We Put a 525HP LS3 in a Miata...THIS IS NUTS!

[@marcturner5254]

I actually love the crew you’ve got these days. Dillon is the best addition for a long time. I used to watch the channel for just the cars, now I watch it for the people too. Love and respect from the uk guys 👊🏼🙏

[@Fujistrat]

Couldn't agree more, The big strong tough dumb guy might not be that dumb. I also am jealous they're just living car guy dream life, just do cool shit all day, that's the job

[@ontariofishing1790]

We need Danny divito on here.. now that would be impressive

[@jbgrooves4023]

Yoooo, y'all got Dave Grohl working for you now? Dayum u flexin' 😅

[@the.villan]

Tony Hawk with long hair

[@nickikirketerp00]

Great to see i wasnt the only one😂

[@TheJB1980]

😂I was thinking the same thing

[@CertifiedDrummerBoy]

Even sounds like him too 😅

[@jbgrooves4023]

​@@CertifiedDrummerBoyRight 😅

[@Thatrandomguy326]

Dillion gotta be the BEST addition to the crew 😂😂

[@DH-bw2rx]

I’d suggest an oil filter relocation kit for the filter. That’s really tight to the header. Engine looks good in the car! 👍

[@tjhunt_]

for sure think this is a good idea

[@brandonward4525]

Damn didn’t see this same thing I just said

[@WillBrownCars]

Love these in depth builds! The Miata is so underrated! 🙌🏼😊

[@Insidiousk20_dc2]

No wheel base, good luck keeping that car straight

[@BostonT_]

@@Insidiousk20_dc2 Not a drag car, not meant for straight but know what you mean

[@ReCrEaTiOnS26]

Ian seems like a super smart guy with engines and he looks like he works super fast too

[@thresherST]

The Ian & Dillon combo kinda funny. Both have similar personalities it seems

[@tylern1371]

⁠@@thresherSTdefinitely have great chemistry. Hopefully he’s brought on full time the builds would move faster and the content

[@stefancioc3674]

Is it just me or does that new Ian dude kinda look like a young version of Eric Clapton?

[@dillonbragatto4705]

Keep it up TJ! Been following you since Calvin’s garage days and wow.. i feel proud to see how far this channel has come! Best of Luck!!!🎉

[@rickynegrete4066]

You gotta get Danny some Baller wheels

[@josemendoza5515]

13:44 😂😂💀 Teej didn’t look to happy right there 👀💀🙅‍♂️

[@mosthated8186]

Wait, didn’t Alex Choi already do this? Same color even. 🤔

[@nickdorward6545]

I wanna thank Dillon for making my day. Just died laughing at Randy Newman 🤣🤣🤣

[@AusMatt]

1:57 Calv flipping off through the fire wall lol

[@jacobabbott9962]

Wish I could do this to my Porsche 944. Plans for next year though!

[@samanthaeichhorn4319]

I would love to see this build!!!

[@myurcek05]

Please make Ian a fixture of the channel! Dude is hilarious!

[@andybirish962]

That oil filter going to cook maybe a relocation kit? :) Great build though

[@jaxontaisey7538]

tj u should do a r35 build and make a street hunter widebody kit!!!

[@MauricioBarragan]

Hey Dillion if you’re reading this, you installed your underwear backwards.

[@connorweis330]

Bro that was so funny when Danny was squeezing that piece in I was tryna poop😂😂😂

[@RaiderJose650]

Crazy how growing up the only trans we knew were in cars 😂😂😅 all jokes

[@DKRGaming]

When you said the white FD RX-7 build was 6-7 years ago my jaw dropped... I can still remember you buying the dang thing and I believe it was the first time you did an all white with carbon accent build. Time is flying my friend. It has been astonishing to see your channel progress and evolve as well as you and the whole team.

[@gabewilson81]

came to say the same thing wtff

[@dshans18]

Why does Ian look like the Italian TikTok kid Cugine? Tell him to say take care brush ya hair

[@kevintjahaja1008]

You aint fooling no one teej. We all know you invited astronauts Howard Wolowitz there

[@rickriner]

Yooo TJ!!!! -The Subscriber that made the comment referring too your Gasket… Deserves a REWARD!! That was a big F-up, you would of never known about if it wasn’t for that guy

[@Helmofterror]

I respect and love his input! But I knew it was backwards on my own accord Friday night, and fixed my own mistake at my expense as well ❤

[@itsjustderek]

I ABSOLUTELY LIVE FOR THE END OF VIDEO BLOOPERS 😂

[@Zayd0o0o]

You guys got the dude from the tv show Lincoln lawyer 😂

[@devonstarnes867]

This is going to be a fun ride

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

Race when. RACE WHEN.

