hard to find anymore. 3800 last year, 5500 this year. Same JDM shop who had them for 500 years ago.
@@johnsheridan6452 on god bro, there is pallets oj 2jzs standing in some of those shops ahahahah
Awesome bro
1st time we have seen outside of that prepped room!
Always assumed it was a shed at Ben's house!
Cool to see it's part of a building.
We’ll do a full shop tour soon :D
@@BennysCustomWorks Awesome, I'll keep an eye out for it!
My guess for the project car is a newer model crown hybrid like a gws204 or something around that era. At 13:40 you said also the cars factory Toyota loom would mostly be retained, so I’m guessing it’s a Toyota
So my guess is a crown hybrid 🤷♂️
Definitely Toyota, but could be any GRX, UZS or GWS model. So many ended up with the hybrid system, it's hard to work out. 🤔
Yea I don’t see that happening, I just pulled one apart, and the tech involved in that to make a solid axle and run a jz with the hybrid system would be near impossible, the hybrid system uses a specific transmission/ cvt and there is no torque converter, no starter motor either.
Could be a Toyota ProSuc lol
I think the connector on the PS pump is a pressure switch to bump up the idle when the pump gets loaded.
I'm not sure if you guys have the Lexus CT, but that would be an awesome hybrid to swap.
It's definitely a Prius coming from Japan.
Keep up the good work Benny!
my thoughts too
could be a ex-tokyo taxi
Spewing about the center sumps being rare i just sold one market place for $300 with oil pick up and dipstick cause i needed a front sump for my conversion! I should have put it up for more money!!
I want the rear subframe from that gs300.
When are you going back to the states for the drag challenge?
2JZ Prius for sure!!!
nice meeting you at the servo mate super nice dude love your vids man (bloke from orange haha)😂
Thanks for saying hi :)
I just did this exact thing what a classic should of watched this first would of probably made it easier. Ended up scoring a crashed gs300 with 130k for $800
@8:08 Sounds like something I would say, when working on a car. :D
Is that a Watanabe at 10:14 being used as a Hose Hanger?! That's mint!
Sure is.
Commenting before I watch the video because I'm a knob
I agree. You’re a knob. But not for commenting before watching that’s for sure...
Hmmm i do like a knob!
Very underrated comment
Replying to the top comment also without watching because i too.
Am a knob .

Taxi bar.. crown comfort 😍
is it one of those crown mild hybrid things iron chef have had for a while?
Love your content brother….
In terms of trying to recover costs, how much time and effort do you typically go to during a build?
CATs I get, particular factory wheels I get but other stuff, do you bother with glass, lights or body panels? Its the yahoos showing up and offering a tenth of what you ask, which was/is already more than a good deal and they don't have to do any of the removal work...
I normally just scrap the shell after a week. After that point the space is worth more than the car.
Having a parts car is a great way of recovering your money. Once you get the bits you need. Sell off other parts to make some money back. When you have sold most of it. Haul it in to the scrap yard and get the last few bucks out of it that you can. If you are into the car for the right price. Then you should be able to turn a profit parting it out. Cars and trucks are worth more in parts then whole most of the time.
Crown comfort, mild hybrid!
Whats the other drag and drive event out of heathcote?
Are the Th400's getting harder to find there as well lately.
I'm in Detroit, and usually have to look around to find them now. About $250 per core US now
BEAWARE KEVIN Benny is coming for ya :)>>>
I miss my old supra gz, I payed $5k for my engine in 2017 lol, $3k for a built A345 with landcruiser bits and aristo bits ect, greddy T76-33D, $2000? hks 272 cams and headstuds, expensive $5k fuel system, haltech ps2000, b03b diff and big chromoly axles, gj tailshaft, pwr coolers, was an awesome car for something I dailied and never went down the 1/4 mile with, which is why I miss it lol got my money back from it even before covid so I can't be too upset
GBS12 Crown mild hybrid with 1G-FE stock. Comes with a solid rear axle so makes sense it might prove an easy conversion.
JCE10 subframe will be a direct fit right?
Can I use that block drain as a turbo feed?
The first hybrids that come to mind are the 2013+ Lexus IS, 2005+ GS and 2006+ LS
I'm guessing Crown / Athlete.. .He seem to say Crown a lot when talking about Al's car. I feel there was a sublminal message there :)
That solenoid valve maybe a GS300 Powersteering on/off speed switch. The IS300 doesnʻt have it
Iron Chef had some Toyota Crown Hybrid Taxis for sale, no longer available for some reason.
We did purchase the car via Iron chef however they sourced it directly from Auction, not their stock cars.
I want to put a more powerful motor in my base 1L Cobalt to make a sleeper. Any ideas on a motor that would fit and be simple? I was thinking a 1.4L if I can get one but then I am just replacing a turd with a turd.
Benny, have you ever looked at the FSE versions of the 1J and 2J? 1JZ-FSE etc.
I haven’t tbh
@@BennysCustomWorks fair enough! I wonder how different they are, because they seem a LOT cheaper than the GEs
@@WrenFJ They unfortunately are of little to no use to those who want power due to the head design, and are not widely available in Australia due to our import laws ont allowing lower powered versions of cars (like the ones FSE engines came in)
Title and thumbnail gonna generate a lot of views from unsubscribed users.
Good job bro
P R O J E C T C A R SO EXCITED !!!!!!!
Please tell me your doing a JPN taxi (Seinta based mini van) I bet yours will run 10's (sorry scotty lol )
But battle of the taxi would be cool !!! I know you're two are both nice guys but bit of fun ribbing would be lush !!!!
