2JZ BRZ Pt 19 – Alternator, Power Steering & Wiring Madness

1. Awesome 🙂

2. That wiring = Hours on the side of the road troubleshooting when you have trouble. I made the mistake on my first bike messing with the ECU etc… and I would be flicking wires and squeezing them to troubleshoot on the side of the road.

3. That wiring turned out a LOT cleaner than I thought it would!

4. on 12:27 what do you call that clamp on the ABS line? been trying to find it online with no luck

5. Forcing ads AND begging for money on Patreon. Pass.

6. Maybe you like this from 6: 25min https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdRNvdibXFM

7. How do you loosen the timming belt to be able to change the alternator of 2jzgte ? would appricate a help man, Thanks

8. It looks so much better when there's not an absolute cable-hell.

9. How did you get the power steering to work? Did you do it without the ABS unit?

10. Quality episode! And very satisfying to see all those wires cleaned up!

11. Self tappers are the worst thing ever, unless you are attempting to start corrosion points. Look up nutserts. They are a much better option.

12. #BIsForBoat

13. i suggest getting a fan controller for those fans, going to take forever to get up to operating temp with them running with the key on , also, those pull a lot of amprage, i wouldn't share it with anything else

14. popularity tell dancer class special sleep currency.

15. B is for better videos every episode Keep it up bro!

16. what has happen with the Aston Martin??

17. Chris will be the only person on earth able to work in this car!

18. For anybody interested in the Arduino solution, I took some further research in finding out how to create a proper solution literally just using an Arduino, with some packet sniffing on the CAN BUS you can interpret the data being sent from the stock FA20 Engine Control Unit and somehow have an Arduino convert similar if not the same piece of data from the 2JZ ECU to the Arduino to enable certain things like ABS, Traction Control, Power Steering, etc…Takes quite some time to really dig into it but def has caught my eyes over the past few days, I'd love to turn this into an open source solution eventually that brings back a lot of these OEM features. The power steering on the BRZ is really unique imho, I know Motec has a solution (a very expensive one) but I think with a few all nighters and some RedBull an Arduino hack could save you thousands. I'm going to continue doing some more research and keep you posted if you're interested. Huge thanks to a lot of the information shared by ""wutsaiu" on the FT86 fourm!

19. Man, you really need to invest in a nicer volt meter, lol.

20. woah, what happened to stay tuned?!?!?!?!?

21. The fact that the car looks like it's gonna be automatic

22. first drive next video?!!

23. Just freaking relocate it inside the car, wiring isn't approved by a 2JZ owners.

24. Please get those fenders covered.

25. when can u do an fj video? or its all good for a will and are u still working on the mustang off camara or just took a brake of.

26. Nice Roadkill/MCM reference! 😀

27. Just subbed man, I absolutely love the brz build
    Keep up the good videos

28. Where is the b is for bond car… i missed that car

29. 3 months later and the car still ain't finished. ,,,,

30. So you mounted an unsealed ECU, Plug side up, in coastal Oregon?
    Have you forgotten that it rains 90% of the year?

31. "A quick word from our spon…." skips ahead

32. Hey, do you have that BRZ/FRS/86 car logo on your shirt for a decal? I kind of just want the image of the car only. Would love to buy.

33. are you going to film your dyno day??

34. Thank u for cleaning the wires finally

35. You should update your intro , Just saying(:

36. great job Chris , you're really smart keeping those extra wires man. I like the process on this car good luck with the future of this car I hope everything goes smoothly .. good luck and have a good day.

37. What did you study in college

38. I was able to understand the armorall wash wipes but I can't do this game sponsor.

39. A long add intro – but its nice to see you doing it – everything that helps you make new content is appreciated 🙂 – I do think it would be better to put the ECU into the cockpit of the car 😉

40. How long you are doing this build?

41. I don't think the ecu controls the alternator as far as regulating the charging cycle. It just sends power to the circuit board on the alternator and that controls the alternator charging load. correct me if I'm wrong.

    loving the vids keep up the good work!!

42. Name it the bjz

43. I still don't get why he did not get a fuse and relay box. It's not that hard to do things properly and I have no doubt he is 100% capable. Ignorance ? Laziness ? Something else ?

44. I can't wait to see this car finish
