I hope you had the idea to put your USB ports into the small bezel are you have to made. This would solve your cable management requirement too ;-) I did this on one of my cars. Its really neat to have just USB ports where you can plug in your laptop or t update the screen. I also added powered USB for the phone etc. Keep up the superb work on your cars! Love your working style and approach of dealing with problems and solving them. I like that a lot
I did exactly that for my dominator and digital dash USB plugs. I used panel mount USB feedthrough jacks, they’re cheap on Amazon. A lot neater than having the cables hang out of a hole under the dash!
I'm loving the content man. How creative you are coming up with custom solutions, the way you explain what you're doing, it's awesome for noobs like myself. Very informative.
Great video as always! We always love your build content! Our Ghost Box would be the perfect solution! It is a 200W (50W x 4 channel) amplifier with Bluetooth and even has 2 integrated RCA outputs and a remote wire for easy use with an amplifier and subwoofer. What would be the best way to contact you? We’d love to see what you think of it!
Hey Taylor I think you need to see Dr tune em all. Put on the dyno. Have it tuned for you. Then you'll be able to beat the snot out of it and not hurt it.
Keep up the amazing work Taylor! I hope you can get great use of the new shop and can't wait to see what goodies you've got for the Vette. Been watching you religiously since the start of the fummins build and never missed a video since. You're so inspirational and I hope to have some projects of my own one day!
The argon saga continues! It’s been awesome to watch this build Taylor, especially with a ton of work being done in your garage. Really brings back the roots of being an enthusiast, and I’m sure it was an awesome experience for you to revisit a true garage build experience while simultaneously building your dream shop. Keep kicking ass and bumping Atmosphere!
Taylor, your fab skills have reached the stratosphere bud. It's so cool to watch you discover an issue, mull over the 'why's and what-for's', find a solution then BUILD IT! Well done on this episodes projects partner.
Dang, I'm early! Much love Taylor, keep on thrashing my guy. We love the approach that you take when you build and fab things. Very methodical and logical, testing is always a teaching tool 🤷🏼♂️
Am seeing this issue with a lot of the racer UA-camrs when it comes to cooling, might want to look into picking up a book about aerodynamics. The big thing with car/truck coolers is duct work. The part that so many forget is that ALL of the flow is down to pressure differentials. You could make the most beautiful ductwork to the front of the coolers, but if the area behind it is pressurized, you are still not going to have any flow. This is why so many engine bays have all that shrouding that tends to reach the front axel line, the airflow under the car, over the wheel wells, tends to create a low pressure zone, IF those shrouds are in place, causing a much higher pressure differential across the radiators, and not require a fan when moving at speeds over 35 mph. I used to have these same issues with my cars, and at the time I was trying to get the car to run cool around Death Valley in the summer time while running AC, until I did some proper ductwork and shrouding. It is wintertime, so what might be working now wont once things start to hit summer temperatures. I worry that a lot of that plastic shrouding you took off that separated the wheel well from the engine bay is now creating poor pressure differentials across your coolers
Just some fine tuning now Taylor, it's awesome man clearly puts down some good power when it's in boost. Can't wait to see it rip when it's dialed, the screen looks great in that location 👍😃
I would say try a 60mm wastegate and keep the dump to the atmosphere. I can’t wait to see a full pull in it. This does make me want to build a mini truck with a v6 just to do big burn outs lol. Love the videos they rock.
Relocate the stereo head unit under your climate control panel u have the room plus will be super easy to run the existing harness to it. Love the videos keep up the great work
Maybe add a second gate on the crossover at a nice angle in the direction of exhaust flow. Might take alot of the work off the 1st gate that has compremised routing due to space restaints.
Love the content! Nice to see that you got the truck running again. About the wastegate position, if you have problems with room to put it maybe putting it on the turbo exhaust housing would be a solution.
I'm definitely in the situation you described in the beginning of falling down the rabbit hole when initially building a car. I bought a 1977 280z and I still have yet to drive it and it's been almost two years. I should've just slowly swapped stuff out and got it running with the original motor but I got an LS1/T56 combo to throw in and before I put the motor in I thought might as well refresh it and put a new cam, and I got coilovers and thought well might as well refresh the entire suspension, and wanted to get brakes so I thought might as well get wilwood disk brakes all the way around. It's been that way for literally everything on the build, and the worst part is I still have the factory rear end with slightly upgraded cv's so it can't really handle any launches with the torque I'm making so I can't really drag race it, can't really drift it because no angle kit and I would hate to have oil starvation issues on a freshly rebuilt motor like you had, so I just have a glorified street car. Still cool but I could've kept the stock motor and saved thousands and thousands of dollars and several months of time.
Just enjoy it how you can and chip away at the other stuff. To me it’s more fun that way. You get bored of it. Then upgrade it. Instead of it being all done for the first enjoyment.
@@Taylordrifts Very true, I'm way too prone to give into the "while you're there" syndrome. Keep up the great work hope your new shop gets finished quickly.
For your boost creep issue, make sure the turbo hot side intake and the blowoff valve junction is a Y and not a T. The angle of the blowoff valve in relation with exhaust flow makes a huge difference in how much flow actually goes through the blowoff valve...
I understand what you're trying to say (create a path of least resistance) but... That's not how that works.. boost creep is from the wastegate not bleeding off enough exhaust pressure before the turbine housing causing it to produce more boost even though it's open. BOV should only open when you come off of the throttle.
@@carguy0741 What I am saying is having a straight angle creates a low pressure zone in the pipe at the blowoff valve that prevents it from working properly.
Right idea, wrong valve. Have a “Y” at the Wastegate. Having a “T” or weird angles there can cause poor flow through the gate, causing boost creep and back pressure. Creep is always caused by the wastegate not flowing adequately, either because of size or angle.
If you've got the room, add a 60/66. If not just add a 2nd 44/46. You can also get a tad of creep from super low timing when people are trying to be "safe" but just end up with more egt which means more boost. Lastly I'd run the larger coolar and run it horizontally in the back, just fab up a little aluminum duct/scoop. Works great, we do plenty like that. Placing them in front of the radiator just preheats the air going into the radiator.
@Taylor Ray, newer jeep commanders/cherokees/liberties etc. (05-09 for sure) have a transmission cooler built into the ac condensers. It helps cool the trans more and it's an all in one package
Just add a 2nd gate on the crossover! There's plenty of room under there and won't need much for a dump tube (read: nothing). Most kits only have a single WG on the x-over, yours with one at the turbo will bypass plenty.
After you get the factory condenser installed. You will have more info to work on. Also, install a back pressure sensor between the down pipe and the splitter for the tips. I bet you are going to have boost control issues because of the neck down. Especially if you ever plan. To increase power.
I really really want to see this truck on some welds with radials and getting down on the street and the track. This is exactly why I wanna do. Finding a clean RCSB in Maine is not easy lol. Not for the less then 15k
You have done pretty good on most of it... for one, your young and your eyes work well so small screens are okay but for me, it would of also take out the one defrost vent and put it through the top of the dash with a cap on it to push cool air to driver and all other stuff would get relocated. I am a fan of largest screen available. The more that I think on it, I might run the duct for that vent down to a persons feet. Over all, nice work Taylor
I know this is 4 months old but the best way in my opinion (so you dont have to move it) would be a combo between the fan and like maybe a scoop that can grab air while driving.
Heat the rear housing till its near glowing and weld the wastegate directly to it, let it cool slowly wrapped in a bunch of old welding gloves/jackets.
Trans fan would prob work a little better if you fab up a shroud for it so it would pull air through the whole cooler. Seems like a job that's rite up your ally . Great vid as always
Taylor, I like the green truck as I have a history with one very much like it. I would ask one thing of you and that's to include some status report on the new shop, even if its simply "still waiting for xyz. Looking forward with a happy soul for you when they turn it over to you.

