Yes! Buying the proper tools for the job. Now is the time to be expanding that tool collection.
Huge congrats with learning to bend brake lines.
Thanks bro!! It's all the necessary tools that make projects like these so expensive, but I'm happy to have them. It's all been super fun to learn so far.
Great video! From one CZcamsr to another, your content is great!
Whoa man!! I'm star struck. I'm a huge fan of your channel and love what you're doing with the Porsche. You've definitely been an inspiration for my project. Thanks for checking it out! :D
Wow, hey great job ! As you know Brakes are Very Important ! The whole printed up retainer thing was very nice the only thing I could think of was the power source, and I’m not sure what you are going to do too keep the 12 volt system charged up. I may have missed it from an earlier video. Again great job ! Keep ‘em coming 😅
Thanks! That was pretty complicated so I'm glad it didn't explode. I'll eventually get a DC-DC converter to step the 300V Energica battery down to 12V and probably have a little motorcycle battery wired up to the lights and brakes, etc. That's a job for next year.
Dude you making your own lines was so sick to watch! Great job! Gotta love googling things and YouTubing "how to" as well.
Thanks man! What started out scary ended up being really fun. I sat on my garage floor listening to the rain outside, bending and flaring. It was so peaceful 😁 Hopefully youtube has a video on how to install an Energica drivetrain!
Really enjoyed the video. All hail the mighty algorithm.
Cheers!! ✊
Thanks for showing us the whole process, this was a fun video to watch! For your next Beat or for anyone else going through something similar, DC5 integra/RSX brake lines work as a replacement for the stock flex hoses.
Cheers man! That's great to know. I probably should have gone that route and saved a bunch of time haha, but it's all good. "Overnight parts from Japan 2 months later"
@@NewZerolandOverfortnight*
@@earthwormandruw 😂 so true
That was well worth the wait. Who ever have thought replacing a break booster would have been so interesting. That was not the first tools I expected you to get, but a wise person told me, get the tools when you need it, because the ones that you get when you do not, will never get used.
So true! Thanks man 😁 Wiring is pretty boring stuff but hopefully the rest of this project is entertaining. I'm glad you're liking it so far! When the engine comes out, the real fun begins.
Tesla conversion!!!! Tesla powered Beat!!!
Techically Bosch Powered, i guess 😂
Tesla halted beat
More beat content 🙏 i love it
Cheers man!
Modern cars must have parallel interfaces for all Input and outputs, so that they can be utilized as programmable cars.
Imagine having a parallel electronic input interface for the break pedal, steering so that autonomous computer vision system can just plug and play to the interface, how cool that would be !
It's pretty sweet! Our Tesla has all that fanciness. I'm keeping the Beat as simple as possible, but putting this little car in autopilot would be hilarious.
Great video Sam, I really enjoy watching your progress!
Thanks man! Glad ya liked it 😁
Bravo dude, this was fun to watch
Cheers!
Seriously amazing watching you do all of this for the first time. The 3-D mapping and printing of a part cracked me up though, 2023 toys for the win!
Thanks man! I'm having a blast so I'm glad you guys are enjoying it too 😁
Boomer here, love your attitude, and encouragement!!!! Yeah, I'm sure you're shocked, LOL. Really, great content, just what I was interested in, thinking of doing this on my old C10. Might hit you up for one of the 3d printed hold down brackets. Subscribed!!!
Thanks man! Glad ya liked it 😁 My 3d printed bracket snapped, so I ended up going with a remote reservoir from a 2019 Honda Accord. Apparently they use the same Bosch master cylinders so they fit perfectly. Good luck with your truck and thanks for the sub!
Man what a great video. Thank you for showing these processes in so much detail, it's reassuring to us have-a-go types
Thanks man! I appreciate it 😁 Lots of smarter, more skilled people have inspired me, so I hope I can do the same.
That's why I watched this video haha@@NewZeroland
Mr Baker, it's awesome to hear from you again and to see the EnergiBeat move forward.
Thank you sir! Glad you're liking it so far 😁
So great to see you're now an EV electrician 👌
Pff haha not even close, but I'm learning.
EV peasy lemon squeezy 😎
I love seeing your progress and joy in this project , learning and growing in appreciation at each step - although it only affirms to me that I would never want to get deep and dirty into auto mechanics myself. Best of luck along this journey
Thanks man! Haha all good. The way I see it.. this will take an insane amount of time to complete, but that time will pass anyway, so I might as well do something interesting!
So much detail. Good mahi bro!!
Cheers!
I love watching this project come along and hearing about how your solving each problem as you go. Im cheering you on from the sidelines. I think you might have covered this in another video but NewZeroland was about a brand but maybe now it can mean Zero emmisions.
Thanks man! I appreciate all the cheering 😁 Glad you liked this video! It's slow progress but I'm getting there. And yeah totally.. what started as a channel promoting Zeros has become something bigger. Electric motorcycles, electric cars, conversion projects, and chubby cats 😁
Nice work there! That's the same reservoir that I have on the RoadRat.
