@@matty2fatty9 Same here. Then I heard Tom, and I was disappointed. The BOM guys have more intonation (and eagerness for that noise) in the voice. Tom, you need to work on your speech style a bit :D
Hey Tom. Engine Master tested meth injection in the typical intake manifold and found that it wasn't working correctly. Because of the funky curved intake runners, meth wasn't making it to the front cylinders. Be real careful. That could be really bad news under boost.
I’d like to see someone take the model of that intake and do some CFD analysis see how air is distributed throughout the runners. This should give a clue if the meth injection would be evenly distributed in each intake runner.
Engine masters on motor trend on demand recently did a myth busters episode where they tested how effective single nozzle water meth injection is on a ls engine. They concluded that it cannot be effectively distributed to the cylinders on that style of intake manifold. The only real way to do that would be direct port water methanol injection. Just something to think about. Love the videos.
Hey, Tom! Yesterday, Donut Media put out a video about not-so-well-known car channels. Was a bit disappointed you werent in the list, so I made sure to give you a shoutout, as did quite a few others. You definitely deserve more subs than you currently have, your work is top-notch!
Tom one of the few that dosent just let the exhaust out the hood or something alike! He puts the work in to make it look oem! That’s why I love this channel
Have you seen the engine masters vid about water meth being unsuitable for the factory intake manifold, apparently it all dumps in the back two cylinders, potentially causing more harm than good.?
Wes yeah I subbed for it. They say that ls factory intake manifold is a dry air deal and does not respond well to water meth injection, they found it sends the bulk of the water meth down the back two cylinders. I have seen guys send it through the turbo compressor lol not sure why or if this method helps, but they did not show this method.
Bud Ranger yes I was trying to think of something like this to but from memory the hot rod guys said something about using a plenum designed like a carby needs to distribute liquid type fuels, something about the inside surfaces of the plenum?
Love how the Tacoma build is going. You should weld a nut on you scissor jack and you can use a drill or a impact gun to raise or lower the jack. Just a thought 💭
Please don't ever change your vids. You are one of a few youtubers that hasn't drastically changed due to getting more popular. I love every project you do!
Tom, you're the best. I really enjoy your episodes. One of the best CZcamsr's out there. No fuzz or fancy stuff. You keep it simple and just film what you do. I love that, keep these episodes comming!
Tom, don't forget you need room behind the core too for ambient air to flow. One of the biggest issues I had with my DSM was getting enough air through the A/C condenser due to all the pressure drop and air loss. Ducting is your FRIEND here!
Tom, it's amusing how similar your Taco and my Supra are in terms of cramming a lot of stuff into tight spaces. My fans and oil pump drive gear actually overlap in the vertical plane. On that note, you have my sympathy here trying to fit those intercooler pipes... 3" is no joke!
Your attention to detail is impeccable. That goes for all of the automotive work you do and the video production also. Keep up the fantastic work. P.s I love that you read and heed the advice that people put here in the comments. That shows that you care what your viewers have to say and also that you are always open to learn new methods and techniques.
The amount of extra effort you put into your projects to create a clean and professional product is outstanding! There is something so appealing about someone who takes the time and effort that you do with your work. I have a couple of other channels that I like and while I get the good enough to run now mentality I just expect more. That is why your channel will always be a cut above.
I like how he accepted the advice and changed out his exhaust flex joints. I hope B is for Build takes the constructive criticism the same way and mounts his twin turbos under the hood instead of his current set up.
Great as ever Tom. Always jealous of Summit as we done have anything like it here in the UK. Seems that every “scene” has its own chosen supplier. No one stop shop for us guys that have old school V8s over here!
