Benny's Custom Works brings you everything automotive!
Weekly Episodes right here on TH-cam, as well as the shop with new & used performance parts for most Japanese makes and models.
Benny makes this stuff look like a walk in the park. Please consider the risk factors and talk to a qualified mechanic, as well as a psychologist, if you’re thinking of attempting anything you’ve seen on the show.
Take into consideration your safety, the safety of others, as well as your vehicle’s best interests- warranty, etc.
Unless you’re trained & qualified to do so, we don’t recommend modifying your vehicle in any way. Stickers don’t add HP unless installed correctly.
This might be the most interesting video series on your channel. Can't wait to see how this plays out. Good on ya for going outside the box.
Great to see how many Crowns are being built now. They're an awesome platform for most things.
The hybrid system doesnt use the 12v battery. The 36v battery in the boot is boosted to 42v system voltage by the inverter in engine bay. It has a dc-dc converter in it. Also the inverter has some serious capacitors in it. Recommend you get some HV gloves from Blackwoods or similar.
Thanks for the clarification mate :) I appreciate the tip re the hv gloves yoo
Calling it now, it’s gonna run a 17.63 at the track just to really make cutting the time down by half at the strip a decent challenge. And I’m hear for it! Cool project Benny!
Many was the time I spent in the back seat of one of those things on the way home after a night out in Japan. Drunkenly giving the driver directions back to my place. I had enough basic Japanese to do that. As well has gestures and hand waving etc. Taxi drivers over there were good sorts.
Incredible. Somehow you've managed to get me excited about mild hybrids and Crown Comforts. Looking forward to the next
Ah yes looking forward to this one, love Crowns and especially Comfort Crowns, they’re all over here in HK!
HK taxis, ridden in so many...
Nice to see under the skin of one of these. Seen a couple of them and wondered what the deal was, but there doesn't seem to be much information available online. All the Wiki stuff seems to ignore them.
Sound like a great build and concept
Thanks for the content
Ahhhh so Matt's getting his taxi fixed from the black one!! That's awesome
Fake taxi fleet
With doggy beard cam haha
Another great video. Thank you.
Good to hear about the learning about the engineering process and about taxi bars and seating.
I imported a black GBS12 with the fender mirrors last year. Probably the coolest and nicest cars for the money. The 36v hybrid battery often fails and i used 3x 12v scooter batteries from super cheap in series. Way cheaper than a $2000 battery from Japan.
Awesome idea
Which batteries did you use? And did it take up much extra space?
My GBS12 is the same as yours. Black with the fender mirrors 😁
@@reecio07 I just measured up the original oem battery and found something that fit in the same space with 3 smaller batteries. Then made a custom bracket and some heavy gauge wiring to connect everything together. Not sure on the exact battery model. Also used a resistor to trick the temp sensor to think it’s always at the right temp to remove the error code
@EminenseYT thanks! I'll try and do the same. Don't suppose you remember how many ohms the resistor needs to be? 🤣
@@reecio07 Unfortunately not. You can check with a multimeter.
Woohoo! Taxi racing time!
Great project. Looking forward to it
Very cool build, I can’t wait to see the results
The Wild Hybrid TurboTaxi!
Love it.
oh man these are so cool. have wanted one since riding in a taxi in Japan...the dream is the TRD version.
Another build. Cannot wait.
Been lacking watching youtube lately but Benny never disappoints! Very in depth and informative as always
This sounds like a cool build! And even with a new radiator I hope you keep that "drive joy" cap. What branding. Japan is the best.
Very cool bro I can’t wait to see the build
Fcuk yeah! Loved the barra Mustang build so really looking forward to this.
Loved the walk around! Looking forward to seeing it going forward
these will be so sick!
You’ve got a few things on the boil. Nice to see the plans.
I feel like Patchy the Pirate "That's it? That's the hybrid system? That's just running an alternator backwards!"
First watched the video that dropped today off you taking the black car to a street meet. I didn't know of this video. I obviously missed it when it dropped. Really looking forward to the build of this car. This build will be YOUR build, not like the Crester, which will always be Originally an MCM build. Too me anyway.
would love to see the engineering chat / process - sweet
This is gona be Mad! 😎🔥🔥
I also remember deboss doing something similar a long time ago I think it was a GM or ford pickup and the system had something to do with the transmission I believe he just swapped a normal transmission back into it or at least the back half of the same transmission but non hybrid version and did away with the hybrid stuff, this is pretty interesting stuff, doesnt look as complicated as one would think it'd be, love these taxi crowns, such a classy design.
Prius has electric motor built into the gearbox
@@jonathanwright5550 and they suck. Even when good, the Prius is bad.
