LSX V8 Turbo Tacoma - Project Firebolt Part 10

[@TomsTurboGarage]

Thank you for the support and motivation everyone! Sometimes it's hard to keep up the momentum on a project and I thank each and every one of you for the great comments and everything else you do to support my videos. I hope you're having fun with whatever you are wrenching on or out there racing in!

[@MillersPlayground]

Good job Tom!

[@TheAntinowherelane]

Tom, I'm still probably a couple years away from owning a home, let alone starting a project build. But watching your LS swaps into small vehicles (And being a Sunbeam Tiger fan) gives me the motivation to get there someday. Keep up the awesome work dude!

[@KarlCarpenter]

Not that it's really practical for you or anything but Weigels and Speedway in Clinton by the interstate sell E85 if you ever need it in the future.

[@ayersauto]

Did you use submersible fuel line on the pump?

I left Doug Demuro's video for this. I think I made the right decison.

[@ZEPRATGERNODT]

You’ve been given a Doug Score of “10” for your sound decision.

[@alexnelson09]

I’m sure the firebolt is LOADED with quirks and features.

[@TheAntinowherelane]

Watch Doug open a quirky ashtray v. Watch Tom demonstrate useful LS swap info. Not a tough decision lol. That said I do like Dougs videos -- just not as much as Toms.

[@BVM03]

Was there a bit of a nod to Project Binky "getting the funk out" whilst making that bracket?

[@vanoscrap6296]

that moment made me laugh out loud :D same editing, too XD

[@paulwisdom5383]

Glad it wasn't just me that spotted this lol

[@PanCubano]

Every time I watch one of your videos, I'm always feeling floored at the amount of detail that you put into your work. From the little things like cushion mounts to using the heater hose at specific locations for vibration and noise. It's something that I can appreciate.

[@SloppyMechanics]

Hell of a job Tom! Can’t wait to see how it comes out and how you like it, it’s already perfect

[@TomsTurboGarage]

Thank you Matt, means a lot coming from you sir! 👍🏻

[@hanskinslo326]

This truck's going to be quite the beast!

[@SpudEater]

I get paid bi-weekly and blessed with a new video bi-weekly from your channel as well. The amount of work that goes into working on the Tacoma, the camera work and editing along with the consistency makes me VERY happy to say the least.

[@Gutowski424]

When you’re done, you should take it to the Hoonigan burn yard. Love the videos! Keep up the great work!

[@Questchaun]

Love the oil filter placement 👌 perfect for off roading.

[@usernamehere1]

So glad you went back to the old format. Much better quality. Thank you.

[@JasonSimonSmith]

Really enjoy the cleanliness of your executions.. that - and there's a dynamic where I'm smelling hours of research are behind each and every part chosen .. Mad props. Rock on mate !

Your attention to detail & your ability to describe how to make it work is excellent. Loving this build 👍🔥👍

[@Hades2Eros]

Love the homage to boms while you were making the transmission bracket

[@martinultimatevw3779]

Nothing better after a hard days work watching a TTom vid 👌👌

[@sampickett3843]

Tom, I have enjoyed the entire series. I would be interested in a future video that shows what your testing rig looks like for pressure testing all your hose fitting assemblies.

[@iMann_iFail]

Tomth, I had your video playing in the background and thought for a second that a project binky video came on.. 23:10 a bit of funky music with some bracket fabrication, noice.

[@edayala9171]

I keep coming back to this video and how all the lines look after you finished really great work Love the vids

[@TomsTurboGarage]

Thank you Ed!

Always click the like during the intro. Hahaha

[@rkmk1441]

This is legit my favorite series on YT right now. I dream of restoring and building my own tacoma.

[@EldarKinSlayer]

Start at the beginning of Project Binky on Bad Obsession Motorsports. Tom builds a nice bracket, but he'll admit that Nik builds brackets that look like showpieces and will withstand Nuclear War. Project Binky is about building the fastest 4x4 Mini on the planet 5 years now and it might work LOL

[@Thefabforums]

most detailed videos on youtube by far

[@TomsTurboGarage]

Thank you for saying that, means a ton coming from you sir!

[@lttseng1]

Thank you, Tom, for making these videos. Much appreciated.

[@darkcrystal999]

It's coming alive!!! Thanks Tom for the quality content as always.

[@johnspecht72]

The high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail in your videos is always appreciated!

