I love how Taylor's reasoning for an upgraded motor was that he "struggled" at Clutch Kickers. The comp that he got 2nd at, against actual Pro 1 FD cars.
j0m017 at a tiny track where high horse power really doesn’t matter right? I got love for Taylor but on a long strait track. Alecs car would SMOKE the Miata
I was just thinking of the same thing, Tylor spends a lot of time working on his miata and FC which both have LS's yet texas speed sends one crazy expensive engine to B is for Build (bullshit) to do nothing with it other than say he put it in a Lambo
Victor Manuel Parra Exposito B is for Bullshit . For some reason i don’t like that channel. He seems fake like he is forcing the way he is for the camera. But Tyler seems so chill and real.
A big part of Taylor's content is these builds... I don't want to see sponsored builds, we don't learn from that... we learn from exactly these kinds of junkyard bodge jobs. Milwaukee, Holley... those are the good sponsorships for Taylor right now. Maybe later...
Isn't it weird how some of these CZcams Personalities really allow us to escape all the shit that's going on? I find myself often forgetting this pandemic while watching guys like Taylor, Adam, Garrett, etc..
Love your videos man you always make great content. You explain things perfectly without going too long with it, ive learned so many things about a drifting chassis and modifications I wouldn’t even think about! Keep up the work man !👍🏼👍🏼
what the hell are the odds, literally just got my 5.3 in my garage today and was looking to buy an ecu and then you hit me with this holley ecu... im pumped to say the least
Yup. And that's in a 'Cheater car's (LS powered lightweight). If you watch some of the old option videos where they drifting AE86s with 110whp (128bhp) , or FC3 NAs with 125hp/145bhp
maverick buckley eh that’s because they didn’t need a whole bunch of horsepower to have fun that miata is probably really snappy even with the ls poweplant in it i wouldn’t say its an easy driver
Taylor thanks for the tool review on the stubby 3/8’s just ordered one this morning! Nice deal on Home Depot’s website with two 6.0 amp hours and a 2.5 amp hour!
Helpful tip. On a OHV engine, always look through the pushrods to see if it's clear. If you re use them or not, it gives you a pretty good Indicaton on the valvetrains health.
Hell yeah! Super educational video for us guys that want to do their first ls swap. You've really become an ls guru. I love that you share that knowledge with your friends (Ben) and us. Great video!
I've been watching your videos for quite some time now. The way you present and describe things is fantastic and I can actually understand what you're saying and really appreciate it and all the things I've learned from you. Thanks Taylor!
I did not know he made a drift video with also showing a foot cam footage 😍 it makes the video so much more interesting to watch. I'm headed to that video right after this one.
To the one who is always Tight on money, and now most of all. Holding a dream to slide, or any other race, You most of all, will help them hold the dream, their will to keep learning, for when they can. To know how to... when they will be able. They will go back... see.. understand and over come, because of you! I thank you!!
A Texas speed crate engine would be cool but this guy earned and bought his 6.2 build the respectable way and we all know that he wants to be part of the build process.
I have a 5.3 set up the same way essentially and I would be extremely happy to see 350whp out of it. 330whp is very respectable out of a mild 5.3. Some people have unrealistic expectations and views of what a engine should or would make.
The miata finna be a beast bruh... But you should LSA and be about that life All jokes aside i also want to point out that I think this swap you are doing is bad ass and gonna be perfect. I'm super excited for the content to come. This is what I love about this channel.
Twist the spark plug wire around one time before you pull and the pop off way easier almost ever time. Even ones you have replace saves from ripping the end👍
I have the mid torque DeWalt and it's great for general use too when the massive one is overkill. Congrats on the new engine. Gonna be a beast. Will be an epic swaparoo series in general.
