New Big Boy Engine For The LS Miata! *SERIOUS POWER INCOMING!*

[@haloover]

I wish Texas speed would sponsor you and throw a built motor in there

[@victormanuelparraexposito2819]

I was just thinking of the same thing, Tylor spends a lot of time working on his miata and FC which both have LS's yet texas speed sends one crazy expensive engine to B is for Build (bullshit) to do nothing with it other than say he put it in a Lambo

[@Watchmedome3017]

Victor Manuel Parra Exposito B is for Bullshit . For some reason i don’t like that channel. He seems fake like he is forcing the way he is for the camera. But Tyler seems so chill and real.

[@Thebadbeaver9]

No Limit Brian taylor

[@scowell]

A big part of Taylor's content is these builds... I don't want to see sponsored builds, we don't learn from that... we learn from exactly these kinds of junkyard bodge jobs. Milwaukee, Holley... those are the good sponsorships for Taylor right now. Maybe later...

[@jcnpresser]

At least some ported heads and the camshaft!

[@bawjawmcgraw2232]

How has this man not been offered a texasspeed deal yet?

[@Fortenurg]

miata. fun, but hurt ya in many ways more then ya think.

[@SouthwestD313]

Because he is not really pushing engines. You don't need a Texas Speed 427 to drift.

[@Khorsathedark]

Email Texas speed. Tell them.

[@j0m017]

I love how Taylor's reasoning for an upgraded motor was that he "struggled" at Clutch Kickers. The comp that he got 2nd at, against actual Pro 1 FD cars.

[@TheDaneo22]

j0m017 at a tiny track where high horse power really doesn’t matter right? I got love for Taylor but on a long strait track. Alecs car would SMOKE the Miata

[@tuurbow]

Too much logic in this video, I love it. Probably one of the only youtubers who actually does things that make sense.

[@Dabagel100]

[@Onewheelordeal]

@@Dabagel100 it's cool how not just having money to throw at everything actually makes the videos better/more in-depth

[@disuye]

had to watch this one 3 times just to catch all the knowledge - great job Taylor

[@JLHskids]

Tag texas speed in all his post let's get this man a texas speed engine lol #doitfortaylor lol

[@dnappi85]

The fact that you take the time to explain all of this is exactly why i keep watching your videos. Thank you!

[@trentdawg2832]

You mean you don't watch send it steve!!! And his 31 project cars....lol

[@BLanczak]

Return of the dingleberry hone at McFarland Machining

[@jcnpresser]

Hey Texas speed or Brain Tooley this guy needs some ported heads and a camshaft! Guy kills it at drift events and is super humble!

[@10melah5]

I was thinking to myself that it's a weird time to rip apart the Miata with drift events and all coming.. then I remembered it's the apocalypse lol

[@lnvfx]

Isn't it weird how some of these KZbin Personalities really allow us to escape all the shit that's going on? I find myself often forgetting this pandemic while watching guys like Taylor, Adam, Garrett, etc..

[@ericysselstein2964]

"it's literally just an engine swap, simple as that" - things only Taylor can say. The man who swaps 1.8l Miata motors in 30 min

[@codywebber1534]

Love your videos man you always make great content. You explain things perfectly without going too long with it, ive learned so many things about a drifting chassis and modifications I wouldn’t even think about! Keep up the work man !👍🏼👍🏼

[@ambushdrift]

6.2 brothers 🙌🏽

[@faith_love7147]

Taylor will you ever do an update video on how it's been being a full time youtuber since making that decision to leave BC?

[@jfulleton]

Hell yea man, this is the happiest I've seen you in a while Taylor, doin it big. Lookin forward to the build man! Great video!

[@300zxdriver]

Foot cam really shows how busy a drift driver is.

