The only Car in the SM Fleet,that lives up to the Carnage name. It's the build that just keeps on giving...... Scotty Bad Dreams😅😅
Hands down best intro ever 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha, cool
The only way it could have been cooler, if Bubba was there too 😂😂
@@STREETMACHINETV definitely bringing Tsaxi back. That made me chuckle too. Agree loving these unexpected intros.
Our man has the moves on the dance floor
Not sure what was more traumatic - the engine damage or that intro! 🤣
Another great video - bring on 10's for the Taxi!!!
What has been seen cannot be unseen!
My turbo Barra still has the BTR in it, you certainly know your way around these engines now Scotty.
My missus recently served you at the auto store she works at and recognised you, she come home super excited it made our day. Thanks for bringing taxi back 👍
Yes the BA XR6 Turbo through BF were BTR (ION) 4-speed but then that was changed to the ZF 6 speed from BFII, but LPG were 4-speed all way through to BF III (wagon) and FG I, when FGII was started the Ecolpi bsd LPG engines got the 6 speed but it was a China built ZF.
Ahh, yep. Supercheap Warragul
@@351tgvI have had my sept 2011 LPi since new. Definitely a German 6HP26 in it. Has the M86 and V8/turbo tail shaft and axles from new too. The development engineers confirmed that was the spec for LPi because of the additional torque. The only LPi I have found a Chinese ZF in was an FGX Ute.
Idea for more content - each week bring a Summernats car to show in the shop. Like build breakdown that Hoonigan used to do.
Second weekly episode that costs you nothing and shows off tough Aussie cars
Been watching Carnage since episode 1. Love this channel, so know my heart in it when I say the following...
1. Stop torturing yourself and ditch the LPG. No one is gonna complain after what you've accomplished.
2. Look after yourself, Scotty. We can all see endless heavy work is hard yakka. Maybe SM could find someone to help you out? Gotta be 100 young fellas/girls who jump at the chance.
Keep up the great work.
Nope. Keep the LPG. Without the LPG it's just another turbo barra.
Turbo Taxi. A must for all Barra Enthusiasts.
Turbo Taxi is back in town! Airport to the city in 12 seconds. Looking forward to seeing this back in action!!! Great video Carnage team!!!
Great to see Turbo Taxi back it’s definitely been a journey but looking forward to seeing it run a 10 😊
Never stop being you Scotty, love the intro 😂
With an intro that good, you just have to immediately click the Like button
That intro Scotty, feels like you're prepping for Australia's got talent? 😂
Will be good to see the taxi back up and running again soon. 💪
I love waking up in the morning and seeing Scotties face 😂
I know it's painful Scotty but I (and I'm sure we) genuinely love the work that you do! I know that you'll "build it better". I, personally, have loved the Turbo Taxi idea ever since you originally got it and I'm so glad that you're continuing with it. Do you need me to send you a slab of something to make it a little less painful? hahaha. In all seriousness mate, love your work and keep up the good shit. Can't wait for the next one!
Whoa to distort the radiator like that is a pretty good effort, l used to work for the mob that made the radiators for Barra’s . When you do a pressure test the B tube will always pop , the end p tank very rarely lets go. We did a good job brazing that one!
top video mate
thank you
Can see it now el taxi as the new intro (if it wasn’t copyrighted)
Great episode as usual scotty
Full build full send crazy level turbo taxi coming our way I hope
Hope the powers that be approve turbo taxi to become the most powerful over the top car it can possibly be
Cheers Scotty
Definitely build it while it's apart Scottie..
We wanna see the turbo taxi skip those 10s and find it's home in the 9s
Nice work Scotty! Great to see the Taxi back, and even better to see it getting some upgrades! Come on tens!!
30 seconds in and I'm traumatised. Thanks Scotty. 😆
As the owner of another ex-taxi (Vault or if you're being cheeky The Yellow Peril), it's exciting to see Turbo Taxi again.
LOL at the intro!! Build it better and booster!
Talk about Carnage :-)
With all that work, deck-heighting the block etc I wonder if its actually worth it?
Maybe a budget build Intec? It'd be fun and they take Turbos okay......
See what you can squeeze from the Daddy of Barra maybe...............
Tip.
Many hydraulic jacks can be speed lifted by opening the release valve and pulling the ram into place.
Once in place you wait for a moment or two then close the valve.
This can save hours of pumping.
RIP MX5. You will be missed. Another awesome video.
Awesome seeing taxi content again!! Whens supermang coming back Scotty?
In a few months
Had me hooked at the intro 😂
when are u doing more on the twin turbo ute ?