[@jeremyk9728]

The crews banter is 10/10. The fact you thought you'd do this in one day is also hilarious, just like the banter 😉

[@xGLITCHESx]

Needs a Pair of snails

[@joshuaabren]

Damn dude you should have just bought him a c6 lol

[@DannyCourtney1]

I am so incredibly stoked for this beast of a go kart!

[@anthonyhang2469]

Ian is an awesome and funny guy! Perfect addition to the crew. 💯

[@lynxproductions]

Calvin with the face smoothing filter looks even smoother than usual

[@aaronl9564]

Dillon has his own ReefFraiser

[@tyrefiretv2908]

Finally! An update on the build hahaha I've been dying to see this hahahaha

[@BjornPNW]

“SHEESH” needs to die. Soooo 🌽🌽🌽

[@AlexStricklin]

Time for another great episode. Loving this series so far.the intro to the video was hilarious

[@SebastianAlmeda]

Ian is perfect 👌

[@Joeboost8805]

[@Joeboost8805]

Why not get your ecu harness. But its NOT easy!!! Doing my first build with my 13BTURBO and FUELTECH THEY JUMPED ON BOARD ,AND IM MAKING A CRAZY COMEBACK AFTER 7 YEARS. GET AT MEEEE BROTHER

[@guesswhodsf5644]

Such an inspiration working hard to live my dream like you tj

[@stynkebutt]

Killer vid add usual. For thread repairs, where there's enough meat in the parent material, look into stocking some Timesert options. They can be a lot more robust (depending on the parent material) and are a more permanent repair when compared to a helicoil.

[@DJSekuHusky]

You're rebuilding an LS while I'm rebuilding my KA; I'm actually block-sanding my timing covers while I watch this in prep for the paint booth. I've already soaked the head, pistons, cams, oil pump, buckets and valves in Diesel, gave them a scrub and they went from poop brown to bright shiny silver. Thankfully, no signs of hot spots on the cams or bearings, and the cross-hatching was good on all 4 cylinders. My head gasket failed around cylinder 4 (exterior oil leak) and it was a mess to clean, but my timing chains and tensioners were looking a lot better at 185k than the tensioner in that LS3. Yikes. Giving everything on the exterior a coating of high-temp enamel tomorrow; beginning with primer, basecoat (for lettering), Cast Iron topcoat, then gloss clear to seal it off and give it shine. All the engine bits will be flushed with parts cleaner then soaked in hot oil for a few days prior to reassembly. My KA will be looking just as minty fresh as that LS when it's done; only you're gonna have a full 375HP advantage over my (stock) KA when you're done. 😂 A bit jealous, NGL. Glad you guys caught the damage in time and did a proper teardown before gifting the car...you don't really know 'til you know, you know? Loved watching this build start to finish. Looking forward to the finished product. Keep it up y'all!

[@Thatrandomguy326]

Congrats on Danny.. cannot wait to see this build finish 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@rahulsadheo1960]

Is that a monster I see? FTB 🎉

[@DLivingston]

are you all running a skin smoothing filter/ai deal on your footage or are my eyes chalked. k back to the video. Love this build series btw.

[@bespincustompropsbombarta8300]

Pretty sure you should be using the tw300 pump with that much engine, my ls1 monaro is 350 hp and the 300 is the version needed.

[@olyhawkes1538]

Love you from the uk!

[@ryandrzewiecki2467]

Get it!!!

[@01Samuraii]

Is ean an Ian or an Ean? I feel like he gives Ian vibes but he def looks like it spelt Ean. Why do I feel like it’d be better if was the other way around? …Maybe it wouldn’t be. Ean (Ian).. lmk. Or don’t. Leave it a mystery if u will. Father. Sorry

[@walther89]

Dillon + CREW is MVP now holy, tbh i enjoy alot more these videos :D less skiping

[@YamahaYz250]

I love how a few "hour" engine swap, single video turned into a multiple video series on a bada** swap😅 👏 👏 🔥 Stay blessed 🙌

[@jacobmckevitt7750]

some sound deadening in the interior while its apart might be nice - love the build!

[@ENLGHTND]

Miata!!!! 👀

[@icandreamstream]

These build vids are so damn fun.

[@MartinMitchell-v1i]

I am enjoying this build as I have MK1 MX5 and was looking to put a coyote or maybe a Ferrari V8 engine in it. What do you think?

[@guesswhodsf5644]

Let’s go!!!!!!

[@rjwlax]

There's these things, according to Google, called wrenches that you turn, which makes these other things, some call parts go together. And then they're supposed to work according to those on these things called forums......