[@ethanmiranda6245]

300zxdriver not the same for all cars tho some require more footwork than the others

[@realMaverickBuckley]

Yup. And that's in a 'Cheater car's (LS powered lightweight). If you watch some of the old option videos where they drifting AE86s with 110whp (128bhp) , or FC3 NAs with 125hp/145bhp

[@ethanmiranda6245]

maverick buckley eh that’s because they didn’t need a whole bunch of horsepower to have fun that miata is probably really snappy even with the ls poweplant in it i wouldn’t say its an easy driver

[@DYFEA]

man taylor you really know your stuff! im learning alot on this vid about ls engines that i didnt know before!

[@PossessedGaming07]

i've just commented on texas speed instagram asking them to support Taylor. Get on it boys. petition for sponsorship!!

[@davem7722]

You only have one Back Taylor, be kind to it. Love the 6.2 swap

[@snowfreak207]

For real back problems suck

[@CiTRusEnIMa1]

what the hell are the odds, literally just got my 5.3 in my garage today and was looking to buy an ecu and then you hit me with this holley ecu... im pumped to say the least

[@thatoneguy7140]

I've been watching your videos for quite some time now. The way you present and describe things is fantastic and I can actually understand what you're saying and really appreciate it and all the things I've learned from you. Thanks Taylor!

[@edgardcolon7750]

Shout out to Ben’s used Miata Parts in the background and Taylor keep up the great work

[@crazymike401]

Edgard Colon ben’s where sandals are the new safety equipment for garage work!!!

[@joshuahaggerty7809]

Taylor thanks for the tool review on the stubby 3/8’s just ordered one this morning! Nice deal on Home Depot’s website with two 6.0 amp hours and a 2.5 amp hour!

[@mohammedqayyum1140]

So much knowledge in 1 video, great work!

[@ivanmagliotti9322]

many people would love a ts built engine going in there, and I am one. At the same time you are one of very few drifters who really get their way around with junkyard engines making good reliable power, maybe not the most powerful but man o man, you area driver an a half, and we love seeing that, keep it up taylor!

[@ChuckThree]

9:26 Hohnadell freaking calling for the door tap in the Finals... TRay was on one that day

[@brandonherold2273]

put a nice set of heads on that motor! Even local machine shop can port your stock heads

[@300zxdriver]

Brandon Herold fasterproms will hook him up.

[@crazymike401]

I hear the happiness in your voice man. Keep it going and good luck

[@themadpants781]

Got the same impact. Love that thing. Made me move over to Milwaukee M18 and M12.

[@socal8.131]

never realized how damn knowledgeable Taylor is when it comes to this stuff, he sure does his research

[@exotichandyman]

Hell yeah! Super educational video for us guys that want to do their first ls swap. You've really become an ls guru. I love that you share that knowledge with your friends (Ben) and us. Great video!

[@jamesheaton1779]

Best all round on KZbin by far, deserve a sponsorship deal more than anyone

[@thebadassbuickfromcamrose8541]

I love the direction you're going with the ls Miata & ls rx7

[@melwinwilliam94]

It's not about what's under the hood, it's all about the driver, YOU MY MAN!! ARE AN ABSOLUTE ANIMAL OF A DRIVER!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!🔥🔥🔥🍺

[@misterwiggins757]

Helpful tip. On a OHV engine, always look through the pushrods to see if it's clear. If you re use them or not, it gives you a pretty good Indicaton on the valvetrains health.

[@dyllonleonard6341]

Nice work proud of your progression in drift, youtube, and being a mechanic.nice work. Cant wait to see the fummins running and pulling rig and miata.

[@802Garage]

I have the mid torque DeWalt and it's great for general use too when the massive one is overkill. Congrats on the new engine. Gonna be a beast. Will be an epic swaparoo series in general.

[@ajayramlogan]

So hyped for this build. Loved seeing the Miata get put together the first time and I'll be sticking around for version 2.0. it's going to be sick!

[@jessenorman9565]

The cordless impacts are extremely handy. I’ve heard good things about the Milwaukee’s. I personally have the Earthquake brand 1/2” and 3/8” impacts from Harbour Freight and they are game changers for me. 3/8” is rated at 400 ft/lbs and the 1/2” is rated at 1200 ft/lbs. idk how true the ratings are but they are stout for sure. And very reasonably priced.