Haha awesome! VW parts are the best 😂
Not all Super Hero's wear capes "Just saying"
But all of them wear spandex!
Impressive! You are doing a great job!
Thanks man! 😁 Baby steps.
13.22 The fuse needs to be closer to the battery. If the fuse pops, the wire feeding the fuse is still live !
Good point! Thanks for that. I'm planning on putting the battery up front so this will be perfect.
There's tube straighteners as well. That would've kept things a bit more tidy. But hey, as long as it works.
Yeaaah I heard about drilling a hole in a piece of wood to straighten the tubes right after I finished 😂 Oh well, next time.
Neat job on the break lines, they look pretty factory to me 👏👏
Thanks man! That means a lot 😁
Great job mate.
I guess I'll start looking for an iDrive brake system too.
And yes it's now a Tesla or Beatsla
Thanks man! These are awesome boosters. My little 3D printed bracket failed though so I need to sort out a better reservoir setup 😂
Nice work! I used to get paid to fix cars, and my brake lines rarely looked that neat. 🤣
The VW reservoir setup is handy too. Have you thought about putting the bracket on thingyverse or similar?
One little point - it's generally better to have fuses near the battery. They protect the cable (from shorting against bodywork etc.) as much as they do the load.
Thanks man! Ahh good point. I'll keep the fuses in mind when I put it all back together. I'm 50/50 about moving the 12V battery to the front of the car. It could help balance the weight, but it might make routing wires a mess. We'll see how it goes. And yeah I should put that bracket online so other people can download it!
@@NewZeroland There's probably one or two big wires running from the battery or starter terminal up front to the fuse box/switch gear.
In theory you could unpick that from the loom, connect to the battery up front, and just add a new wire for the 12V charger.
Pulling the loom out to do that is not the work of a moment, but could save a little bit of weight, especially if you pull out all the ECU wiring etc. as well.
@@jrevillug yeah good idea. I'm taking the whole loom out anyway and I'll be making my own for the small amount of stuff I want to keep (lights, windows, wipers, brakes, etc). I'm excited to start from scratch!
Bro, you are a G. This just continues to get better and better! Keep it up, man! I love it!
Thanks man! 😂 It took months so I'm glad ya liked it. Here's hoping the rest of the conversion is just as fun.
Nice. Honda, Energica, Tesla, VW conversion. You didn’t do the weight change but that will be so much crazier of a number on the next video when you pull the engine. Franken Beat is coming along well.
Ohh true! I should have compared the stock booster's weight to the iBooster. It's definitely heavier, maybe 1.5x heavier.
That’s ok. Your saving weight everywhere else and good breaking is worth it. Now back to Zelda TOTK. 😆
@@stevenb7319 HAHA that's my reward for finally finishing this video. More TOTK!!
Been following this build from the get go and I always can't wait for the next update. Hoping to see the final product of an EV-Beat. Eager to see how you fit the battery into the car and the balance.
Thanks man! Sorry it's taking so long. Work keeps getting in the way of fun, as always. I'm hoping to make enough room in the garage to get the car in there soon and then the engine can FINALLY come out. I hope it will all fit, too!
Good job Sam !! There is a first time for everything!
Thank you!! 😁 The hard part is over.. now I can start the hard part.
Using the hanger to create a mockup is a really good idea.
Thanks! I can't take credit for it, but it worked really well.
Next on my ek. Electric brake booster. Thank you.
Good luck!
Brilliant video, this really helps I am eventually planning to do something similar with my Mazda MX5
I think the brake booster bolts on the accord ibooster are the same as the MX5 booster.
Thanks! Niiiice. It's a sweet upgrade, especially if it fits so well in an MX5.
Haha my man out here using Maya for CAD... Me too!
😂😂😂 You know it! I forgot how to use Fusion 360 and I lost my free trial of it, so it's Maya all the way now.
@@NewZeroland It works fine if you set it to metric units, and less restrictive than traditional CAD software. That being said, take a look at 'Plasticity" dude, its not free but is so good that I paid for it. It's like using polygonal tools for CAD models.
3d scanning too, very @superfastmatt !
looking gd Sam, they weather is deteriorating he so must mean you coming into your spring, would be great to get her on the road late summer ?! 👍
Thanks! Yep, it's slowly warming up here so I'm excited to be outside working on this project more.
Loving this journey, great editing, thanks
Cheers man!
Hey well done again on the beat, you seem to have the nous to get around things, so stop discrediting yourself, you have done well so far, its not an easy thing to do, converting anything, the beat will be a quick little ripper once done, awesome cheers!
Thanks man! I appreciate it. All of this is way over my head so I'm glad it doesn't seem that way 😂
Love the journey so far..