[@christopherharris6005]

Awesome video as always TJ Hunt and Crew.

[@GrandPitoVic]

There you go. What I don't know, Google knows ROFLMFAO

[@SebastianJWMX]

🔥🔥🔥

[@GoodEnoughGarage69]

If you mix Chelsea Denofa and Howard Wolowiscz together you have Ian

[@firstnamelastnameisallowed7943]

14:55 need to make a sticker of TJ face and just say "it fit good" under it. Not a realistic pic of him but like a stick figure edition of him and they can be for crazy swaps like this car. Maybe it was just the way he said it but idk I thought it was funny..

[@neamanja]

I said i would like the video when I tought when he is going to mention catching them not changing piston rings and then they say some nonesense about gasket f that gasket what about piston rings man explain it

[@itsneuman]

Imagine if you just built the BP that was in it to make 700+ like the boys in Florida and PR do.

[@gizmofrek]

Good Morning guys. 5:54AM here in Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

[@ajmcgrew9362]

Maybe I’m as baked as Kevin was in the last video, but please have Ian stand next to Kyle in the next video for a comparison 😂😳

[@HaydenCroix]

Honestly more invested in watching this build more than any other.

[@e.s.77]

I feel like the main channel has been left in the dirt. To much effort into the "clips" crap. To bad cause im a huge fan of the main channel daily vlog style....

[@parkerweyer6145]

Video 209 of asking Tj for a SB11-HDSS ACT clutch kit

[@yungyungin8903]

Ian looks exactly like @Meals_by_cug

[@justinhelm8736]

Bet you’d get a lot more views on views if you just film your gf the whole time. The cars are pretty cool too. Just less of you.. more of Sophia

[@_PatG_]

The OGs understand teejs face when Calvin said “your mom is…” and then the hard cut.

[@brandonward4525]

Why not reroute the oil filter location? I mean it’s commonly done for other cars as well Calvin seems pretty capable of figuring out a way or making something to be able to reroute it if worried about it being so close to the headers

[@mikechampaco895]

My Birthday is on the 17th. Can I get a free shirt 🥺👉🏼👈🏼 🤡😭

[@flashu_]

will you be restocking the slow sundays rx-7 tees?

[@kelpiee-519]

Milk , cookies , AND a new Miata video from TJ?? Yessir 😎😎

[@plugpenguin1660]

a hardtop would be perfect to finish it

[@thomas9079]

Awesome!

[@joedaddy7848]

Y’all should connect with Taylor ray. He has a lot of experience in ls engines in Miata’s

[@davidrangeljr_]

“I don’t know why they’re wide body-ing pilot bearings” 😂😂

[@ethandovan]

I play a drinking game watching these videos… take a shot whenever a sexual innuendo is said…

[@itstravisg]

I love that the entire video was filmed with the skin smoothing on the camera 😂😂

[@rickynegrete4066]

Like the movie water boy when he gets attacked by the gorilla, but he was really playing Foos ball

[@tdlaustralia7791]

Might want to heat wrap the headers and surrounding stuff or coat them.

[@Dansyoung]

Great video series I’m doing the same swap but in a 2005 RX-8

[@jeffcastles59]

You were sponsored by mvmt before the fd, it was around the time you got Selena that the sponsorship started

[@ThatOneGuySometime]

8:46 my hands look like that every week day (and most weekends). It’s not that bad. That’s why we have soap.

[@rglce25]

I remember back in the day they would put a 5.0 mustang engine in those miatas and called it a miata monster.

[@leblanc40]

If you hit up Taylor ray! He will know about the steering

[@tonybarata4533]

Keep the miata videos coming

[@georgekrapivko]

Time to “steal” Dillons JZ46 and make that turbo sang fr fr

[@_PatG_]

Good to see Jumba, feels like it’s been a MINUTE. Haha

[@peachi_8614]

Hearing dillan sing short people got actually made me laugh cause my dad sings that to me all the time even tho I’m catching up to him😂

[@motorfanatics_com]

Well it now is more like a car built around an engine, instead of the other way around... 😅

[@grindertacos]

Wtf the rx-7 build was 6 years ago, it doesn’t feel like it😭

[@ThatOneGuySometime]

If this car gets registered in CA, please touch on the process of how it is done. I and many others I am sure want to know how to do that.

[@PewLifeCed]

im a short bigger guy and I love the new t-shirt literally feels so comfortable and is long enough to cover the gut but not to long where it looks like a dress

[@darinramadhar3643]

Guys please all I ask is just a shout outt Darin from TRINIDAD

[@CKyAnarchy]

Early squad. anyone gotten there orders since the Z sweepstakes started? i havent.
