I just love the way you work and keep your shop so neat and tidy. There are no tool lying on the ground or scattered all over benches. Each job is given such attention to detail no matter how small of a job. This is why you are the best.
Those doorman knock sensor wire assemblies are known to fail, this is coming from an experienced o reilly employee. great build i love the sloppy inspired builds
Doorman is utter junk, especially with this parts location what means to have to pull the intake to get at them, add in a turbo and you’re in for a headache with these knock sensors
Man I remember when this series first started coming out. Hard to believe it was nearly 3 years ago. I'm now giving it a 29th rewatch. Love your work, fella
I would've left them alone. He may still have to move the engine, fore or aft!! Plus, this way if this engine ever needs to find its way into something else, or you need those (presumably) expensive parts for another project.. I like to hedge my bets with stuff like that. The extra length wasn't hurting anything, anyway.
Love your videos... The BEST step by step in EVERYTHING you do on youtube. Though most of your stuff is not ideally "budget" minded for the average DIY'r, its a very good reference on how to do it the "right way" Keep up the good work and get these videos out faster im way to stoked on the turbo and trans setup
I have a feeling... you're going to build a Tacoma that should have come with crazy v8 power, and make it look like it should have come from the factory like that. make us proud!
Can't wait to see the next video. Btw you might know about this, but it's popular to upgrade the steam ports on these engines so the lil tubes also run to the back to eliminate air pockets and cracked heads. The older engines had 4 point stream ports and there are also aftermarket solutions
Watching only because I want to do this to my 3rd Gen 4Runner. Same engine bay as the 1st Gen Tacoma!! Keep them coming Mitch!? Karl!? Whatever your name is!!
Tom's Turbo Garage I have new found respect for LS engines. I have a 2005 Silverado with an L33 5.3 that has over 300k miles on original engine and trans. I’d say that rivals any Toyota.
As always, I hit that like button! Always watch your videos first! Thanks again for an organized, clean, and enjoyable video series. Can't wait to see the project get finished
Man...I wish all cars were that easy to find alternative parts for. The fact that you just 'bought' a different oil pan that worked perfectly (and it wasn't custom)...that's awesome. Keep up the good work!
NGK spark plugs. It was funny, I installed Iridium NGK plugs in my 3.1 liter V6 Grand Prix I had, people called me stupid, said it would not run right and so on..... I installed the plugs, and it ran great. I trust NGK over pretty much all the other brands. Nice to see someone else installing NGK plugs into a GM engine :) Edit: Had to fix a typo.
NGK copper is pretty much the plug of choice for all LS builds brother. TR6 for NA BR7ef for nitrous up to around a 250 shot, boost up to around 2bar BR8ef for larger nitrous and turbo applications. I stay away from Iridium for performance applications. Cant seem to get as much timing in without Knock retard. But great for low performance daily drivers where you dont want to change plugs but once a decade.
A good friend of mine had a 1997 Grand Prix GTP that he had modded heavily. For the longest time, he was going through plugs constantly, and he never could get his ignition timing to stay safe for extended periods of time... till I had him try NGK plugs. All the way up to around 550 wheel horsepower on E85, he finally had the ability to keep his timing and tune stable. He finally sold the car after being at around 550 for a good while because, in the end, it was not the engine, or even the transmission that let him down, it was the car's electrical system, he was tired of chasing down random faults. I miss that car, it was a blast. He was sad to sell it, his mom bought the car brand new in 1997, and it became his when he graduated high school. It was only a year after it became his, he started modding it.
It was great meeting you too! I wish we could’ve had more time to talk but family vacations are serious business! 😀 Thank you for your kind support, I hope you and your family enjoy your fantastic trip!
If you need ideas on how to get things to clear, check out the LS swap into a Toyota Pickup done by Syrus54. He fit a front sump LS into a 4WD. Super tall engine mounts, engine half out the bonnet, transmission inside the cab, crossmember cut out for the tailshaft, you get the idea.
Awesome video... a lot of people hate on CX racing parts but I've never had an issue and I've used many things turbos intercoolers mounts control arms. I have had products from them that were defective and never installed and it was dealt with within a day or two and shipped to me within two or three days.
I have that same oil pan on my 240sx, it is a high quality piece. I thought the specs were custom to the 240sx considering how perfectly it fit, I guess Canton just made a really nice versatile front sump design. The funny thing is, my swap is already in the car, but I'm sure you will get your Tacoma turboed before I even hear my stock 5.3 idle. Great work as always!
Don't have any experience with knock sensors of any type, but the tape wrap on those knock sensor wires didn't impress. The heat inside that valley can't be good on the tape adhesive, can't last too long. Otherwise, another typical video, high standards, informative and fun. I love the sped-up portions, it reminds me of old-time stop-motion animation cartoons/films from my childhood 50+ years ago!
Thank you!!!! From the bottom of my heart, and I'm 100% positive your torque wrench feels the same. Thank you for tightening your bolts *PRIOR* to using the torque wrench! People just don't care about or must buy really cheap torque wrenches. But you will see guys going full install ON EFFN WHEELS!!! If you care enough to torque a wheel at least do it right FFS
Hey Tom, glad you trimmed the mounts down to a more appropriate size. I would have radiused the corners as well to knock the sharp edge off, help keep your hands and other items from hanging up on them. Just a suggestion.