[@magnuspaulsson311]

As commented earlier, make sure the lines you use in the fueltank are actually rated for fuel submersion, regular fuel lines handle fuel internaly but externaly will get ”spungy” with the years and the hoseclamps will slip of and the hose ”pop loose” from the pump. Great video and great job as always! Keep up the great work! Best regards from Sweden

[@CrazedSymptoms]

This is 100% my favorite series I look forward to every other Tuesday. Your work is incredible! Keep it up

[@slvr1.618]

Neat,clean,clinical and the way it should be done,always enjoy your content an feel inspired by your work!thank you for the AWESOME videos!

[@justenolson307]

Love this build, very unique. You're definitely the best build channel on youtube, and your videos are very informative. Keep up the awesome work, can't wait to see fire bolt when she's done!!

[@ploponmybigredcouch]

Thank you for these videos. I love how cleanly you do everything, it's just beyond satisfying to watch.

[@budddyrda]

On Fasterproms video yesterday they mentioned using a piece of Mylar under the intake manifold to keep intake temperatures down. They said it made a big difference.

[@jonasthemovie]

Did they use plastic intake manifolds?

[@noanoxan]

@@jonasthemovie Watch the video and you'll know lol

[@numinous4789]

@@jonasthemovie Yep, they did. And they said the mylar makes about 100-degree difference.

[@georger9998]

Haha yep

[@n8rivera74]

All that was missing was the obligatory cup of tea! Both TTG and BOM have talented fabricators. Talented film editors, too. I'd say TTG has a gifted fabricator, BOM has a genius fabricator. The difference between a hobbyist and careerist. I wonder if we will get a "Wait for the beep!" moment.

[@duffman825]

The most satisfying build channel to watch. My OCD thanks you 👍

[@DavidWilliams-nj5cn]

Good progress pal, I love your work

[@paulnolan7509]

Consider changing that fuel-rail feed and return setup from series to parallel. Feed into a Y-splitter, with equal length hoses to each rail. Return same deal, equal length hoses into a Y fitting, back to FPR. This makes sure the pressure across each injector is as equal as could be, minimising potential per-cylinder lean state.

[@albertolomio]

The quality of the work you do amazes me, i commented the same thing in the miata project...you inspire me you make things perfect every time, whatever the project. Keep it up. Awesome vids, nice pace, can't wait to see this beast fired up!

[@h3llb1lly889]

SEE NIK! Standard P clips are perfectly good for assembling fuel lines! Great work Tom. quality as always!

[@BKLYF]

I love the funk, makes me think about bad obsession motorsports video :D

[@mruggadugga2998]

Tom the attention to detail you provide is out of this world! Loving all the videos. I dont think I’ve ever sat through a video this long without fast forwarding. Keep up the great work!

[@woopimagpie]

Some great work going on here. All those AN fittings and braided hose, wow. That level of quality workmanship is far above what Toyota ever envisaged for a Tacoma I'll bet. Outstanding.

[@ozman1975]

Outstanding work Tom 👏🏼 My dream one day would be for our trucks to meet up somday.

[@SkyLinMegas]

Just made my day . Best thing to see when you get home from work ... Another TT video . Bliss

Ooh, time to get the funk out! But, are you gonna make the noise?? ;D This whole project blows my mind. Such epicness! Thank you for taking the time to share your projects with us.

[@buaan]

Love your vids, Tom. Thanks for sharing.

[@moonsengineeringadventures623]

Awesome work ! as always! I would make sure that fuel line in the tank is fuel submersible rated, otherwise it will break down and come gooey and loose over time, and possibly leak.

[@nomadben]

It's a pleasure to watch such high-quality workmanship as yours, Tom.

[@danielbrown7077]

Nice work, make sure the rubber in the fuel tanke supporting the pump is fuel compatible

[@bryanleverett2830]

I like it !! Tom “getting the funk out” with that BO motorsports jazz with the trans cooler mount. Also..... I did the same thing with replacing the knock sensors with brand new oem sensors and brand new oem harness. Then..... Matt told me to instantly turn the knock sensors off with the Holley Dominator lol. Seems with Turbo LS truck motors, if your knocking to the point the sensors are actually retarding timing, it’s already too late. And before that point, the sensors are picking up noise, retarding timing when it shouldn’t be. (Driveline noise may not be an issue on a turbo Tom build lol )

[@joelwells.]

watching these videos is like free therapy. Nice job!

