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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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 !
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 )
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.
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!
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!!
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
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.
Tuesday is the best day cause Tom’s schoolhouse is in session. Wow you did a tremendous job. It’s the small details that take the most time. Can’t wait for the finished product. Thanks for all you do.
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!
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 ^_^
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 UA-cam 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.
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?
You've probably already thought of this, but I saw the south main auto channel run into issues with a customer (diy) that had used regular fuel rubber hose, in the tank, not line was built to be submerged in fuel without disintegrating Just some FYI for everyone :)
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.
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.
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. :-(
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.
Lol you’re kidding right? It’s a V8 with plenty of NA torque off the line, then plenty of exhaust flow to get the turbine going and with the auto it should stay in spool until he lets off it. . We’ll see how the plumbing goes but I doubt it will be that aggregious. For tuning I’m sure it’s a speed density style calibration using manifold pressure, temperature, rpm, tps, and volumetric efficiency. What lag does exist isn’t going to be a tuning issue.
@@Turbochargedtwelve Not kidding at all. There's a reason literally no one uses a rear mounted turbo. But hey, I guess you know something the rest of the world doesn't lol
Lets NOT Play With Electricity what do you mean no one does it? I promise they do. OEMs don’t because they can design better packaging to avoid having to do it this way and it is indeed not ideal. Really though not many OEMs build turbo 5+L V8s either. Also why do you think tuning will be an issue? Drivability I believe, but other than possibly how far downstream is O2 sensor is I don’t see a tuning issue
I love the way you are so meticulous about your builds, your attention to detail is to be admired and it seems that many of you viewers watch the same channels as me, not least Project Binky from Bad Obsession Motorsports which is going to be the longest build on YT. 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.
Just wanted to say that I thoroughly enjoyed your Miata LS swap video series, and I'm really liking this Tacoma series as well. Your work is some of the cleanest and most professional that I've seen.
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.

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.
Did you use submersible fuel line on the pump?

I left Doug Demuro's video for this. I think I made the right decison.
Herbie Husker #MeToo
Herbie Husker doug is a moron
You’ve been given a Doug Score of “10” for your sound decision.
I’m sure the firebolt is LOADED with quirks and features.
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.
Was there a bit of a nod to Project Binky "getting the funk out" whilst making that bracket?
that moment made me laugh out loud :D same editing, too XD
Glad it wasn't just me that spotted this lol
Spotted this too, laughed out loud!
Came to comment the same haha
Life imitates art
And today, the Lord blesses us with a 25 minute firebolt video😍
BOOST FOR THE BOOST GOD or something.
The lord? I think you mean Summit Racing.
I think he goes by Tom these days
@@AT_motors this is true
you mean Tom blesses us
Hell of a job Tom! Can’t wait to see how it comes out and how you like it, it’s already perfect
Thank you Matt, means a lot coming from you sir! 👍🏻
This truck's going to be quite the beast!

Rickerd Aylward and some biscuits...... 😂
@@Glenncrx indeed!! Must not forget the biscuits!
most detailed videos on youtube by far
Thank you for saying that, means a ton coming from you sir!
Nothing better after a hard days work watching a TTom vid 👌👌
When you’re done, you should take it to the Hoonigan burn yard. Love the videos! Keep up the great work!
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.
I keep coming back to this video and how all the lines look after you finished really great work
Love the vids
Thank you Ed!
2 years later still watching
I love the funk, makes me think about bad obsession motorsports video :D
Love the oil filter placement 👌 perfect for off roading.
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.
So glad you went back to the old format. Much better quality. Thank you.
Love the homage to boms while you were making the transmission bracket
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.
This is legit my favorite series on YT right now. I dream of restoring and building my own tacoma.
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
it's looks like you are inspired by project binky for the making of bracket, funky music, cardboard etc...
He got the funk out.
You've gotta learn from the best ;)
Haha yep

Who else clicked thumbs up before the intro even ended 👍
Always click the like during the intro. Hahaha
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.
Did they use plastic intake manifolds?
@@jonasthemovie Watch the video and you'll know lol
@@jonasthemovie Yep, they did. And they said the mylar makes about 100-degree difference.
It's coming alive!!! Thanks Tom for the quality content as always.
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.
Your attention to detail & your ability to describe how to make it work is excellent. Loving this build 👍🔥👍
Love this channel
Outstanding work Tom 👏🏼 My dream one day would be for our trucks to meet up somday.
Hottest UA-cam channel..... Respect for the Summit because they provided to us this amazing build
SEE NIK! Standard P clips are perfectly good for assembling fuel lines! Great work Tom. quality as always!
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.