As soon as I saw the level I instinctively said "make the noise" without even thinking. Been programmed properly. If I ever do a build I would have to buy a level that does the noise.
The washer fluid tanks on this gen Tacoma were huge. One word of caution, the filler neck can tend form cracks and even break off with age. Happened on my 2003.
you should put the wmi nozzle as close to the cold side of the ic and as far from the throttle body as possible to allow the liquid to become thin vapor before it reaches the intake manifold... with that you will get an accurate iat value judging by the location of your iat sensor and maybe you will not experience the wmi problems with the ls engine that are mentioned my others.... love your work
Tom your channel is just incredible. Your builds have to leave the OEMs face palming like, “Why didn’t we do it like that?” Thanks for the great content, it’s an inspiration to a backyard hack like me.
Tom, you might want to make a 1/4" little metal disc and weld it to the inlet pipe and then drill and tap it for the meth nozzle so you have more threads to hold on. Something I learned along the way, especially with aluminum pipe. Love the builds though!
Suggestion on your intake piping. Square tubing. Gives you more clearance in tight locations. Use 4" x 1 or 1.5" thin-wall square tubing, then cut 3" round holes on the ends to weld round tubing. Trim access to make sure there are no protrusions internally to the tubing. We really like your projects. Good Luck.
Karl Carpenter exactly. Cooling the charge air further than the IC's ability is worthless without the ecu knowing the air temp (and density) has changed. Tuner's nightmare.
Have you thought about installing the intake manifold with the throttle body toward the rear? Mounting bolt holes dont change and just flip around the fuel rails. Still works as normal. May give you more room for a charge pipe in the rear of the engine bay.
Wao Tom, when I'm more concentrated in your work the video ends... jajajajajaj. Excellent work, nicely done and congratulations for your patience on this projects.... the excellent result is a result of that...
Hey Tom, just a friendly tip here. For your water meth injection nozzle instead of tapping the thin charge pipe weld a half inch thick piece of plate to the charge pipe and tap it. Hopefully would be less of a chance of ripping the threads out under pressure.
I have a stash of old jacks. Peugeot have a good one with built in handle and old BMW have a high lift style. I use them all the time when my jack and axle stands are being used
Yep, don't throw anything away! Those scissor jacks really come in handy, especially if you're working on your project on your own. A scissor jack is like having an extra hand. ;)
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who ran out and bought that exact model of digital level! ... also, +1 for bin of random Mitsubishi bolts always having your back...
The music choice in this and your last few videos has been fantastic!! Also I know you're excited to get the bumper cover back on, but consider taking a little time to duct the heat exchangers to the openings in the front bumper. That should help a lot with making those as effective as they can be. Keep up the great work!!!
Tom, just a thought on the catch can routing. I would not plump the passenger side valve cover vent pre-turbo without an intermediate sealed air-oil separator. Oil droplets hitting turbo blades spinning at 100.000 RPM sounds pretty bad. In addition, this will eventually coat the inside of your IC pipes and condense in the intercooler itself, filling it with oil. Pre-turbo routing is a nice vacuum source, but please consider filtering the oily fumes first. BTW love the BOM elements on the last couple of vids! Keep up the good work!
We have a 2WD 5 lug Tacoma project we are just starting on, going with more of a desert truck build. You have made me jealous and giving me inspiration!
I liked the "make the noise" comment. Hopefully this won't take 6years lol.
#BOM. Lol
Longer now since their doing a motorhome as well.
Love Bad obsession motorsport😍😁
Last episode he played funk while making brackets
But he's not as funny! Lol
haha so happy to hear a Bad Obsession Motorsport reference. You two are among my favorite channels. Keep up the amazing work!
make the noise.
And then he proceeds to make the simplest bracket possible, BOM would be appalled ;)
As soon as that spirit level appeared I shouted “make the nooooiiise!”
Thank you sir!