I've got one of these. From what I can tell, the Hybrid system doesn't actually help so much with the running of the engine, it's more of a glorified stop-start system. Although mine doesn't even do that as my 36V battery is dead 🤣
Yeah I imagine it's for acceleration from stationary. As for saving fuel I can't see how as it's then gotta top up the battery
I'll have a crack while you're in the states Benny!
Ship it down to Melbourne, and 0 guarantee on any work.
Let me know if you want to have me help progress/break it! 😆
Love the blurred bald spot in the shape of a Joe Dirt.. El Duerté
Your new shop truck, the Ram 1500, is available in the US with the 5.7 and a 48V alternator/motor based mild hybrid just like the Toyota.
Not the DS Series, only the DT series.
@@BennysCustomWorks ah it's confusing because they still sell both of them brand new.
Nice one Benny. Looking forward to sitting on my arse watching too much youtube in 2023.✌
Paint it in Red, Hong Kong Taxi style~
Blue, Lantau Island style
Ooh, cool!
Just you wait for the fun facts 😁
Looks like an awesome build, cant wait to see it happen but I have to say not the prettiest cars I have ever seen.
These are pretty popular here in Fiji
The lack of cuts in your long monologs is very impressive.
Called it!
sick!
Mercedes's new line of engines (I3/I4/I6) all have that same starter/alternator system like GM used to run. And the accessories that would be on the front of the block, are now electrically driven (so AC isn't belt driven).
They call those engines a Mild Hybrid too - probably wouldn't be hard to make it a full hybrid.
Super pumped to see this build unfold. Since your making it your "Wild Hybrid" drag car, it'd be pretty sick if you put a split wrap on it with half Aussi/half USA flags.
Im not gonna comment on the car so much as the alternator/motor. They are the same thing, literally. Its just how we use them that differs. But, as in this car, you can also combine them into one thing. So one way it can charge and another way (spinning) it can be a motor. Pretty interesting idea. The batteries must be in series to get 48v. What an odd voltage for this as well.
Great video Ben.
I've looked at Shipping a car from Japan to Port Kembla.
Is it an easy process or a nightmare?
What are your thoughts.
And is it better going through an importer?
Cheers.
Easier to get an importer to do it like iron chef imports
100% go through a broker.
Paper work issues are common, even with importers… but they know the system.
@@Riley180sx . Thanks i'll definatly look into that.
Cheers
What are you doing with those AFR heads on that Windsor??? 😊
Love the weird and different Benny!!! Good base suspension wise then boost the fuck out of it 👍🍻
Please tell me the Ute is going to MCM? that would be a blast to see all of you guys clowning around while on a drag n drive! Either way mate it looks like you are enjoying yourself!
Could that second radiator section be used for a water to air Intercooler setup ?
In theory yes but it’s pretty small. It may heat soak from the primary rad also.
Most modern hybrids have a separate cooling system for the battery packs
If your getting rid of the wheels of the white one I'd be keen on them, I have an 1985 crown to put them on
100% will be selling them mate
Hey man , where’s a good place to contact you about some help for a turbo is200 1gfe ?
Interesting, the hybrid system is the same set up as the Hemi eTorque engines.
Any particular reason a 2J and not another Barra?
Pretty much because the entire internet has yelled at me since day one to put a 2j in the cresta. Gotta see what the hype is about .
@@BennysCustomWorks haha, fair enough 🤣
Yeeee buddy
20.6 second 1/4 mile.
Those GM hybrids, they're the ones where the hybrid version has worst economy than the petrol version?
Probably
that mild hybrid sounds a lot like the Ram etorque.
Same principal
Will you be planning a grudge match against Scott Taylor's Barra taxi?☺ Prize could be $2k...
O M G You have the jab
And? Gotta be on the latest firmware so the coolaid tastes right.
What do you mean hybrid? As in electric and petrol engine? If yes, will you be keeping hybrid for drag and drive? Is there class for it?
Hybrid drive ( electric system) is going into the white car
👌
Hey Benny. What's with the QLD plates on the white one? Thought you were down south of Sydney? I'm a ex Sydney boy myself. Now live up in Al and Woody's neck of the woods. Love the work brother
The owner of the white one is qld based
@@BennysCustomWorks haha yea got further in the vid and realised it wasn't yours. Bloody QLD heat getting to me! 🍻
I think the hybrid may surprise you... torque to wheels..
Is not that kind of hybrid....
Hong Kong taxis
Pulsar turbo time? 7975g is like $1550 dollaroos and should be capable of pushing a 2j to 1200ish
Yeah might be :)
hahahah Yessssssssssss
They Camry rims 🤔
better aerodynamics should help
Got $30 for my last Cat
I think you got hustled
Side pipes are junk
*Promo SM*
Moist
Pretty cool love the conversions, who cars lol about that driveline 😂
Anyway what I thought would be cool if you can hot wire the the electric motor and make that more kilowatts and potentially drop a few seconds on your base line