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

The high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail in your videos is always appreciated!
The most satisfying build channel to watch. My OCD thanks you 👍
Just made my day
.
Best thing to see when you get home from work ... Another TT video .
Bliss
Thank you for these videos. I love how cleanly you do everything, it's just beyond satisfying to watch.
It's a pleasure to watch such high-quality workmanship as yours, Tom.

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.
I don’t mind paying them especially when they do useful and interesting stuff like that.
Good info for Tom too!
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?
CHRISTOPHER FOX you absolutely can run port meth and I’m guessing he will end up doing that.
tom has done water/meth injection on nearly all of his project cars, he knows what he is doing..
I'd love to see Jeremy from fasterproms tune this beast. Look him up Tom 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Saw the upload, savoured the moment and had an awesome breakfast with the Tacoma build as entertainment! This channel is so underrated.
You've probably already thought of this, but I saw the south main auto channel run into issues with a customer (diy) that had used regular fuel rubber hose, in the tank, not line was built to be submerged in fuel without disintegrating
Just some FYI for everyone :)
God bless Summit Racing for making this possible
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.
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.
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.
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. :-(
He used the hose that he showed from the install kit that comes with the pump. Its submersion rated.
I concur....didn't see anything on the long hose and it looks different
Feels like I haven't seen Torch in quite a while! Glad to see he is still doing whatever Torch does :)
Yours is one of the few channels where I can just hit the like button before I even start the video! Thanks for the inspirational work!
I'm loving the process Tom! Once you're done, I'm gonna watch the playlist from front to back with some popcorn!!!
its so satisfying to see lines being routed and installed so neatly like this. Enjoying the series so far, thanks again for the content.
always love your videos! so professional! i feel like i always learn something
C4RT3R same here
Thank you for giving Lego man some facetime. Great video as always
That radiator plumbing looks like a job for a flexible coolant pipe. Much cleaner look, and fits better with those gorgeous braided lines!
watching these videos is like free therapy. Nice job!
Man Tom, you got a LOT of stuff done in this video. Good work! Also, don't feel bad... she says that to me too. 😂
😂😂😂
I love channeling the funk of Bad Obsession Motorsports at 23:11. Time to get the funk out!
Another great video!
The quality and time you put into this build is amazing! Thanks for the entertainment and instruction!
Only good thing about tuesdays . Toms turbo upload .
Love these vids .
Another great episode Tom! You did A LOT in this video...awesome content brother! (oh and nice Pun at the end! :D )
I like the way you work,I’m the same way. Do it nice and neat use quality parts and you limit break downs and just a quality build over all.
Tom. I could watch you work on cars all day, ur such an artist!
I love how you take a factory spec excellent condition vehicle, but you do a factory style engine swap with big power.. love your builds.
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.
Dude this series freaking kills it, love watching these, cant wait for the next ones.
Been looking forward to this for 2 weeks! Did not disappoint, thank you Tom!
Hey Tom I feeling more & more motivated to start MY build (Procharged LS awd 260z) from watching YOUR build man. Thanks you're doing a great job.
Tom - your bracket obsession in this video rivals Bad Obsession - though not fully. Nice work!
Top notch workmanship, and a delight to watch.
Love this build so far. Maybe a pathfinder next??
Really looking forward to the tuning part of this series. I'm dying to see how you plan to overcome the incredible turbo lag you're going to have.
Lol you’re kidding right?

Great way to end a Tuesday. Very well presented. Thanks Tom!!
Love your positive attitude,this truck is gonna be a proper sleeper
So thorough, a real pleasure to watch this. You must be getting excited Tom!!
Loving the Bad Obsession funk part during bracket fabrication.
Thanks Summit and Tom! Keep them coming. I just bought a $450 diff from Summit for the cause!
Nice to see you brought out the funk while fabricating a bracket.
What a pleasure to watch your build series ... Thanks
