As someone whos been watching for I believe beyond 5 years now. since the OG garage days.....I was shocked to hear you say its only been four months since you started this build. I guess its really deceiving when you see cleet traveling around the country competing in 19 sports with 500 different people but you forget he has a massive team behind him. Awesome build in your garage, keep up the hard work. Ok, enough jibber jabber.
If you can get a high current plug set you could solder directly to the pins in the damaged socket and pot it with epoxy, then you don't need to get stock plugs and can easily replace the plugs if they get damaged again. The vettes looking sick mate, nice work.
@@MikeKraemer87 I dont want to say I expect him to, but I would not be surprised at all if he destroys all the KK comps with this. One step at a time, but I could see his driving skill + this car taking him far in FD even.
Who remembers taylors first vette and the first trailer build????? Or the cummins swapped ramcharger??? I think that was the first video i watched, crazy to see ya come this far man! I also remember a shirt you sold “no turbos no problems” lol funny how times change!!!
Seeing you go all out on nothing but the best parts for this build has been awesome to see. Usually you are a bit more budget friendly on your builds (which I love to see as well) but seeing you build everything to the best of your ability with the best parts has been very fun to watch. Thanks for the awesome content!
Wow holly hell you are right, I got used to it and totally forgot about it..not bad for someone that have no big team behind him.. He is a very hard worker tho;)
Best garage build ever! That’s so bad ass man! That’s crazy how perfect of a job you’ve done and how far it as come! Can’t wait to hear that thing fire up! I know you’ve worked hard!
After watching this whole detailed series, I feel like any subcriber should be able to jump in and help you in the pits and know exactly where everything is and how it works lol we got your back bro 💪pit crew hit that like
This has been a long grueling build and to do it with two people, let alone in a garage is an amazing feat. Be proud of yourselves and recognize the victory of getting this far. I know your hurrying every day to get it done, but don't rush. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. Take your time, do it right once and it will not fail on you.
I have been watching the whole series of this Corvette build, I'm excited to hear it run, but I also don't want it to end, Awesome build and I can't wait to see you shred some tires!
TR is my favorite car channel, just because he thinks things through soo thoroughly. I'm an off road/4x4 guy for the most part and fairly knowledgeable in offroad suspension and 12v but I love seeing you talking about road/track suspension setup, quality wiring and welding on all your projects. Paying attention big time on your serviceability ideas.
You might run into an issue with the kill switch, the way you routed the wire with the massive power steering wire, the power steering wire is likely to induce a few volts into the kill switch wire when running. Make sure you make the kill switch active low, and not active high, otherwise it may trigger by itself... I would also put a low value resistor in series with it at the ECU connector, so that the induced current doesn't melt the wire or blow the ECU input when it gets pulled to ground... Something like 220 Ohm 1/2 watt should be fine for a 12v signal, will limit current to 50mA in the wire. If you want to be super safe, I would also add a capacitor to ground between the connector pin and the resistor, to form a RC filter to debounce the push button and filter spurious signals. A 33uF capacitor would work out to a ~10ms response from the button. Realistically anything down to 1uF would work fine.
Fuckin nerd, so nerdy I barely know what you’re talking about. Good job. Hopefully this isn’t nonsense and is actually tediously technical electrical nerdiness. Good to have you around, nerd.
The way the external kill switch circuit works is that if there is any break in the circuit (any of the external buttons pushed or the wire breaks) then the ground is cut to the kill box. It's basically one wire that comes out of the switch, goes in and out of the external switches and back in again.
@@adematthewsracing The switch can work in one of two ways, either one wire is wired to an output (which outputs some voltage), and the other to an input, with the button applying a voltage to the input, or you can have the input being pulled high through a resistor (external or internal to the ECU or PDM), and the button pulls that input low when pressed. The first is active high, the second is active low. The problem with an active high setup is that any voltage on the input (including voltage induced by a high current line running parallel to the input wire) can trigger the event. This won't happen by itself if the wires are routed carefully, and RC-filtered, but having a thin gauge wire running parallel to a high current supply wire for a power steering pump over a few feet, or too close to a plug wire, can have the big wire induce a few volts easily into the thin wire. If you instead wire the switch active low, you are immune to this issue.
@@HMan2828 Not this one. I've fitted several. The external circuit works in one way and one way only as I explained. Others may work as you describe but the Cartek XR doesn't.
This is by far my favorite project on youtube right now. I know you posted something explaining why it took so long. And I think you guys have been very fast. If I was building a drift car which is pretty much ready for FD I would have spent years! Thank you for the awesome content, cant wait to hear this beast roar :D