Tom you remind me of me in my shop, keep that shit clean as you go it just makes your whole day go better! Rookie move trippin and slippin all over the shop.
Right? I'm 11 months in the future, project management on sanitation job sites for Covid running upwards of 30 teams at a time...definitely head to the Porta John when a new video drops lol.
I think he has a day job and CZcamss his side hustle/hobby, but with the amount of subscribers he has, performance/aftermarket manufactures probably give him discounts or free parts in exchange for the exposure his videos will get them, and he probably a decent income from CZcams with the amount of views he gets anyway.
Man I was thinking the same thing about those motor mounts glad you fixed them!! Really enjoying the build so far I watched you build the miata and cant wait to see what this one becomes. Keep up the great work Tom!
Please use the hole at the bottom end of the engine crane, that chain link will shear with the weight and hurt something / you just keeping another brother safe :D
It's funny, seeing you work on the LS...while in the background, there's the AZ-1 with the engine cover open. Makes it look like...hmm...now THAT would be a serious project! :-D PS: Those valve covers look a little dull. Need some Crinkle Red. :-)
That LS won't fit in the AZ-1 engine bay, but if I had an engine on rollers that close to the car, I couldn't resist checking to see if it might for in the combined driver+passenger area. Then we'd have room in the empty engine bay for the driver, and, and... No! Bad brain! Stop thinking about it! (Continues to think about it...)
Looking good Tom! I added the trunnion upgrade but sadly my lifter failed and not only wiped a lobe on my cam and dropped needle bearings in my engine. I know there's probably a ton of LS tuners in your area but don't settle for anything but the best. Your wallet and Taco will thank you later.
@@TomsTurboGarage thanks again! If you need any Tacoma specific info I have some videos that might help on your build. Look forward to seeing the progress!
A great way to start my Saturday morning. I'm curious - when you have the time to respond. The time flies when watching them, but I realize an enormous amount of time goes into making them. Approximately how much editing time is involved in the production of a 20-minute video like this one.
Tom...if ya wanna make life easier in yourself you can buy a plastic LS engine, yes plastic block and heads with threaded inserts for things like mounts, oil pan etc. great for testing fitting. You can basically put it in the truck and take it out by hand, fast.
Great video, Tom! There's just something about the way you present and narrate, that's very pleasant. Editing, lighting, etc. is also top notch! Keep up the good work!
great video as always. one thing to be aware of is those CXracing mount bushings become VERY brittle over time. i have them on my LS 240sx and after a couple years and only taking them off a couple times the rubber disintegrates very bad. Overall the fitment of any CXR part is sloppy at best but its hard to argue with the adjustablility of those mounts.
I’m a big fan of 1) the cleanliness, 2) the attention to detail, and best of all, 3) the torque wrench! You, sir, are my hero.
The next project will be a LS3 in a Chevy Bolt. Project Bolt Bolt.
Haha! 🤔🤔🤔
I just love the way you work and keep your shop so neat and tidy. There are no tool lying on the ground or scattered all over benches. Each job is given such attention to detail no matter how small of a job. This is why you are the best.
Thank you for the kind words sir! 👍🏻
those valve covers are screaming out for some Wrinkle Red textured paint!
watching to much skid factory are we?
@@gagt5spd no such thing as to much skid fact-tree
No doubt, LS engines are not very pretty engines, they do work, but they aren't pretty.
@@jorgyr36 you are correct my friend
skid factory bought all em red wrinkles
Now this is a youtuber that does it for entertainment, and because he likes it, not for the money.
Those doorman knock sensor wire assemblies are known to fail, this is coming from an experienced o reilly employee. great build i love the sloppy inspired builds
Wade Petrie _
I first thought he'd made his own. Didn't look like a "pro loom" at all. Just a bit of electrical tape around the wires 🤔
Doorman is utter junk, especially with this parts location what means to have to pull the intake to get at them, add in a turbo and you’re in for a headache with these knock sensors
Wade Petrie _ Thank you for the tip on that sir, I'll check the continuity and keep a real close eye on that piece.
I wouldnt even buy dorman zip ties.
I’ve used doorman door hinge parts and I gotta say, they work fine. No problems with my doorman experience.
Man I remember when this series first started coming out. Hard to believe it was nearly 3 years ago. I'm now giving it a 29th rewatch. Love your work, fella
There's something extremely satisfying about the "click" of a torque wrench.
Totally agree!
That torque wrench and the clanky noises that the engine makes when you press each piece together are seriously ASMR
"Made the job a snap..." as he was installing snap rings. haha
Yes! Trim those mounts Tom. I was thinking it the whole time!
Thinking the same thing as soon as I seen them.
A bold move to trim them before test fitting the exhaust headers though.
I would've left them alone. He may still have to move the engine, fore or aft!! Plus, this way if this engine ever needs to find its way into something else, or you need those (presumably) expensive parts for another project.. I like to hedge my bets with stuff like that. The extra length wasn't hurting anything, anyway.
I swear this is the truth- I looked at them and said, Joe would hate how these look and trimmed em down immediately 👍🏻👍🏻😀
@@TomsTurboGarage Hahaha!
Ive said this before but this is the best build channel. Plus it makes my OCD brain happy!
Thank you for the kind words David! 👍🏻
My favorite Summit Racing commercials!
So extremely grateful you are able to make these amazing videos even with the new addition to the family!