The cordless impacts are extremely handy. I’ve heard good things about the Milwaukee’s. I personally have the Earthquake brand 1/2” and 3/8” impacts from Harbour Freight and they are game changers for me. 3/8” is rated at 400 ft/lbs and the 1/2” is rated at 1200 ft/lbs. idk how true the ratings are but they are stout for sure. And very reasonably priced.
many people would love a ts built engine going in there, and I am one. At the same time you are one of very few drifters who really get their way around with junkyard engines making good reliable power, maybe not the most powerful but man o man, you area driver an a half, and we love seeing that, keep it up taylor!
I finally started watching Taylor's non-Fummins videos and they're awesome and I can tell his heart lies with the Miatas haha, but uh...EXCUSE ME WHERE'S THE FUMMINS!!! I got so excited seeing the start up video and I've been on the edge of my seat waiting for the next video!!
Love the videos nd I like how you added the clips wen you were explaining the power needs during tandems! I need to start doing a foot cam... #helpsALot!
Taylor in part you are describing concertina effect. The concertina effect happens at turns with a trailing car temporarily closing on a car because it's not yet braking. Then the effect is reversed coming out of a turn because the lead car accelerates first. This doesn't happen at the start of a race, because all cars do hit the accelerator at the same time.
I'm a big fan of the miata and have enjoyed watching both your and the cars progress, but I'm really excited to see the fc rip!!! I just love seeing a good beater car get thrashed on an upgraded
So I use a truck crane on my Silverado 1500 when I'm doing pipeline work and man let me tell you best thing I ever purchased. It's like having a third really strong arm lol
Subbed for more footcam. Highly underused cam angle that gives the viewers more appreciation of the skill that drifting takes. Been watching for awhile tho and I appreciate the content. Looking forward to seeing how the Fummins turns out
IDustyDuss yeah me too big inspiration!!! Hey I just started vlogging on my channel I’m working on a s13 hatch ! Stop by if you have time ! Thank you so much brother!!!
Tay tay. Listen bro. You kill it bro. You do a great job of information/entertaining content. No only do I enjoy ur content. I learn a lot. Your a beast bro
Taylor you are a wealth of information. I appreciate your work and how you explain things at garage guy level. (Something Adam doesn't do anymore)you do a great job!!
Quick note, loosening torque is always a good bit lower than tightening torque (when corrosion is not part of the equation), because the material stretching the tightening torque puts into the bolt is a constant force that is always working towards loosening the bolt.
X not on that bolt. it's got factory loctite and once they have been on there since 07. I bet if you could measure it, it would be well over the tq spec to get out. but yes, if you're testing a fresh nut and bolt in say a vice, it will take less to break it then you tq it at.
also with the camshaft, get a 3 bolt camshaft and get the camshaft sprocket for a 3 bolt that also utilizes a front camshaft sensor with the front mount lower profile front cover because you dont want to use an aftermarket camshaft that uses a single bolt and that is per texas speed also.
I’m telling you man....with the new N/A monster that your putting in the Miata you should go ham and Tube the front end, mount your radiator in the back underneath the trunk and use the space all that will create to have a set of forward facing 8 to 1 headers built!
Oven cleaner is awesome for degreasing but i have found it oxidizes parts if left for too long, especially aluminium. Noticed everyone mention Texas Speed for an engine, theyre awesome but maybe Fast Forward Race Engines who done Rubys 5.3 bearings and are local to you would be the go for any machining.
devon bigelow yeah that thing is going to rip! Hey I just started making vlogs on my channel I’m working on a s13 hatch ! Stop by if you have time ! Thanks!
Taylor these are great engine's I have the same one in my Mustang. Just a little advice for you either get a fluid damper or buy a crank pining kit for it. I've had 2 crank pulleys walk off of mine before I pinned it and haven't had a single issue since. And replace the stock bolt with a A.R.P one.
GM's VVT on their V8's really is only for cam phasing for hitting better fuel milage. since it can only turn the entire cam, not just the exhaust or intake, it basically just phases the cam for more advance at higher RPMs so that the power band can be fully shifted from the low end to the high end to maintain a near flat torque curve. That is HOW these get a near flat torque curve.