[@Watchmedome3017]

Once you swap the FC you should do a nice single turbo setup on it 🔥🔥💪🏻 nice and simple.

[@pedropartida1913]

Taylor you are a wealth of information. I appreciate your work and how you explain things at garage guy level. (Something Adam doesn't do anymore)you do a great job!!

[@nathanwilliam1922]

I'm pumped to see how much more power the LS Miata gets. Taylor Ray is the man.

[@doorsmove]

I did not know he made a drift video with also showing a foot cam footage 😍 it makes the video so much more interesting to watch. I'm headed to that video right after this one.

[@nicholasnunez5100]

Love the videos nd I like how you added the clips wen you were explaining the power needs during tandems! I need to start doing a foot cam... #helpsALot!

[@addicted2fuel245]

Taylor these are great engine's I have the same one in my Mustang. Just a little advice for you either get a fluid damper or buy a crank pining kit for it. I've had 2 crank pulleys walk off of mine before I pinned it and haven't had a single issue since. And replace the stock bolt with a A.R.P one.

[@budbeardmctoken7495]

I have a 5.3 set up the same way essentially and I would be extremely happy to see 350whp out of it. 330whp is very respectable out of a mild 5.3. Some people have unrealistic expectations and views of what a engine should or would make.

[@gibsonn14]

I finally started watching Taylor's non-Fummins videos and they're awesome and I can tell his heart lies with the Miatas haha, but uh...EXCUSE ME WHERE'S THE FUMMINS!!! I got so excited seeing the start up video and I've been on the edge of my seat waiting for the next video!!

[@gertvarva]

We have a silverado with the same gen 4 engine.. look out for the second cam bearing with the oil gallery if your nail gets stuck it has low oilcomp

[@itsstocky1955]

I'm a big fan of the miata and have enjoyed watching both your and the cars progress, but I'm really excited to see the fc rip!!! I just love seeing a good beater car get thrashed on an upgraded

[@dme710gameclips9]

Hell yeah brother the LS is gonna be gnarly with the added power you're going to be even more of a force for these pro1 and pro 2 drivers in these comps!cant wait to see her rip!!!

[@derrickvanbeek5831]

Twist the spark plug wire around one time before you pull and the pop off way easier almost ever time. Even ones you have replace saves from ripping the end👍

[@Snow0255]

So I use a truck crane on my Silverado 1500 when I'm doing pipeline work and man let me tell you best thing I ever purchased. It's like having a third really strong arm lol

[@mclarenjohnf1]

Taylor in part you are describing concertina effect. The concertina effect happens at turns with a trailing car temporarily closing on a car because it's not yet braking. Then the effect is reversed coming out of a turn because the lead car accelerates first. This doesn't happen at the start of a race, because all cars do hit the accelerator at the same time.

[@craigdavies69]

Oven cleaner is awesome for degreasing but i have found it oxidizes parts if left for too long, especially aluminium. Noticed everyone mention Texas Speed for an engine, theyre awesome but maybe Fast Forward Race Engines who done Rubys 5.3 bearings and are local to you would be the go for any machining.

[@Khorsathedark]

This is awesome, when I comes to tuning you should go and spend some time with Jeremy from FasterProms....

[@douglasdrift6649]

I've learnt alot about LS engine's from watching your videos 👍

[@brianmalek3780]

Not that you need any help but swap out the heavy truck intake valves for rev friendly ls3 valves. Bump up the compression 11.1 if you can. Look over your intake options closely be hard to beat a stock camaro ls3 intake.

[@chaseplumlee5123]

I bought a flooded 05 C6 that needed a new engine a while back, trying to find a gen 4 / 24 tooth used for a decent price was difficult. Everyone wanted over 4k for a decently used one at the time so I ended up shelling out for a 408 stroker. Sounds like you got a pretty good deal on the 6.2

[@calebvrbas1885]

I AM SO STOKED FOR THIS! Great content Taylor!