Working on it today while Taxi engine is at the machine shop
Forgot to ask, how’s the Ute shaping up? Can’t wait for that beast to hit the streets
Hold my beer !!!! TAXI ❤ !!!!
Lots of viewers on this one Scotty!
I guess Scotties caramel milkshake brings all the boys to the yard!
Is O Ringing the block an option to prevent the same happening again?
Looking forward to seeing forged pistons in turbo taxi... bring it on!
Ace intro, Scotty!! On the subject of the exhaust, I fit my slip joints the other wat round... saves the system from being separated going forwards. Scroll in on the pics I sent you! Cheers .Leigh. Edit: is it not possible to remake the engine mount to let the turbo manifold fit?
You don't need to change the manifold - get rid of the ENORMOUS factory engine mount instead and chuck a Tuff Mounts kit in there.
Dang she got spicy in there! Keep em comin scotty
The moment when you realise you have been watching turbo-taxi for about 6.9 years..... nice.
In all fairness its been a slog for you Scotty. Best of luck with this build
Try start using holymer spray on your head gaskets. I know MLS say dont use anything but I started using it and haven't blown a gasket since.
thanks for the tip
this will never end ,that fuel is so inconsistent and when trying to squeeze it hard one tiny amount of lean out will result in another failure
weld em up
Good to see the taxi getting some love
The head can’t it gust be welded and then machined up
My other suggestion maybe leave all the bolts a bit loose
That will make it easier to get out next time 😂😂😂😂
I had the same problem on a v6 turbo lpg. High boost and bad lpg cause’s detonation. Then rebuilt it and only used Bp lpg and never had a problem since. Now gone to 98.
Where is the engine from the MX5, was it not originally going into the taxi?
Keep up the great work and some more flash intros to get us wound up for the weekends would be great.
MX5 engine was sold before we blew up Taxi engine
just weld the head it would be fine, I've seen Pro stocks which was missing a cly and Valves seats were missing had it welded and you wouldn't know it ever was repaired, amazing stuff think it was Tony Wedlocks TRE my memory serves me right been a while now but Peter Michaels did all the rebuild on it
Now… The Valiant 😂
Yes, make it better😊
The rad would make a good piece of wall art.
When Scottty said SNAFU (situation normal all F#*k up) which is Carnage, 🖤
I thought Snafu needed a little rework, SNAFU (Scotty not another F#*k up).
Let's welcome the Taxi into the 10 second quarters Scotty.
Not too bad on the damage front then 👍 Well, aside from the damage to the wallet. For the head it should be able to be TiG welded and then skimmed. I've known other types of head have tig weld built up in the chamber to be machined back for a better combustion shape so can't see why that damage can't be fixed.
flock o cockys exhaust needed to go anyway,do it in 4" now
Scotty got the moves!
But WHY did it blow the headgasket? Did cylinder 3 and 4 lean out? Did the 3 and 4 injectors fail?

I'll send a SDF manifold down, get you guys on the road
You owe me another coffee after that intro…
I think if I lived in Melb's Turbo Taxi would be my bogan taxi of choice 😊 👍
Hmm. just wondering if you ever looked into using the FG LPI injectors ?? I know that six wouldn't be enough and that they are a side feed . but at least they are generally reliable 👍👍
Time for petrol conversion Scotty, then go for fastest btr barra in Aus!
Thats an easy weld repair for a proper shop
This would be the perfect time to convert the taxi to E85/ 98 octane fuel and remove the LPG system and as for the exhaust maybe go twin 2 1/2 pipes
I need that taxi to be fast,
because if I need to go to the airport,
I have to be there like now😮
👍👀🇨🇭
It blew a head gasket but why ? Forged pistons won’t stop it happening again ?
i have a fg ute thats gass want turn it to petrol and turbo it but atm getting my l67 cammed and then i might start to get the items to petrol it
This could be an interesting Uber.
No big shifter?
The series 1 BA Turbos were also 4 Speed BTR transmissions, Ford didn't introduce 6 speed until series 2.
I meant FG turbo Falcons
Expanded radiator, significant water in the intake, caramel oil... Hmmm can't help but think we might have a slight head gasket leak.
Couple injectors went lean. did it run out of fuel pump, or did the injectors punk you? could individual EGT's possibly save that? I suspect not really as they aren't fast acting enough.
It LPG, there are no fuel pumps. That's part of the problem
How about making a new steel mount with the Surport under not on the top to let you use the other exhaust not much cost there to let you use more money on the rest.
Head gasket bin it get another engine..Some may disagree goes once it will happen again.
Id say you heard of the trouble heathcoat raceway is in. Hopefully the guy figures it out so it so it dosent get shut down ☹️
What boost was this running? Can’t remember. Is it worth grouting and copper gasket with fire rings?