My God Taylor ray i really love your ambitious attitude towards being simple and the whole way of thinking about the process for things You have your moments where you work harder than you should but this a game changer for sure Looking forward to the process as usual as well as the other upgrades for both cars Take care buddy However I think I see a bigger build coming up in the future as in a different car overall lmao
I'm glad to see everyone has the same thing and wondering why TSP hasn't hit you up to atleast give a head and cam package even at a big discount it be good too see a guy who puts in a ton of work and puts everything back into his channel get a leg up maybe he should get cleetus to give him the hook up
Hell yeah brother the LS is gonna be gnarly with the added power you're going to be even more of a force for these pro1 and pro 2 drivers in these comps!cant wait to see her rip!!!
John Brew same here that thing is going rip!!!! Hey I just started vlogging on my channel I’m working on a s13 hatch ! Stop by if you time ! Thank you so much !!!
Not that you need any help but swap out the heavy truck intake valves for rev friendly ls3 valves. Bump up the compression 11.1 if you can. Look over your intake options closely be hard to beat a stock camaro ls3 intake.

I wish Texas speed would sponsor you and throw a built motor in there
I was just thinking of the same thing, Tylor spends a lot of time working on his miata and FC which both have LS's yet texas speed sends one crazy expensive engine to B is for Build (bullshit) to do nothing with it other than say he put it in a Lambo

At least some ported heads and the camshaft!
How has this man not been offered a texasspeed deal yet?
Ikr
bAwJaW MCgRaW hopefully once he starts building the pro2 vette
miata. fun, but hurt ya in many ways more then ya think.
Because he is not really pushing engines. You don't need a Texas Speed 427 to drift.
Email Texas speed. Tell them.
Too much logic in this video, I love it. Probably one of the only youtubers who actually does things that make sense.
Ballin on a Budget 8)
@@Dabagel100 it's cool how not just having money to throw at everything actually makes the videos better/more in-depth
had to watch this one 3 times just to catch all the knowledge - great job Taylor
The fact that you take the time to explain all of this is exactly why i keep watching your videos. Thank you!
You mean you don't watch send it steve!!! And his 31 project cars....lol
Hey Texas speed or Brain Tooley this guy needs some ported heads and a camshaft! Guy kills it at drift events and is super humble!
I was thinking to myself that it's a weird time to rip apart the Miata with drift events and all coming.. then I remembered it's the apocalypse lol
Isn't it weird how some of these CZcams Personalities really allow us to escape all the shit that's going on? I find myself often forgetting this pandemic while watching guys like Taylor, Adam, Garrett, etc..
Return of the dingleberry hone at McFarland Machining
Tag texas speed in all his post let's get this man a texas speed engine lol
#doitfortaylor lol
"it's literally just an engine swap, simple as that" - things only Taylor can say. The man who swaps 1.8l Miata motors in 30 min
i've just commented on texas speed instagram asking them to support Taylor. Get on it boys. petition for sponsorship!!
6.2 brothers 🙌🏽
Love your videos man you always make great content. You explain things perfectly without going too long with it, ive learned so many things about a drifting chassis and modifications I wouldn’t even think about! Keep up the work man !👍🏼👍🏼
Taylor will you ever do an update video on how it's been being a full time youtuber since making that decision to leave BC?
Shout out to Ben’s used Miata Parts in the background and Taylor keep up the great work
Edgard Colon ben’s where sandals are the new safety equipment for garage work!!!
You only have one Back Taylor, be kind to it. Love the 6.2 swap
For real back problems suck
Hell yea man, this is the happiest I've seen you in a while Taylor, doin it big. Lookin forward to the build man! Great video!
man taylor you really know your stuff! im learning alot on this vid about ls engines that i didnt know before!
what the hell are the odds, literally just got my 5.3 in my garage today and was looking to buy an ecu and then you hit me with this holley ecu... im pumped to say the least
Foot cam really shows how busy a drift driver is.