Best build on CZcams
This video is a wonderful addition to the series build, it's all coming along beautifully
Thank you Phil!
It’s a pleasure watching you work, man.
Thank you Greg! 👍🏻👍🏻
I have a feeling... you're going to build a Tacoma that should have come with crazy v8 power, and make it look like it should have come from the factory like that. make us proud!
Can't believe how well that LS fits in there. Probably more room between the shock towers and engine with the LS V8 than with the 3.4 DOHC V6.
Oh yeah it’s an excellent fit. A testament to the compact size of the LS engine family. 👍🏻
stopped my vacation time in Ireland to watch the update video on this build.
Macaiah Snow watching this in Dublin 👍🏻
Thank you!!!

Thank you for mentioning that, I’ll do some more homework on that before finalizing everything
I have been following your videos for a while and it's amazing how easy you make everything look. Amazing work.
Thank you for the kind words sir! 👍🏻
Great work Tom! Lucky being in America with so many parts available for specialist requirements....
Thank you sir, yes the availability of parts for this engine/platform makes builds like this so simple. I definitely don’t take it for granted 👍🏻
Very nice, Tom! That was satisfying to watch the engine fit in with the new oil pan.
Thanks man, glad you enjoyed the video! 👍🏻
THANK YOU for chopping those engine mounts!
Haha, had to be done!
Well done, sir! Love the build so far, and glad that oil sump worked out for you. Keep up the great work!
Narrowed rear end with 4 link is going to be a must
long travel! Long travel! Long travel! big jumps for the crowd sir!
thanks for the new upload , i´ve been waiting for this nice job im really waiting for the amazing result
Le Chat Botté You're welcome man, glad you're enjoying the videos! 👍👍
Tom's Turbo Garage I love the video keep up the great work
when I saw those engine mounts I was hoping you would do something about them. You never fail to deliver!!
Yay!!! The gratuitous use of a “grinder”on a “bracket”..... Time for a cuppa tea me thinks old binky 😉👍🏽🏁
😀👍🏻
Tom the fact that you are conscientious and detail oriented means that you can tackle anything. By the way what happened to Mitch?
Thank you John! Oh Mitch is still hanging around in my closet. 🤔
Watching only because I want to do this to my 3rd Gen 4Runner. Same engine bay as the 1st Gen Tacoma!! Keep them coming Mitch!? Karl!? Whatever your name is!!
Nice man, thanks for watching! 👍🏻
Fantastic progress, trial and error is the name of the game you know all to well Tom!
Thank you Ozzie! Oh yes, definitely learning lots as I go here! 👍🏻 Take care sir
I'm sitting on the edge of my computer chair.... Can't wait till the next one!
Nice! 👍🏻👍🏻
This is too much fun! Probably will see a lot more old Tacoma’s with LS engine after this :).
That would be great! Dang Toyotas live forever or there probably would be more!

Must be so satisfying placing that V8 in the engine bay for the first time. Still one of my favourite builds on CZcams!

I like that you cut the engine mounts. I would've done the same thing. I am surprised that the valve covers didn't get some sort of coating.
Yeah those universal looking mounts were bugging me. I like the bare look of the valve covers, I may decide to paint them
Awesome video... a lot of people hate on CX racing parts but I've never had an issue and I've used many things turbos intercoolers mounts control arms. I have had products from them that were defective and never installed and it was dealt with within a day or two and shipped to me within two or three days.
Can't thank you enough for your time making this video
I suggest using the 6.0L LS3 GTO oil pan the pick up tube sits in the front
I would’ve preferred that pan but it would’ve required notching the truck’s cross member and I didn’t want to go that route.
This is a better series than the avengers
😎
The threaded fittings on the top of the Canton pan is what you should use for the turbo drain.
thanks for this, Tom

Thanks man! Haha, I miss Mitch too but he had too many welding holes burnt into him. 😁
Tom, stay away from doorman products. they are notoriousaly of poor quality.

Talk to the guys over at BOM. If anyone can find a way to fit an LS into the 'Zam, it's those two muppets. :-D
Man! that Canton oil pan is perfect. You're really helping us Tacoma and 4Runner folk out
Those welds look really bad though.