Don't know, sensor only reads to 29psi and it was flat at 29 from start to finish
Love turbo taxi
But I reckon get rid of the Crappy gas.
E85 is the only way for the taxi.
Hi got a heap of old street machine books 90s etc 6 boxes full wanna know if anybody would like them. Or I will Chuck them.
Love the videos. Miss the ford Holden show
Time for E85 mate, piss that LPG off. It's too inconsistent. You'd have run your 10's easily by now, with far less stress and workload on yourself. It was a cool goal to achieve however.
In the bin with the bbq gas😜😂
Intro was more taxi club than turbo taxi
What happened to the Commo ute? Its was all systems go on that monster and now its disappeared.
We're back on it now. It was at MPW over Christmas/New Years
@@STREETMACHINETV thanks for the update 👍
There are only three certainties in life, death, taxes, and turbo taxi giving Scotty nightmares
Drew me in with turbo taxi, then knocked me out with selling the MX5 😢
Less rust than I was expecting to see. Scotty can you not weld those Ford heads? Or is it just cheaper to replace.
We might look at welding
i always enjoy pandoras box!
I understand the need for moving on cars but very disappointing to hear the MX5 is gone, best thing about this channel is doing different things with cars and even though I do love the Taxi it’s just another Falcon Barra build that’s getting old. The Berlina is at least a bit different with supercharge/ Turbo, the Lexen is cool as was the Mazda and Trolvo purely cause they are different but I’m sort of over the Taxi in all honesty
The trouble is, those different cars, like the Trolvo and the MX5 weren't getting the views (the return on investment) that some of our newer projects are getting.
@@STREETMACHINETV I understand and you need to get the views to make it viable but for many of us it was great to see different content and with the Taxi it’s going to be yet another Barra Falcon that’s been done to death especially with the gas being shelved. To see the Trolvo go was disappointing but to see the Mazda go also it will rub some up the wrong way and it looked like you were a little displeased about it also. Hopefully Carnage doesn’t become a channel that only puts out Holden and Ford car content
@@STREETMACHINETV Hey Scotty, seeing as how people are set in their Ford and Holden ways would it be possible to see something like a Barra Laser?
a good thing would be e85 gas is for bbqs haha
If you are gong down that path of upgrades then its time to dump the BTR 4-speed and put in a ZF 6-speed , that low 1st gear combined with the 3.45:1 diff ratio might be an issue traction wise off the line but the in gear acceleration from 2nd to 3rd will give you easily 0.5seccon difference.
Get that elusive 10s pass and ditch the LPG,
You need your bikini on for the intro Scotty😁 great to se the taxi back🏁
I'll need therapy with what we saw. Scotty in a bikini is more than this poor brain could handle.
Scotty, you don’t sound too pleased with the mx-5’s relocation 😢
Nah, I'm fine with it. The car was probably going to kill me if we keep pushing it.
I dont think Blow-off Radiators will ever catch on... 🤔
Haha, brand new market.
Scotty's been workin the corner disco style and the only fans is paying up. Before he got rich, that engine would have jb welded and sent.
SNAFU. Situation Normal. All Fucked Up!!!
How's the debris when removing the flex plate bolts dead set looked like the threads coming out with the bolts
Just locktite
Where's the holden Ute?
This is a great challenge, you can do it ,would direct injection help keep head cool ?
Just my personal protest not fault of this channel I'm unemployed currently so spend quite a considerable amount of time on UA-cam to ease the moods with car therapy....for me I'm just over Barras...so I'll skip this one let the rest enjoy. Looking forward to catch you on the other builds....
It's more about reaching that goal of a 10 second pass on lpg. Turbo Taxi is the original, but I get what you mean. Maybe it's time to stick a single cam or a crossflow in it.
Like ls and vtecs lol
I’m not over the Barra but well and truly over the Barra Falcon type content on the net including LS Commodore stuff, it was nice seeing a Barra in a Mazda and the Trolvo also even the Lexen is pretty cool but for me seeing another Barra Falcon is a bit boring
Should put the motor and turbo from the Mazda in turbo taxi Scotty
I would if we hadn't sold the engine a week before we blew up Turbo Taxi's engine.
4sped FG’s are not common that is for sure.
Was hopin to see Dads ute get some love, *cough nitrous cough
But taxi will do I spose 😂👌
Turbo taxi getting some loving ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕
maybe its time for flame hoops and a copper gasket
whats your thoughts on how it happened? Lean out? Bad injector?
Overboost without enough fuel to feed it
Don’t quit your job to be a dancer bro 😂 😂 😂