300zxdriver not the same for all cars tho some require more footwork than the others
Yup. And that's in a 'Cheater car's (LS powered lightweight). If you watch some of the old option videos where they drifting AE86s with 110whp (128bhp) , or FC3 NAs with 125hp/145bhp
maverick buckley eh that’s because they didn’t need a whole bunch of horsepower to have fun that miata is probably really snappy even with the ls poweplant in it i wouldn’t say its an easy driver
9:26 Hohnadell freaking calling for the door tap in the Finals... TRay was on one that day
put a nice set of heads on that motor! Even local machine shop can port your stock heads
Brandon Herold fasterproms will hook him up.
It's not about what's under the hood, it's all about the driver, YOU MY MAN!! ARE AN ABSOLUTE ANIMAL OF A DRIVER!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!🔥🔥🔥🍺
Best all round on CZcams by far, deserve a sponsorship deal more than anyone
never realized how damn knowledgeable Taylor is when it comes to this stuff, he sure does his research
Taylor thanks for the tool review on the stubby 3/8’s just ordered one this morning! Nice deal on Home Depot’s website with two 6.0 amp hours and a 2.5 amp hour!
So much knowledge in 1 video, great work!
I hear the happiness in your voice man. Keep it going and good luck
Once you swap the FC you should do a nice single turbo setup on it 🔥🔥💪🏻 nice and simple.
Helpful tip. On a OHV engine, always look through the pushrods to see if it's clear. If you re use them or not, it gives you a pretty good Indicaton on the valvetrains health.
Hell yeah! Super educational video for us guys that want to do their first ls swap. You've really become an ls guru. I love that you share that knowledge with your friends (Ben) and us. Great video!
Nice work proud of your progression in drift, youtube, and being a mechanic.nice work. Cant wait to see the fummins running and pulling rig and miata.
I'm pumped to see how much more power the LS Miata gets. Taylor Ray is the man.
I've been watching your videos for quite some time now. The way you present and describe things is fantastic and I can actually understand what you're saying and really appreciate it and all the things I've learned from you. Thanks Taylor!

All jokes aside i also want to point out that I think this swap you are doing is bad ass and gonna be perfect. I'm super excited for the content to come. This is what I love about this channel.
I love the direction you're going with the ls Miata & ls rx7
Twist the spark plug wire around one time before you pull and the pop off way easier almost ever time. Even ones you have replace saves from ripping the end👍

First time viewer. I like how you actually go thru the building step by step. That miata is going to shred .
Hell yeah can't wait for more video on this build !!
IDustyDuss yeah me too big inspiration!!! Hey I just started vlogging on my channel I’m working on a s13 hatch ! Stop by if you have time ! Thank you so much brother!!!
Tay tay. Listen bro. You kill it bro. You do a great job of information/entertaining content. No only do I enjoy ur content. I learn a lot. Your a beast bro
Texasspeed makes VVT cams, they're perfect for heavier vehicles to keep the torque down low when you need it but raise the powerband on demand
You should have twice as many subs man. Love this channel and the projects dude. Keep it coming thanks for posting
So many good builds on this channel right now
Ahhhh the only CZcamsr dedicated to his the LS in his drift cars 😎😎
We have a silverado with the same gen 4 engine.. look out for the second cam bearing with the oil gallery if your nail gets stuck it has low oilcomp
Good work bro .Ive allways liked the way u explane things man. So ezy for us dummys how to get stuff done .
I AM SO STOKED FOR THIS! Great content Taylor!
The foot pedal cam was genius.
More Fummins please.
Taylor you are a wealth of information. I appreciate your work and how you explain things at garage guy level. (Something Adam doesn't do anymore)you do a great job!!
Congrats Taylor!! Can’t wait to see the Miata rip and dominate!!
Ah hell yeah taylor!!! Can’t wait to see the miata ripping harder than ever!
Quick note, loosening torque is always a good bit lower than tightening torque (when corrosion is not part of the equation), because the material stretching the tightening torque puts into the bolt is a constant force that is always working towards loosening the bolt.