came here to post about this!
Glad someone said this. I completely forgot about that episode.
@@Metalution I have faith Tom will find a solution to it though :)
I'm sure this is one of the issues Tom will address.
I’d like to see someone take the model of that intake and do some CFD analysis see how air is distributed throughout the runners. This should give a clue if the meth injection would be evenly distributed in each intake runner.

Matt Duncan your right I blew up my 5.3 with nitrous wet shot 7&8 where fine the rest of the rod bearings got worse
Season 4 episode 45 for anyone interested.
Treadstone intercooler, you say?

I was totally surprised too
i gave tom a shoutout too he deserve more subscribers
I did too! Tom needs some views.
Thank you for that sir, I appreciate that very much!
Agree with you guys. The neat and well structured builds helps us budding enthusiasts. Thanks Tom🙏🏽
TFW Tom uploads right as you go on your lunch break.
YEP! Watched this while eating leftover steak and shrimp. Yummy!
The tech tips of this channel alone make them worth any imaginary price for admission. Not to mention the great builds and wholesome entertainment.
Tom one of the few that dosent just let the exhaust out the hood or something alike! He puts the work in to make it look oem! That’s why I love this channel
Have you seen the engine masters vid about water meth being unsuitable for the factory intake manifold, apparently it all dumps in the back two cylinders, potentially causing more harm than good.?
Clint Collins
czcams.com/video/q7euQFxbgdo/video.html
You gotta pay to watch the full vid. Motor trend went full on pay for content. Ugh
Wes yeah I subbed for it. They say that ls factory intake manifold is a dry air deal and does not respond well to water meth injection, they found it sends the bulk of the water meth down the back two cylinders. I have seen guys send it through the turbo compressor lol not sure why or if this method helps, but they did not show this method.
Clint Collins makes sense wonder if you could tap the manifold in 2 or 3 places and distribute evenly with smaller injectors
Bud Ranger yes I was trying to think of something like this to but from memory the hot rod guys said something about using a plenum designed like a carby needs to distribute liquid type fuels, something about the inside surfaces of the plenum?
Love how the Tacoma build is going.
You should weld a nut on you scissor jack and you can use a drill or a impact gun to raise or lower the jack.

Have to say your videos help inspire people (me) to do higher quality work and it saves them headache in the future, so thank you.
Torch hasn't lifted a finger so far with this project. What a guy. Also loving the nods to the Bad Obsession guys.
The attention to detail is insane with this build!

TTG is my favorite unrecognized youtube greatness maker.
Great video Tom, I love that you not only show how you do it but do it neatly too. I can't wait to see you fire it up.

Totally upvoted all the Tom's Turbo Garage comments on Donut Media's 10 car channels you need to watch! Donut's missing out!
Haha, thank you Jafro!! Sorry I missed this before!
Can't wait to see the first start of the Turbo Taco!
Great as ever Tom. Always jealous of Summit as we done have anything like it here in the UK. Seems that every “scene” has its own chosen supplier. No one stop shop for us guys that have old school V8s over here!
Loving the little ‘nod’ to the boys over at bad obsession!
“Feeding your boost hot air is just rude” lol
He said "Feeding your engine hot boost". What you said doesn't make much sense.
“Make the noise!” Love it!
Love to watch the progress on this project truck and can't wait to see the finished product.
I wonder how many of us said "Make the noise" when the spirit level was put on the intercooler? Another nod to the lads at BOM
As soon as I saw the level I instinctively said "make the noise" without even thinking. Been programmed properly. If I ever do a build I would have to buy a level that does the noise.
Yeah so did I lol
"Is he going to say 'make the noise'?" YES! Literally lol.
I was thinking this too!
This guy is the ultimate diy pro.. very inspiring
You sir by far have the best quality builds on CZcams by a large margin thank you 🙏
"Make the noise..." Whooo your work is so clean en well thought through... Excellent, love to watch it!
Oh man, the suspense!!!
You're killing me Tom
17:30 welds are coming out much better than before too. Chalk up this mishap as practice. good job.
Superb as always. I honestly wish these were twice as long; they really are excellent videos.
Thanks for sharing your work man 👍
I’m super excited for you to start tig welding. You’ll no doubt bring the A game to that as well. Beauteousness!!
The washer fluid tanks on this gen Tacoma were huge. One word of caution, the filler neck can tend form cracks and even break off with age. Happened on my 2003.