@@Taylordrifts with it not sticking I would recommend hair spray and turning your bed temp up, I had the same problem all the time. You might also want to change filaments, and for cad I use fusion 360 and just say I’m a student lol
i wanna say there's a kit to where you can put the single din in the center console, also i vote recirc into the exhaust on the gates, let it be mean and spit flames out of the side
Talk to Vice grip about converter lock up and trans temp issues. He is going through the same stuff. Something doesnt seem/sound quite right to me but not there in person. Hope you enjoy it!
For street truck I think recirculating the dump would be the move
Eh, no point if it’s got a map or a blow through maf. Gotta have the pssshhhh
Did you mean relocating? I don’t understand what you mean by recirculating
@@brianjacobs1241 he means that the wastegate downpipe should be going to the turbo downpipe instead of just on the ground

The ghost box is so dope!!! I recommend it
The ghost box isn’t just an amp it’s like a head unit but is comepletely hiden. It adds Bluetooth to any 80s-90s dash without changing the din
@Jim jibroni read my above comment. Then go check them out. I don’t even work for them. It’s just sick
@Jim jibroni extra amp output. Music sync under glow? I don’t know there just cool lol
Hey Taylor I think you need to see Dr tune em all. Put on the dyno. Have it tuned for you. Then you'll be able to beat the snot out of it and not hurt it.
BIG thumbs up on the Brother Ali. Don't really know many people who are into him so i get excited when people are and to see you bumping him is sweet.
Keep up the amazing work Taylor! I hope you can get great use of the new shop and can't wait to see what goodies you've got for the Vette.
Been watching you religiously since the start of the fummins build and never missed a video since. You're so inspirational and I hope to have some projects of my own one day!
I can’t wait to see wheels and tires on the truck. You are very very smart love to see your work and ideas well done
The argon saga continues! It’s been awesome to watch this build Taylor, especially with a ton of work being done in your garage.