Just to throw it out there, very smart in staging the fans on! Starting current for a motor is called Lock Rotor Amps. The amps required to overcome a static state and come to full RPM. Even though this is a short time where both would be pulling high current, it still relieves stress. BTW good job on those mini splits in the shop! From what I saw, couldn't have done it better myself!
Love the build man. Some heat management around the trans tunnel might really help more than you’d think. I have a turbo 1969 mustang with a similar transmission (strait cut jerico 4 speed) and I have insulation and carpet. That trans tunnel can be uncomfortably hot sitting next to you. Figured I’d share
Taylor, I also appreciate, that you don’t talk about anyone else, good or bad. Not that it would have been good or bad, but for example, it would have been easy to bring up what happened to Colette by not making the fire suppression system a priority. You would have been neither here nor there by doing so, but a lot of other TH-camrs wouldn’t have passed up the opportunity.
Tip for the FPR fitting. Try searching for a JIC fittings/adapters instead of AN. They are physically interchangeable, but are usually made of steel and ate generally intended for hydraulic connections. They are also usually alot cheaper.
I would think about doing two separate fire suppression systems. One for the engine and the second one for the fuel cell and cockpit. Gives you more capacity and allows you to target the engine bay separate.
it add's more weight but the suppression system is really just there to give you more time to get out of the car. it's not going to really do anything else with an oil, meth, e90 fire.
Hey Taylor. I highly recommend getting different colored paint markers and when you torque something down, paint it. Then you'll know 100% and you can check if it's moving later.
For people saying they don’t want the build to end It won’t end, he’s not like the other content creators that are in constant need of new cars for content. The Corvette will be Perfected every step of the way just like the Miata. Can’t wait of the Cefiro to be Back and hopefully All the cars get sent to paint while he works on the AE86 next off season.
If you see this before you're a inspiration to me ad my family this build is so kick ass, we're gonna get to a KK event at some point to see.this thing rip
You could use npt to compression fittings for the fuel pressure regulator and run brake line tubing so you can keep it clean if you can't find an A.N fittings for it, keeps the regular tubing out of the pic
I know you're almost done with the wiring, but in the future you could look into wire lube. electricians use it for pulling electrical wires through conduit. It lubricates but after a time evaporates/dries. might make pulling on the heatshrink easier. worth a look into though i think
Curious about those red Deutsch connectors in the rear harness. I’m in the process of wiring my camaro from scratch and boy what a task. Definitely something you want to do once and be done with it. The vette is coming out sick, love the knowledge and know how you consistently share with your viewers. Keep it up you guys!!!
Watching you do the injector harness, I noticed your metal magnetic dish (HF?) on the side of your toolbox. That's exactly where I keep mine as well (left side and all). I wonder if that's where everyone keeps it. I always forget I have it so it pretty much lives there. Funny.
Is so close but it's still frustrating. I can't wait for the turbo to whistle and that motor to roar. I really really hope that you will be able to use it in the next round. 🙏
Looks badass. For the FPR you can find a 1/16 npt male to 1/8 npt female adapter then use an to 1/8 npt. Trust me thats one of the MOST important lines to have a threaded an connection
Is it possible there will only be one or 2 more episodes? Unlike other youtubers you shove as much of the build as you can, into one video And that's great! Watching this build was the greatest. Can't wait to see it perform.
Taylor with a haircut, fresh fresh. LET'S GO VETTE!!! FIRE ME UP BABY!!! I love this car so much, I can't wait to see you hurting feelings with how blisteringly good it is going to be brother! Flex those muscles and smoke those tires!
Great episode I particularly like your spray booth. l would have never thought not in 100 yrs to put grass on the floor. Who would have thought. 🤪🤣 Anyhoo thanks for sharing man ✌️ Peace from Melbourne Australia.
I think a tube notcher would be great for your shop because you can put flat bar in it and notch it to fit around your intercooler mount/bash bar like making oil cooler brackets for example

3/4 days been episodes with good editing and great narration, one of the best car Yt channels out there

Good idea! Solder. Pot it. Pigtail. New plug.
Taylor, I appreciate that during your time lapses you don’t just play music, you talk us through the different things you are doing.
I click like and comment before the video even finished. Love it!
That exhaust shielding is so next level it would have me intimidated as heck if I was in a comp with you and came to look at the car
If everything on this car works, hes going to podium everything.
I'm super excited to see all that exhaust shielding after a couple of heat cycles, its gonna look so cool

I've used talc powder to pull wires, works well!
It's amazing how clutch that belt sander has been
Surely the next video is a start up video suurreeelllyyy
Marking tightened/torqued bolts with a marker or paint pen might help keep track of what's done.
This is a very good idea 👍🏼
