You know Benny, Al and Woody know this mad dog fella up in the hills behind Brisbane who may be able to find a 1J for you. He is a bit loose as but knows a thing or tow.
@@BennysCustomWorks what about conversion kits? 1J and BMW diesel gearbox (from M57 engined car) or RX8. Nothing that uncommon, PMC does them, but Im sure there is someone more local to You. Here RX8 or BMW trans is cheap as shit, so conversion kit is like the only cost, but when You consider what You have to pay for 1J/2J engine, it's ok. There are kits to mate IS200 trans with UZ engines, but V8 on a budget is tiring :P Unless You don't like adapter plates, then well.
Love the sense of realism on Benny’s channel. No fancy press brakes or hydraulic sheet benders, it’s got a real DIY aspect to it. Keep up the good work Benny !
GTE internals in an FE is a great value option, have done one myself with a 2871 bolted to it and it was a super responsive setup and didn't upset the balance of the car much if at all. Also lets you retain the factory driveline which is neat
Hey buddy I got a few questions, would really appreciate if you gave me some answers: -Which internals did you get? I believe crankshaft is the same, right? -What is a 2871? Hehe -How much did all those parts cost you? -Also, where did you get them from?
Easy way to fill the diff is screw the breather onto a bottle of diff oil, zip tie bottle upside down to boot arm and but a breather hole in the bottom. Remove filler plug and you have a self filling diff. Could also fit a fan to the cooler if still seeing high temps on slow tracks/skid pans
Nice work benny, ive always thought about doimg somthing like that to my hikux as it loves eating diffs, youve inspired me now, im defiantly going to do it
You should check out Gale Banks' youtube channel. He went over flat back diff-covers in amazing depth. I bet you are adding MORE work and aeration to the gear oil with the flat back than you are helping with the cooler. Also, going to be under-oiling the pinion as that depends on the curved diff cover to help carry oil up to the pinion bearing.
@@BennysCustomWorks 😎 good job on the cooler, would you run this kind of setup on the Cressida for drag week? I’ve seen it in NASCAR rear ends to cool the rear end, seems like a good idea
Stick with the 1gfe, it's easy to get 300hp with turbo application and under a bar. there aren't many running above that in the world, I know people see gonna say engine swap blah blah but the same company that gave you the S/C are working on pistons and rods, there's also 1ggte pistons and rods, thicker copper head gaskets. I'd love to see it with a forward facing intake plenum.
I have never seen the is200 in the U.S. Such a small 6 cylinder! A simple forged rod and piston in the stock 2 liter plus a turbo would be cool to see. OFCOURSE a K swap, 1jz, or even 1UZ would be cool to. Beams swap would be boring.
Benny, full face shield when using a cutoff disk. I've seen some horrific injuries. I cringe when I see people using them with just glasses, it brings up some bad memories. Cheers!
@@snedden9485 IS300 as the is diff ratio is much better suited to tr6060/ t56. Just need diff, axles and half shafts . I’d recommend to change to a plated lsd and replace the pinion crush tube with a solid spacer, not cheap but will be super reliable.
@@BennysCustomWorks great thanks mate. Was planning a weldie to start then a 2 way, but this may be a better option. That should give more aggressive lock that standard LSD?
@@BennysCustomWorks I know its a track car so longevity doesn’t matter , but an engineering background kind of leads me to think that Allen bolts like that have a higher tendency to strip then a strong class 8 hex bolt of a similar price point - also hex bolts are normally easy to find around the shop and ya don’t need to swap out a ratchet for a t-bar to undo a bolt (less of an issue here).
@@camver100 it's been proven with Torx and Allen key bolts you get a far more even clamping force than you do with single and even double hex bolts. That's why many manufacturers use them, start looking at high end Euro cars from the mid 90's. They used them for this reason. People strip the threads on Torx and Allen bolts because, with the right tools, it doesn't feel like you're putting as much force into it to tighten it as you would have to with a hex head bolt. Reason being is quite simple, it's all to do with the tooling. look at the thickness of the walls in a hex head socket, versus the thickness of the shank on a Torx or Allen socket, much more strength in the latter two, so you don't "feel" the strain on the tooling. Hence why people strip threads, and why, when it is critical, a torque wrench is imperative to use.