Those orange hoses in the thumbnail shot had me thinking they were high voltage electrical lines for an EV for a second haha. Awesome build man!
You can just relocate your radio to the cubby above the cup holders
thats what I was thinking
If all you use is bluetooth then this is actually way simpler method!
Don't have to sacrifice the cubby why would you
Nothing better than driving a car with a motor that you put together yourself, can't wait to drive my car when I'm done
Taylor you are part of the reason I’m in welding school right now.
You should totally take the truck on a drag and drive event, just a moddest tune to put it through its paces.
I agree, join up with cleeter and the gang or the boosted boiz. pretty sure you'd love it
Dang, I'm early! Much love Taylor, keep on thrashing my guy. We love the approach that you take when you build and fab things. Very methodical and logical, testing is always a teaching tool 🤷🏼♂️
Am I the only one who thinks this would be an awesome car for drag and drive events?
That is probably one of the LEAST unique thoughts about this truck.

You should get a full ridetech coilover kit and give it insane handling
would be cool if u took this truck to drag week type events
Maybe add a second gate on the crossover at a nice angle in the direction of exhaust flow. Might take alot of the work off the 1st gate that has compremised routing due to space restaints.
Yeah that’s the plan. Gate should be here tomorrow.
@@Taylordriftsnice!! loving this build dude!
The perfect drag and drive truck.
Can't wait to see you take this on a drag week man. Perfect rig for it and hope to see you join all the other Florida boys, keep up the good work!!!

There are Bluetooth amps now that eliminate the need for a headunit. They work pretty good for simple setups.
The extra gate on the crossover like most suggested on your sloppy mech post will definitely do the trick. I think personally it is the better option
I get so pumped to see a new T-Ray Video is up thanks man.
My turbo truck with an 80e uses the Tru-Cool 40k. I've never seen trans temps over 180, pretty nice cooler
Man I need the Taylor playlist. I’ve heard snips of rymsayers to Jedi mind tricks in the OLD videos
With room not in your favor you could weld the gate right to the back housing of the turbo. Doesn't look the cleanest but it works.

Would love to see you take the truck on something like sick week
The the trans cooler up behind the bumper and drill some holes in the bumper for air flow
mine done the same thing, i put the second gate on the cross over pipe
Get the derale trans cooler with fan built in. Big enough for the big diesel trucks
Just add a 2nd gate on the crossover! There's plenty of room under there and won't need much for a dump tube (read: nothing). Most kits only have a single WG on the x-over, yours with one at the turbo will bypass plenty.
If you pull the grill out it’ll fit right behind it in front of the condenser
Thought this truck was gonna go on sick week.
After you get the factory condenser installed. You will have more info to work on. Also, install a back pressure sensor between the down pipe and the splitter for the tips. I bet you are going to have boost control issues because of the neck down. Especially if you ever plan. To increase power.
Taylor, see about using the blanking plate to hold two USB ports for the Dash and tuning lead. Makes sense to have them where you know they are ;)
The dash install looks so cool. 🤙

Find yourself the stock mounting bracket for the stock din and a half radio.
Def on recirc. Bigger valve for sure....
Could you post the link to that audio device you used? I’m looking to do a hidden radio setup in my truck but don’t know where to start
This thing needs a date with the ol freedom factory 🏭
Nice work dude. Now it needs suspension and traction mods 🤙
Heat the rear housing till its near glowing and weld the wastegate directly to it, let it cool slowly wrapped in a bunch of old welding gloves/jackets.
Gloven aha
Man that truck is a beast, you should try making a gm tap shifter work from like fleece or bcdiesel, would keep it OEM like but be great for racing
Put that receiver on switch power. I’ve put many of those in bikes. Switch power is fine and it won’t kill your battery.
For your boost creep issue you could use a stainless back housing for your turbo and install your wastegate directly on the back housing.
If there enough space put the gate directly to the exhaust housing at a 45 degree angle
I think you should put the USB ports right below the screen in the bezel you have to make! Would be super clean.
you can use a crossover after the bluetooth receiver . it is a better way to go to 2 different inputs
Trans fan would prob work a little better if you fab up a shroud for it so it would pull air through the whole cooler. Seems like a job that's rite up your ally . Great vid as always
Man some wheels would totally change the look of the truck

be awesome to see you drag this thing at bradenton maybe even race cleetus and the blazer
Don't forget to order Argon! Did you already get the power adapter for the 3 Bar Map sensor?
So did if the blue tooth receiver doesn’t work out you could always have a head unit lower in the dash below the power ports
Brother Ali!!!
I heard the first few notes and knew you were 😎

You really need some better tires in the rear, you ain't winning if you're spinning, lol. Great build, can't wait to see you get that truck dialed.

Hey Taylor buddy? Dont forget to order Argon! ;)
Dual 44mm gates in the cross over! No more boost creep and dump pipe wont be in the way
you HAVE to race Gavin and his shelby f150, when you 100% finish the truck. that would be a cool ass collab.
Great content thanks for sharing
i wanna say there's a kit to where you can put the single din in the center console, also i vote recirc into the exhaust on the gates, let it be mean and spit flames out of the side
This truck would have been sick for a sick week car imo
I was hoping to go. But A it wasn’t sorted I time. B it sold out before I even knew you could sign up.