[@robmatthewswoodturning4988]

Did you get the funk out, while making that bracket at 23 mins? Nice. Just gotta make the noise... And an AaronCake reference at the end too? winner winner Tom.

[@weeksMZ]

Did a small project and just watching your videos over the years helped save a lot of headache by measuring things out before starting, tracking bolts and such. Love your video as always top quality and entertaining.

[@kevothomas9596]

Tom. I could watch you work on cars all day, ur such an artist!

[@808v1]

its so satisfying to see lines being routed and installed so neatly like this. Enjoying the series so far, thanks again for the content.

[@GrahamDallas]

Great video. The Bad Obsession Guys will be rolling their eyes at you using off the shelf p-clamps when you had a perfectly good opportunity to fabricate something bespoke.

[@Horton91]

Love this channel

[@d.mat.zero6525]

this reminds me of the days back in middle school/high school were when you bought a used car the 1st things you did were an oil n coolant change, spark plugs (platinum plus 4s bc at the time you were young n thought that was better) wires n rotor.

[@jp2246]

As you get into the details, it becomes apparent how clean that truck is, must have been really babied by the prior owner. You picked a good one! I could not believe how clean the top of the fuel tank was.

[@Asomesauc]

God bless Summit Racing for making this possible

[@joannaatkins822]

You do such great work! I loved all the humor and production in this video, Firebolt is going to be such a gorgeous truck when all the jobs are buttoned up ^_^

[@telemarkski2010]

You appear to be treating the cab and the frame as a single unit but they are rubber mounted and there will be some movement which can potentially damage the things that you are bolting to both... Keep up the great content! Adam

[@comfort_in_discomfort]

Tom - your bracket obsession in this video rivals Bad Obsession - though not fully. Nice work!

[@titiwin25]

What a pleasure to watch your build series ... Thanks

[@OneTrueCat]

That radiator plumbing looks like a job for a flexible coolant pipe. Much cleaner look, and fits better with those gorgeous braided lines!

[@bergi85]

I love channeling the funk of Bad Obsession Motorsports at 23:11. Time to get the funk out! Another great video!

[@Jasonoid]

The quality and time you put into this build is amazing! Thanks for the entertainment and instruction!

[@zorbratron]

Nice to see you brought out the funk while fabricating a bracket.

[@catchphillies]

The most organized and neat dude in the world.

[@ShanesGettingHandy]

Did you use submersion rated rubber fuel line for the in-tank portions? Over time it can be a huge issue if you did not.

[@aussiebloke609]

Agreed. A lot of hoses rated for fuel are only really rated to have fuel on the _inside._ Crossing fingers and hoping - it would suck for Tom to have to drop it later with a full tank because the hose perished.

[@aussiebloke609]

PS: At 8:15 one line clearly says "INTANK" on the outside, and the other does not - and looks quite different also. I predict a bit of a kerfuffle in the future. :-(

[@wyatt7747]

He used the hose that he showed from the install kit that comes with the pump. Its submersion rated.

[@eddiefromcali]

I concur....didn't see anything on the long hose and it looks different

[@nbowling10trio]

I was just watching Chris from B is for Build who has a burnt out Lambo that he is planning on taking to SEMA in 90 days.

[@FELiPES101]

we're pretty close now...cannot wait!

[@BigFurnyy]

Absolutely love your quality of videos Tom! This thing is going to be a weapon when it’s done!!

[@mrclown7469]

I'm not sure I'd rely on water/meth injection on an LS, unless you directly port each runner. Engine Masters (remember them?, they used to be on KZbin and relevant...) recently did a video on water/meth injection on an LS. They got really bad distribution of the water/methanol because (they theorized) the manifold was designed for air not liquid, and all the water/methanol ended up effectively being blown to the rear cylinders only.

[@Turbochargedtwelve]

I don’t mind paying them especially when they do useful and interesting stuff like that. Good info for Tom too!

[@vividvulpe9842]

Is it possible to run a spider like apparatus to each of the intake runners- like individual injecting ports through the plastic instead of through intake?

[@Turbochargedtwelve]

CHRISTOPHER FOX you absolutely can run port meth and I’m guessing he will end up doing that.

[@cyz44]

tom has done water/meth injection on nearly all of his project cars, he knows what he is doing..
