CROWN | Planning The Build

[@MinTieS.]

You should turn that yellow hybrid isolator pin into the key for the Crown. A momento from its slow hybrid beginnings.

[@PhilTheGeek]

The shield is grounded so if the cable is cut it grounds out and blows the fuse. That way the high voltage cable gets isolated if it gets cut.

[@BennysCustomWorks]

There you go. Thanks for the info.

[@someyoungguy6990]

@@BennysCustomWorks If you ever want to weld a up hole, a chunk of brass plate works well. It will conduct electricity but won't bond to the weld so you don't turn a mig into a plasma cutter. Just use vice grips or a mate to hold it in place. I hit up the metal bin at my local scrap guys and it cost me $5 for two bits one, 2' X 4' and the other 4' by about 6' and they both have saved my ass more than once. A block of Ally can be handy too if you need a big heat sink for panel work, just don't overheat it.... Have you looked at the injectors Cleetus, Tom Bailey, and Steve Morris use, they seem to be sought and plenty?

[@adamcastle2691]

It also helps stop electrical noise if it was a data cable.

[@mikebaz7843]

as mentioned it's a rudimentary system for HV cable insulation resistance monitoring - current EVs open the contactors to isolate the vehicle side if a certain resistance threshold of the shielding is breached

[@souriluv2]

You said you were wary of adding all the extra plumbing of a surge tank, but the area that the second battery lived seems like the perfect place to put one. Then you can retain the stock tank and all the wonders that entails like filling through the fuel door, all without cutting into your trunk (I mean boot) space.

[@Kyleashdown13]

Is it a coincidence the skid factory boys are building a 2JZ drag car at the same time? Feels like a BCW and TSF combined drag week waiting to happen. If it’s not already on the cards surely it needs to be discussed?

[@danieltjr5649]

So no one has commented on the Valvoline commercial?? I was surprised 🤩🤩🤩 put a big smile on my face 😇😇😇 awesome moment Benny ✌✌✌ keep up the great work and I am loving this build can't wait for the next episode🤙🤙🤙.

[@koolkar55]

"Instant Gratification" Benny really? Every video is instant gratification when you're doing a build Mate. Always love ya work. Billy J.... Q'ld OZ.

[@TheTigerQuoll]

The car is in good condition,great score.

[@mihajlovasiljevic3445]

to wait last ep. Brooo :D I cant wait your one week ep and that smile on your face when you work on the car :D

[@jpstrim]

Loving the build so far Benny, went for a cruise in Matts taxi and i can see the appeal of these.

[@danielpetersen2147]

Feel free to fact-check this, but the different fuel smell could be due to the addition in Japan of MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether), which I believe is an oxidising agent (releases oxygen when burned). I think this has the effect of raising the octane rating, which could help explain why you can get some crazy high octane fuel out of the pump in Japan.

[@fredericrike5974]

And into this world, a Sleeper will be born. I have lots of pop corn- I'll be here often.

[@stevemcintyre4398]

Seeing you have this thing for Japanese 4 door sedans, what about making a drag and drive Nissan 280C. My ex father-in-law had one and it used to amuse the crap out of me!. Perhaps an RB conversion?. It would be great to see the ol' boat tearing up the quarter mile.

[@bradkark]

For a 20 yo car everything is so clean!

[@malliz1]

Nice one boys. Not worried a out tedious benny worked on enough project cars and houses to know how deap the rabbit hole is

[@Simcadepro]

any cables with shielding is to protect them from EMI, grounding or any static interference we fitted shielded cables for many reason all depend on the application used

[@NCMcLaren]

Holy hell. Whistling diesel IS Sid. Of course he is. 😂

[@shanenorwell8580]

Loving the build beny, find these drag and drive cars pretty awesome. Nice work on the recent podcast too mate, it was a cool insight into your career ect.

[@nickgrech9634]

Where or who was this podcast with?