[@freedomfriestv]

Neat dude! Stoked you made this video because it answered a ton of questions I just haven't researched! Good luck dude

[@xORLOCKx]

The miata finna be a beast bruh... But you should LSA and be about that life All jokes aside i also want to point out that I think this swap you are doing is bad ass and gonna be perfect. I'm super excited for the content to come. This is what I love about this channel.

[@GatheringSticks]

The foot pedal cam was genius. More Fummins please.

[@The1969chevy396]

I’m pretty sure GPI makes a vvt cam setup if you were interested. Some of the best power attainable tbh.

[@HenryDarr]

Nice one Taylor ! Glad to see you pumped and can't wait to see the content, She's gonna be a rippa 🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@torbanmirsch]

Subbed for more footcam. Highly underused cam angle that gives the viewers more appreciation of the skill that drifting takes. Been watching for awhile tho and I appreciate the content. Looking forward to seeing how the Fummins turns out

[@x0340]

First time viewer. I like how you actually go thru the building step by step. That miata is going to shred .

[@cmamsler]

Tay tay. Listen bro. You kill it bro. You do a great job of information/entertaining content. No only do I enjoy ur content. I learn a lot. Your a beast bro

[@MrQuandogg]

This man is a wealth of knowledge!!! I love these kinds of videos!!

[@jacksonreich5148]

Texasspeed makes VVT cams, they're perfect for heavier vehicles to keep the torque down low when you need it but raise the powerband on demand

[@1996FordBronco]

You are really good at explaining what your doing and why you’re doing it

[@aaron5222]

So many good builds on this channel right now

[@vaughanroberts1776]

Good work bro .Ive allways liked the way u explane things man. So ezy for us dummys how to get stuff done .

[@IDustyyy]

Hell yeah can't wait for more video on this build !!

[@CrisFlow]

IDustyDuss yeah me too big inspiration!!! Hey I just started vlogging on my channel I’m working on a s13 hatch ! Stop by if you have time ! Thank you so much brother!!!

[@devonbigelow7123]

Oh brother the Miata gonna be even more rad

[@CrisFlow]

devon bigelow yeah that thing is going to rip! Hey I just started making vlogs on my channel I’m working on a s13 hatch ! Stop by if you have time ! Thanks!

[@old_con]

Looking forward to the awesome build Taylor, very factual commentary as well 👍🏽😎

[@shotgun_chef3265]

Taylor, I would suggest when you do the cam to actually take a look at the cam bearings and if they look rough to pop a rod cap off and look at them with the sludginess of the oil in the head. If your cam bearings look rough it isn’t much to have the mains/rods done also and probably quick with how things are going right now. Also with the terminator in the future if you need more ooompf you have set it up to spray in the ECU with way more control than a typical nitrous setup. Quick way to add 100-200 hp for tracks that 500 isn’t enough or even use it as a push to pass or create a gap. “Moo-T point” BTW.

[@tyrelthibault5264]

The metal plate on the pan is for running a magnetic oil pan heater I believe

[@zerohourdrift]

Ah hell yeah taylor!!! Can’t wait to see the miata ripping harder than ever!

[@HyVeeguy27]

Congrats Taylor!! Can’t wait to see the Miata rip and dominate!!

[@willhanoch6424]

also with the camshaft, get a 3 bolt camshaft and get the camshaft sprocket for a 3 bolt that also utilizes a front camshaft sensor with the front mount lower profile front cover because you dont want to use an aftermarket camshaft that uses a single bolt and that is per texas speed also.

[@twodogsyyc6729]

You should have twice as many subs man. Love this channel and the projects dude. Keep it coming thanks for posting

[@Foaplo]

Please get this new setup on a dyno, would love to see the official numbers when its done! Awesome work and I can't wait to see you ripping the mental setup your miata's gonna become! Also ben's miata is looking dope with panels on! can't wait to see them side by side ripping!

[@corbinsmeal7808]

I still had to get a cam gear for my ls3 with my cam swap so that’s a moot point as well!

[@patricksafety]

6.2 is going to be awesome! Did you run an under drive pulley set up on the power steering pump before? If not you could give that a try, wouldn’t cost too much to try out. Also an LSA blower would be sick to see in the future.