Just a couple of things:
More futurama references regarding bender
Any term that can use a reference, use it
Thankyou
Ah man, didn't see this until now. Thank you! Will do haha.
You really need to start adding thought bubbles to fat cat, e.g., “He really hasn’t got a clue what he’s doing”, or, “I wouldn’t have done it like that”, etc. So opinionated yet so often smarter than us 😺
Hahaha she's so judgy, it's true. She loves the car though! I hope she approves of my plans. I'm putting that cat in every video from now on.
‘Crimpin ain’t easy’…no truer words been spoken. If you had done this work in a parking lot then you could say you were ‘parking lot crimpin’😎
😂😂😂 Amazing lmao
Every day is leg day when you train Krav Maga!
I haven't been back.. not since the accident 😳
"Tesla powered" today could mean you just have a Tesla window regulator. All's fairs in "Gotta get them clicks!" You made this looks super simple, but I guess it helps that you used the perfect car for the conversion.
Haha too true! And thanks 😁 It didn't seem simple when I started this project, but I'm glad it looks that way now. Hopefully the rest of the conversion goes as smoothly as this.
@@NewZeroland You'll be welding dubious control arms in and building off road Vipers in no time!
@@TheRealAlpha2 😂😂😂

Jen has how many hangers??? geezus man...
TONS 😂😂😂
"Good strippers are worth the money" 👀 hahahaha !!! We sure are assumed stupid, huh ?? Grease with instructions not to eat. Jeez, thanks...I was really contemplating eating grease.
When they make it smell so good, they're really askin for it 😂
lol@@NewZeroland
Cigarette socket is a great place for voltage meter for your 12v battery
Good idea!
Cool stuff Sam! why are you not getting rid of the clutch reservoir yet? and anything else that won't be no longer needed for that matter, surely it will free up space to better work on stuff that needs to be worked on.
I wanted to drive the car again with the new booster and brake lines to make sure it worked and didn't explode or something. Now that I know though.. it's coming out. It's ALL coming out 😈😆
@@NewZeroland Removing stuff is the most fun part! enjoy! 😁
@@NewZerolandAre there laxatives for cars??
Change out those hose clamps for smaller ones. They won't be clamping evenly.
Yeah good idea. I didn't realize how small the hoses were!
@@NewZeroland they're not under pressure so not a huge deal but id be worried about them leaking over time, especially at the plastic reservoir. Try find spring clamps instead of screw clamps 👍
You have to Choice for the car bmw xm and range rover to which car you choose
Neither one lol. I'd get a Tesla.
I hate how much is charged for the certification. Have you set aside several thousand for that rip off?
Dude, just found you. Great video. Makes mine look a bit amatuer. Where you based?
Hey thanks! That means a lot. I'm so excited about your project! I'm in Wellington. How bout you? Whenever we're both finished, we HAVE to do a video together.
@@NewZeroland yip, just up the road. Marton.
Nice! Can you share the model for the brake reservoir line retainer you made?
Yep! What's your email?
@@NewZeroland I sent you an email to avoid posting it here, thanks!
@@cgalpin hmm I didn't get anything. Email me here: mistasam@gmail.com and I'll send you the file tonight.
Hello, your project looks fantastic! I'm curious about the long-term performance of the electric brake booster. I also drive a Honda CRV from Malaysia equipped with the first-generation iBooster from Bosch. However, I've noticed some inconsistencies in the brake pedal and travel stroke. It's fine in cold weather, but once it warms up, the pedal seems too low, and there's an issue with front and rear brake bias. Have you ever encountered or experienced something similar that you could share?
Whoa, interesting! I just installed mine so I haven't run into those kinds of issues yet, bit I'll keep an eye out for them. Have you done a brake fluid flush?
Yes, I've attempted brake bleeding multiple times, but unfortunately, the improvement only seems to last for a day or two. I've decided to schedule an appointment with a senior technician at the Honda service center for next Monday. This decision came after visiting several service centers, where I encountered varying explanations. Some claimed to have performed a reset with a diagnostic tool, although it appears that they merely cleared the DTC on one of the occasions@@NewZeroland
@@Willy-vh2os interesting! Keep me posted on how that goes. I hope it's an easy fix for you.
@@NewZeroland Thanks man. My car has been left at the service center for a two-week checkup while I'm on a business trip in China.
Be honest. How much of that special punch grease did you eat?
😂 no regrets
FIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRST
how 14hours ago ?
Second!
Apperently I'm paying the wrong stipper.
😂😂😂
Any updates?
Yep there are a few more episodes to this series so far, but fabrication on the mounts hasn't started yet. Plans changed a lot haha.
Thanks. Do you remember what size the 4 nuts are for the ibooster?
@@23steph13 no, sorry. Probably 12mm though.
Ok thanks

why the beanie? I also feel like you’re a redditor too
It's cold and I'm bald lol. Sorry, I don't know how to reddit.
@@NewZeroland oh, well thanks then sir