You might need to put a shield on it to deflect crap coming off the tyre killing it.
I was thinking more delaminated tyre tread flapping about
5:52 mad respect for filling that up funnel AND (almost) spill free. :)
when you were cleaning up your flat steel. if you want to stop of rusting. you should try some easyphos. it is good stuff for bare metal.
Thanks yes I actually already use it but ran out . This old sheet was from the scrap pile
As per usual very informative and extremely helpful thanks Benny

I’ve watched the vids and even mentioned it below in the comments
How to you find the Ventus RS4s? Shopping around for a new set of tyres for a fun weekend car.
Good budget track tyres
Very tidy job mate. I like it.
Engine wise, how about a V6 out of the X . Rwd and 6 speed.
Damn you do some quality work Benny
Where did the diff end plate come from?
Smokin'beans.Eatin'friedchicken.Watchin'Benny's.
Another good video, hey you have some specs on the pump and cooler?I am looking at installing a transaxle cooler like this on my ride.
Saw the harness and I thought. Oh yeah head unit is a perfect place to pickup constant and acc ;)
1uz or 3uz would be sick in this
Is the top of the cooler below the fill line for the diff? Just wondered about how youd get the level right if not.
Have the pump running while checking the level
How bloody good are rivnuts?
The best.
Benny where did you get them little non insulated crimp join 13:01?
It’s just a non insulated spade terminal with the spade section cut off
1uzfe engine. Very easy to fit
Benny thank you champion LEXUS IS200 IS BACK AND BEST my favourite mate 👍
Don't be to mean cutting out to much legend,,,,, lolllll😂🤔
1JZ is a very common swap for these! :) DO IT! ^^
Have you seen the gale banks video on the rear diff covers? The square truck ones were aerating the fluid and killing the diffs

Will be fine :D
@@BennysCustomWorks ok I was just wondering
@@davidjohnson8474 ( i’ve actually relocated the cooler into the middle of the car now since making the new boot floor also)
@@BennysCustomWorks sweet!
Go Benny !
Great video as usual Benny but that music - bloody horrible.
happy to see again the IS have u made any upgrade to the s/c set up? (165mm pulley maybe)
Not yet . We’ll be doing a few engine upgrade once we can bench mark this setup st the Dragstrip which is due to open any day now
@@BennysCustomWorks I hope to see u throw that 165mm on and get even more fun with it
Cool. What type of pump is this? I'm after something similar for a slightly different application. Still thick diff oil though.
I now see I'm a little blind. Any idea of the duty cycle of the pump?
@@Shifter999 i just run it constantly to be honest
My euro spec 200sx s14 had a oem diff cooler.
Why did you route the vent into the trunk that you said was going to be sealed?
Then there’s no chance of getting water into the diff.
Do u need to have a temp gauge on this set up?
You could run diff temp as an input into the ecu or run a temp gauge but it’s not critical
What oil did you use?
What wheels are you running?
it was such a pain in the ass to swap the 200 diff out for a 300 lsd, mainly because i don't have a lift. looks way easier with one.
Benny, full face shield when using a cutoff disk. I've seen some horrific injuries. I cringe when I see people using them with just glasses, it brings up some bad memories.
Cheers!
Are you using a cusco diff cover? That's the only one I've been able.
Just an online special
How about swapping a 2GR-FSE out of the IS350 into it?
We've seen what Al and Woody can do with a 1UZ. Maybe it's Benny's turn?
is that a Kamikaze Racing shirt? :o
Gotta support the rebuild .
Does this have IS300 axles fitted? The stock is200 are only 4 bolt.
Jzx100, we did another video on fitting a BRZ G series diff also .
@@BennysCustomWorks awesome, thanks for the tip! I’m about to LS swap

Benny have you ever thought of how a Suzuki Hyabusa engine would work in a Suzuki cappuccino?
Oem is200 diff has cooling fins and doesn't look like that. What kind of diff is it? What's the ratio?
It’s a G series BRZ 4.3 torsen. We did an earlier video covering the conversion.
Curious if it would be better to use a standard hex bolt over the Allen style bolt for the oil cooler mounting bracket ?
Can’t really see why it would be?

Too bad you don't have like an electric pump thing that you could use to fill that diff and cooler with......
It’s a bit fiddly to remove the suction side from the diff without spilling a heap of gear oil
Could be worth while making a second pump set up just for oil, almost as good as the click starter on the Cresta (torque converter bolts)