[@micahchannell8420]

taylor you should completely destroy the engine in the Rx7 before you swap it

[@Onewheelordeal]

Yea, totally ruin that asset you own so you can't rebuild/reuse it. Maybe it'll ruin the trans too and in exchange you'll get 3mins video of an engine revving

[@micahchannell8420]

yeahitskimmel ay man all I’m saying is he ran Coca-Cola as motor oil for a Miata once. The engine is already toast for now. What’s now to like about trying to have a lil fun with it. If he had any interest in rebuilding it himself he wouldn’t drive it period.

[@Baker3939]

I bet if he did that the 5.3 probably wouldn't do anything unless the temps went way up or something coolant related went wrong to destroy the engine. Probably not worth it. He could sell it for cheap to someone instead for some extra cash.

[@brandonpanozzo86]

if i was him i would do a stock rebuild and keep it as a backup

[@micahchannell8420]

Zerohaxxis u right. These engines hecka stubborn my guy

[@dropagear_howsmyrear3695]

To the one who is always Tight on money, and now most of all. Holding a dream to slide, or any other race, You most of all, will help them hold the dream, their will to keep learning, for when they can. To know how to... when they will be able. They will go back... see.. understand and over come, because of you! I thank you!!

[@dylanaldred6673]

A Texas speed crate engine would be cool but this guy earned and bought his 6.2 build the respectable way and we all know that he wants to be part of the build process.

[@aaronhayden1780]

Throw some helper springs in the Silverado. My buddy got some from amazon and he pulls a gooseneck loaded with round bales and it does not squat much.

[@johnnunez4300]

Ahhhh the only KZbinr dedicated to his the LS in his drift cars 😎😎

[@Elswalbe]

Still like your videos, showing you working and problem solving!

[@u-genefabricationmachine4725]

We advance the cam shaft 1 to 3 degrees on the dirt late models where we can get the rpm's right away. just wanted to pass that on

[@krisbarnard1684]

While your playing musical engines You know what the FC iron 5.3 would be great in? A turbo pick-up :p

[@goldwolf2022]

The green Silverado has a 6.0 already

[@salvare0004]

New sub here. Watched a few videos of your LS Swap series as I plan to LS swap my GT86/BRZ in the near future and then I see this video. I Instantly recognise it after seeing the truck intake and square ports and i'm really hyped to hear it's an L92 as that's what i've currently got sat on an engine stand ready for some work to go ahead on it. Subbed and i'll be keeping a close eye on this engine build to see where you take it, I'll be taking notes! lol Edit: My engine is litterally identical to this, I paid £2330 (in the UK, again incredibly rare over here as we never had any escalades, etc) and also doesn't have DoD Keep up the awesome work!

[@Sauerbrew777]

So pumped!!! I can't wait to see how this turns out!

[@CrisFlow]

John Brew same here that thing is going rip!!!! Hey I just started vlogging on my channel I’m working on a s13 hatch ! Stop by if you time ! Thank you so much !!!

[@SuperSilvi1990]

Hey Taylor keep the intake. Thats one of the best Stock LS intake you could have. You could put it on a beater LS build.

[@CrisFlow]

What’s up guy ! Taylor and other car vlogger have inspired me to start a channel ! I’m working on a s13 hatch ! Stop by if you guys have time ! Thank you so much !

[@Cardenasgaragemedia]

I love what your doing with the engine, was wondering on the next vid if you can go more in detail with the VVT delete if you are going to delete it when putting in new cam.

[@GODLlKE]

always hyped for more power! Also i know this 6.2 motor well, my Yukon Denali has one it it

[@Joao.Sanches]

This is so cool man, i gotta see you drive it on the 3rd klutch kickers again

[@eddieyoung07]

You should look into helper bags for the truck, it would help a lot in saving that drivetrain and suspension

[@CTemple82]

I’m telling you man....with the new N/A monster that your putting in the Miata you should go ham and Tube the front end, mount your radiator in the back underneath the trunk and use the space all that will create to have a set of forward facing 8 to 1 headers built!