[@wildzero7777]

As usual appreciate the time taken to explain your thinking about what you're doing; even if it's not flashy new parts or such 😀

[@cobrin6437]

smells different because they're in Japan, so different Product/Region, they have differing quality control and additive mixtures to our region. Probably have a winter mix too.

[@cracklingice]

Wouldn't you want the hole fuel pump in the front and not the back (if it has to be on the bottom sides) since the fuel pump pickup would be at the front of the tank if the mounting point was on the back?

[@MrNosajwhitey]

luv going on these journeys with your team always worth the wait

[@Devastator0]

Another great video Benny! Can’t wait for the next instalment! Keep up the great work!

[@64Pete]

Nice one mate, keep up the great work!

[@drewski5730]

How do you feel about the 2JZ mechanical pump kit from platinum racing products? PHR also has a mechanical kit, I’ve been looking at both kits for my SC 2J build. I’m not sure how streetable such kits are, there isn’t much info on the internet. Both kits use the stock fuel pump and tank. And big cables like that are shielded because they’ll interfere with radio/wireless signals if they aren’t, high voltage cables (spark plug wires), are shielded for the same reasons.

[@JaysonKrueger]

Holley hydra matte for the has tank? Pricey but would not have to make an entire custom tank

[@Alfiepowers]

Mechanical stig i was sent over by the mcm channel

[@BennysCustomWorks]

Welcome

[@Alfiepowers]

@@BennysCustomWorks how are you these days benny

[@BennysCustomWorks]

@@Alfiepowers good mate, plenty going on. There’s a tonne of vids on the channel, you can check out what I’ve been up to.

[@paulkwiatkowski4342]

It would be kind of interesting to see a chop in the middle of the hybrid wire to see the condition after the age

[@micjarrett]

Australian fuel is horrible for sulphur content, so I imagine a lower PPM of sulphur also has an effect on the overall smell

[@H4KD11]

Does the fuel have an additive to increase its life so it can sit for longer?

[@BennysCustomWorks]

Possibly, Japanese fuel does seem to last

[@TrinomCZ]

I'm quite surprised you like the Siemens Deka injectors. Everybody I know just hates them as they have almost no fuel atomisation, they just spray a stream of fuel rather then fine mist, which makes tuning of such an engine way more difficult than the same engine equipped with let say Bosch EV14.

[@BennysCustomWorks]

We’ve not had any fuel pooling issues tbh .

[@lightfoot.2000]

get'n Riiight into įţ! 🤘😎

[@wobblysauce]

Fuel tank can work as is, just change the fuel sock

[@BennysCustomWorks]

3 walbro 540’s in tank won’t work easily

[@wobblysauce]

@@BennysCustomWorks true...

[@tturi2]

so you're essentially only going to have a can wire from your PD16 to your R5?

[@BennysCustomWorks]

Pretty much. The driveshaft speed sensor will be wired into the r5 directly but most rear operations will be controlled directly by the PD16

[@tturi2]

@@BennysCustomWorks thats awesome. I now have a greater understanding of canbus lol, it's a signal wire with many signals in it

[@anthonyexton7243]

Yes ,,, RB30 twin cam in the future or flat plan crank ford v8

Would love a flatplane voodoo

[@timaustin110]

1uz in the crown 😁 with supercharger

[@verossavr3027]

Worst engine

[@BennysCustomWorks]

I want to make 1200 hp not 400 hp

[@timaustin110]

@Benny's Custom Works be the first one to do it then

[@Ozlozcircuitresearch]

Its sheilded to keep computers and electronics from interference

[@BennysCustomWorks]

Buzzzzz

[@rolly4x4]

No worries with the long build. I would rather the in depth build videos you are good at instead of videos that just gloss over a lot of details.

[@3Y3S0FSHAD0W]

very similar design to ls400/celsior.

[@timothysoesman9188]

You tied your shoe wrong…… 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@scksqzbngblo9880]

Yeah maybe the cable is emitting interference

[@jeromysmith3917]

There isn't anything like sweet and sour fuel.