Nice
Is it really going to fit in a Starlet?
Nice to see you acknowledge that it’s not always best to do everything yourself. So many people in the comments who think that if you didn’t mine the ore and forge all the components yourself in your garage then it doesn’t count.
If you’re having fun driving it it counts. It doesn’t matter who built what parts of it.
there is still an element of satisfaction you get from doing things yourself at the end of the day. There is a reason people respect built not bought. There is nothing more deflating being into custom work ect you ask the owner and they have a low idea of how something they own was done.
If you have the time and the skill do it yourself every day of the week ;)
@@tristanmeadows for sure there’s that satisfaction, although not everyone gets that satisfaction (and for me the satisfaction doesn’t always outweigh the pain of certain tasks). And I do think it seems strange that someone would get a custom car and not even know what’s in it. I don’t really understand that.
Potentially how much could you make from parting out everything else (obv sans 2j) and then sending it to scrap?
Depends how long you’re willing to sit on the wreck tbh
I guess some parts of the world called it the CT?
Has to be a crown comfort hybrid taxi.
Great
Is it going go be a Crown Hybrid? That would be so sick
A hybrid that fits a 2JZ...🤔
You always have to throw riddles Benny. 😂
So, I'm not gonna google search and use my own research. I have a feeling it's an X chassis that originally had a GR or UZ motor in it. Too many model choices from the Mark X to Crown Majesta to choose from. I'm probably wrong as hell about it too. 😅
Solid axle though, budget. Hybrid may not mean electric.
@@Low760 The hybrid system on Toyota's like this are the electric drives the front wheels and the motor does the rear, giving them "AWD" capability, as indicated by all the JDM auction log sheets. 👍
Prices,.... I'm chasing a Jeep V6 to drop in to a Valiant for a light weight corner carving toy... Price second hand from specialist wrecker, $4K. Same engine but PickAPart, $250. All engines from places selling to the Enthusiast Market have jacked up prices, be it 2J, Barra, LS, or Jeep.
2J!
Before I watch it, was it an Aristo?
You should be able to keep the air conditioning provided it’s not a dry sump. Source: 2JZ owner. It’s entirely normal to reach the kind of power levels you are while keeping air conditioning. However, every dry sump system I’ve ever heard of for the 2J uses the air con pulley as a drive. The internet says the factory oil pump should be ported for 1000hp but doesn’t have to be, but the engine won’t last as long as a dry sump.
His problem with air con was fitting it in with the intercooler required to support his power level, not the power level itself.
@@aaronkratzmann9703 plenty of guys on the Supra forums above 1000hp with air conditioning… There’s a 1000hp aristo in town with air con too. Their intercooler seem to be sufficient. I’m planning an 800hp build for my SC, but it must retain air con, it shouldn’t be an issue. As soon as you feel you need to go dry sump though is when air con has to be deleted ->that happens anywhere from 800-1500hp+ with these motors, but it’s different for every application.
The front end of the project car is pretty slim so the intercooler + aircon condenser.
@@BennysCustomWorks water to air would be cool to teach people about
Is it a Toyota Comfort? 1GFE hybrid?
Can u weight this 2jz before putting in it? There is only one opinion on GE weight - ABOVE 230kg but noone proved it.
Probably not a Toyota Corolla Fielder/Axio as I don't think a 2JZ will fit, but they are JDM, they are hybrids, and are allowed to be imported into Oz...so recent gen Toyota Crown?
My Question what did you do with the rest of the car.
Surely you sold off the rest of it?- I should say in that, I mean like did you sell off to wrecker or did someone buy whole lot or bit by bit and other then cats, like to get a LS better off with HSV as in parts they worth more or just SS or SV8 ?
The shell has gone to a mate
Coolbeens. Are you jedi turbo stig from MCM
I have a 2jzge vvti with mid sump if you like
Kevin’s nemesis.
"How ya going, mate?" ROFLMAO!! Also, score on the free cat!!
Never in my 20 years working on cars would I have considered cutting the driveshaft. lol
2jzgte in nz are fetching nearly 14k
WOW did not know cats were worth that much. I assumed you'd only be getting a bit over scrap metal prices for them. Makes so much sense that people are racking them now.
Totally dependent on year as far as I know. When they were fairly new, they were created with loads of precious metals in them. Later years use far less as they worked out how to do it with more normal metals and an incredibly thin coating of the pricey stuff.
ehh would love to have this GS chassis.. here in europe most of them all are rusted out
Hi 5 to the spider is all I saw in regards to Hi 5s
I didn’t watch the video but I imagine it says buy a GS300 remove GE reseal it, forged internals, and an EBay turbo.
All of the Golbey ordering incoming
Competitor to the skid factories 2jz commodore
hybrid reckon its a mark x or something.
Gonna guess Lexus GS300h or LS430h. Hoping to be proven wrong and it’s a JDM exclusive that I’ve not even heard of yet instead 😆
Isnt the "i" in "vvti" for intake?
Probably
@@BennysCustomWorks You are a champ Benny! Love your work.
LEXUS 200H?? or the Japanese equivalent?
Would be bonkers if Benny took a Yaris or a c-hr and made 8 sec passes on it.
Where can I buy a 2jz-ge vvti. Where can I buy one to ship to me? And for a decent price
Ah, he’s seen the light :)
Toyota crown comfort mild hybrid? But if so, why not get one that's non hybrid and 25y Old 🤔
I miss my GS300 so comfortable.
Crown or Mark X Hybrid?