Awesome you and Ben have the same motors now!
Foxxy correct. Ben has an ls1. Taylor has a bigger/better motor
I’m pretty sure GPI makes a vvt cam setup if you were interested. Some of the best power attainable tbh.
Oven cleaner is awesome for degreasing but i have found it oxidizes parts if left for too long, especially aluminium. Noticed everyone mention Texas Speed for an engine, theyre awesome but maybe Fast Forward Race Engines who done Rubys 5.3 bearings and are local to you would be the go for any machining.
Still like your videos, showing you working and problem solving!
Neat dude! Stoked you made this video because it answered a ton of questions I just haven't researched! Good luck dude
Oh brother the Miata gonna be even more rad
devon bigelow yeah that thing is going to rip! Hey I just started making vlogs on my channel I’m working on a s13 hatch ! Stop by if you have time ! Thanks!
GM - best engine builders ever.
Also GM - bolts random plate to the bottom of the motor for no reason hahahaha
So hyped for this build. Loved seeing the Miata get put together the first time and I'll be sticking around for version 2.0. it's going to be sick!
Got excited when I saw them square ports
Taylor these are great engine's I have the same one in my Mustang. Just a little advice for you either get a fluid damper or buy a crank pining kit for it. I've had 2 crank pulleys walk off of mine before I pinned it and haven't had a single issue since. And replace the stock bolt with a A.R.P one.
We advance the cam shaft 1 to 3 degrees on the dirt late models where we can get the rpm's right away. just wanted to pass that on
GM's VVT on their V8's really is only for cam phasing for hitting better fuel milage. since it can only turn the entire cam, not just the exhaust or intake, it basically just phases the cam for more advance at higher RPMs so that the power band can be fully shifted from the low end to the high end to maintain a near flat torque curve. That is HOW these get a near flat torque curve.
This is so cool man, i gotta see you drive it on the 3rd klutch kickers again
My God Taylor ray i really love your ambitious attitude towards being simple and the whole way of thinking about the process for things
You have your moments where you work harder than you should but this a game changer for sure
Looking forward to the process as usual as well as the other upgrades for both cars
Take care buddy
However I think I see a bigger build coming up in the future as in a different car overall lmao
Plate on the bottom of the pan is for reinforcement. Without it then pan will flex and crack.
My Terminator is still in box awaiting install. Can't wait to use it
One of the good-guy you tubers out there. Stoked for ya mate, she gone rip harder now :)
The metal plate on the pan is for running a magnetic oil pan heater I believe
1:33 Adam Lzs truck and trailer just chillin there 😂
Texas Speed and BTR both have kickass VVT cams...
My M18 Fuel is stronger than my air powered impact! Love it!
Finally a guy that uses power tools every chance he has. I get so tired just watching guys with Manuel ratchets.
I'm glad to see everyone has the same thing and wondering why TSP hasn't hit you up to atleast give a head and cam package even at a big discount it be good too see a guy who puts in a ton of work and puts everything back into his channel get a leg up maybe he should get cleetus to give him the hook up
You forgot the old 8.1 vortec. Absolute torque monster.
Hell yeah brother the LS is gonna be gnarly with the added power you're going to be even more of a force for these pro1 and pro 2 drivers in these comps!cant wait to see her rip!!!
While your playing musical engines You know what the FC iron 5.3 would be great in? A turbo pick-up :p
The green Silverado has a 6.0 already
So pumped!!! I can't wait to see how this turns out!
John Brew same here that thing is going rip!!!! Hey I just started vlogging on my channel I’m working on a s13 hatch ! Stop by if you time ! Thank you so much !!!
Cant wait go see the build process
Not that you need any help but swap out the heavy truck intake valves for rev friendly ls3 valves. Bump up the compression 11.1 if you can. Look over your intake options closely be hard to beat a stock camaro ls3 intake.
We used VVT in my buddies truck. Texas speed has all the vvt stuff you need. Its sick.
Problem is you need currently the GM ECM