"Make the noise" then followed by fettling and banging.
Epic reference to BOM.
Tom your channel is just incredible. Your builds have to leave the OEMs face palming like, “Why didn’t we do it like that?” Thanks for the great content, it’s an inspiration to a backyard hack like me.
Must be casual Friday in the Turbo Garage
Nice work! Really digging the usage of the washer tank for the alcohol injection. That’s something I would do as well.
I am getting impatient to see this on the road. Thank you for providing awesome content!!
Meth injection, classic TTG signature. Excellent, clean installs Tom, this truck is going to be awesome!
If he uses that meth kit on that intake, he's going to blow that engine to kingdom come. Those manifolds cannot distribute the air/meth mixture.
Can’t wait to see this thing rippp
Tooom! I can't wait almost three weeks for an episode. Great Job!
This series has been so fun to watch. great videos!
Tom, you might want to make a 1/4" little metal disc and weld it to the inlet pipe and then drill and tap it for the meth nozzle so you have more threads to hold on. Something I learned along the way, especially with aluminum pipe. Love the builds though!
Great progress on this build. Wiring is my biggest bug bear as well, and it is not sexy to film, but you covered it well.
perfect time! i just went on break for work
Tom never let us down and actually hearing us. Great
You are doing a fantastic job on Firebolt !
Need to catch up watching on these episodes great series.
Wiring to me is like "Black Magic".... so, I guess next project I need to hire a Magician come wiring time! You make it look easy.
Tom as always it is a pleasure to watch your content
Can't wait until the first start up
Great to see you put the bellows in man!
Suggestion on your intake piping. Square tubing. Gives you more clearance in tight locations. Use 4" x 1 or 1.5" thin-wall square tubing, then cut 3" round holes on the ends to weld round tubing. Trim access to make sure there are no protrusions internally to the tubing. We really like your projects. Good Luck.
Shouldn't you put IAT after the Methanol injector? Injection is going to change the IAT pretty substantially in some cases.
Karl Carpenter exactly. Cooling the charge air further than the IC's ability is worthless without the ecu knowing the air temp (and density) has changed. Tuner's nightmare.
Oh man, that stereoscopic reverb in the workshop footage plays havoc on the ears/brain. :P

excellent work! love watching your shows! Best channel on CZcams.
Most Toyota's have a gallon washer fluid reservoir. Like always great video! Can't wait for the next one!
Chin spoiler for the bottom part of the intercooler. Maybe from a TRD....?
Came here to post that - I was so disapointed when I saw that placement!
#metoo
Exactly! The builds he does are so clean, but then i saw that IC placement and my dissapointment level went through the roof.......
@@Glenncrx Shut up man, you're ruining the video
Wao Tom, when I'm more concentrated in your work the video ends... jajajajajaj. Excellent work, nicely done and congratulations for your patience on this projects.... the excellent result is a result of that...
I haven’t watched it and I’m liking it already👌🏼
Hey Tom, just a friendly tip here. For your water meth injection nozzle instead of tapping the thin charge pipe weld a half inch thick piece of plate to the charge pipe and tap it. Hopefully would be less of a chance of ripping the threads out under pressure.
Tom i think this is ur best amazing jobs i ever see in ur videos well done
Wow that truck is looking great keep up the great work Tom
The Reason Tom's projects go faster than BOM's is because he takes fewer tea breaks.
Jason Young he makes a lot less brackets as well......... 🤪
I have a stash of old jacks.
Peugeot have a good one with built in handle and old BMW have a high lift style.

Literally caught the upload within 1 minute lol. Really looking forward to hearing this thing fire up!!
Loved the bad obsession Motorsport reference! Both your channels are the best on CZcams!
If you aren't learning, you're doing something wrong. That's why I like these shows, the comments usually hold something of value.
this is going to be such a cool build im super jealous
Your work is soooooo clean
