- What the hell is going on here?
Banning from the tube.
YouTubers have been building cars
since the beginning of YouTube.
But lately they've been getting a little outta hand.
Today we're gonna take a look
at some of the most ambitious, impressive, and dare I say,
outrageous builds on this website that we call our home.
I'm James. This cutie right here is the Monolist.
And this is "The D-List".
- Hello. My name's Riley, and I'm a friend of the channel.
And I'm also the artist that made the Donut Media Mural.
It's finally done after so many sleepless nights,
snacks, red bulls, ups, and downs, highs and lows.
Now it's finally here.
I'm so excited you guys get to see it
and have your own version of it as a sticker.
- It's not gonna be available for very long.
If you want it, I suggest you go to www.donutmedia.com
right now and get you one.
(paper crumpling)
- Just like the video we did about engine swaps,
we're gonna include the links to all these channels
in the description below because we like spread the love.
We like those channels.
And if you like this channel, you might like them too.
We got a lot of ground to cover
so let's kick it off with a very humble Toyota RAV4
built by none other than my personal friend.
I have his phone number. The legendary Steph Papadakis.
Now why would a man
behind the most winning formula drift team in history
and some of the fastest
Japanese drag racing cars of the nineties
build this downright dainty little compact SUV.
The answer is simple, people.
Off-roading is probably the most fun thing
that you can do in a car.
Unlike the insane thousand horsepower builds
he usually does,
this is just a bare bones little four-by-four
with a manual transmission.
Now this isn't built to be the fastest truck
up the mountain.
But that's okay because look how much fun
this man is having in this little thing.
And that's why it's going on the Monolist.
Now this RAV4 is easily the most tame vehicle on the list,
but surprisingly it's not the smallest.
That honor goes to the Grind Hard Plumbing's
100 horsepower four-by-four Power Wheel.
You know how much horsepower a regular Power Wheels has?
I do because I Googled it.
It's 0.26 horsepower.
That's a 38000% increase over stock.
But if I'm being honest, this thing doesn't have
very much Power Wheels left in it at all.
It's just got mostly more power baby.
It's essentially a fully custom go-kart
with a motorcycle engine strapped to it.
And if you're wondering how these guys are so good
at building motorcycle powered Power Wheels,
it's because they built like seven of them.
One of them goes 90 miles per hour
in a plastic vehicle built for a toddler.
I drove a tiny car once.
It was actually at Steph Papadakis' shop.
And let me tell ya, it didn't go so well.
The dudes at Grind Hard,
may God have mercy on your souls.
Good luck with everything. Hit us up.
Now we got a few more trucks to cover
in what I call the future.
But for now, let's switch it up
and take a look at a 1995 Audi S6 Wagon
built by a dude named Joel Francisco.
The city was named after him, I assume.
So what's so special about this here wagon.
Let me play a clip so you can hear it for yourself.
(engine revving)
This thing came from the factory
with a turbocharged five cylinder,
which is a great motor.
That wasn't enough cylinders for my boy, Joel Francisco.
He wanted more cylinders.
He wanted double the cylinders.
So he did the completely normal thing
that any of us would do.
He took a 5.2 liter V10 out of a 2007 Audi S6
and managed to fit it under the hood,
and hook up all the crap, and make all the crap work.
The funny thing about this engine is that
it's basically identical to the V10
used in the Lamborghini Gallardo.
It's basically two of those five cylinder engines kissing.
And to make things even more bonkers,
he threw some hurricane headers on it
and paired it with a six speed manual transmission.
And he did all of this in his garage.
According to Joel,
it's the best sounding station wagon on the internet.
And guess what.
I don't necessarily disagree.
And if you know of a better sounding station wagon,
let us know in the comments.
Let's suppose for the sake of argument,
you're not interested
in a Lamborghini powered station wagon.
To each their own.
Let me present you with something
a little bit more Japanese.
I'm talking about B is for Build's R35 swapped R34.
AKA the R69. Nice.
All right, this isn't just some simple engine swap.
Obviously that would've been too easy for my boy, Chris.
And if you know anything about his builds,
he likes to go pretty extreme psycho mode on them.
He's been sued.
His sky line uses the entire chassis from a wrecked R35
combined with the abandoned shell of an R34.
Here's the thing.
Those don't just stick together like Legos tape together.
Problem number one.
R35 is longer so it had to be shortened.
Problem number two.
The R34 is skinnier so it had to be girthed up a little bit.
In fact, the whole build is just a big list of problems
that Chris had to figure out.
And unsurprisingly (beep) did it. (beep) did it, dude.
He figured it out because he's smart. Okay?
And he's got conviction. Okay?
And he doesn't give up.
Now he's got a modern super car
combined with one of the coolest looking Japanese cars ever.
And of course it's midnight purple.
And that's why it's got a spot on the list.
So in this world that we're in currently in this video,
a GTR body swap kind of makes sense.
Let's talk about a body swap that makes no sense at all.
Talk about Rich Rebuild's Cummins swapped six wheel Tesla.
You already know that this dude has an LS swap Tesla.
How do you raise the bar after that?
You make it ironic and funny.
You put a freaking Cummins in a Tesla, baby.
He got his hands on a wrecked Model 3
which he has introduced to a four BT.
That's a four cylinder turbo diesel
that you would've found in a bread truck from the 1980s.
So it's not exactly a super powerful motor,
but make no mistake.
This boy's got twerk.
Because he wants this torque puppy to be able to tow,
he's put it on top of a dually frame
from a chubby square bought pickup, baby.
Again, not very easy to do
but not outside of Rich's capabilities.
This guy has done some insane stuff.
Now this project is very much still in progress.
I can't wait to see how it turns out.
And also it's called the Model D like D-list.
I see you, Rich.
I see you flirting, dude.
(James whistling)
That's why it deserves a spot on the list.
Thanks for naming your car after me, bud.
If you think we're done with diesel swaps in this video,
you're wrong, dead wrong.
Coming in hot with a spicy Cummins swap is Westen Champlin,
which sounds like the name of a freaking trophy.
Last time we did a video like this,
you guys wouldn't stop commenting about this build,
and I totally understand why now.
This guy is freaking nuts. His video are insane.
Of course, I'm talking about his
Cummins swapped S550 Mustang.
AKA the Smokestang.
Personally, because it's a Cummins swap,
I would have called it (beep).
Unlike Rich Rebuilds' Tesla,
this Muscle Stang ain't built for towing, baby.
It's built for rolling coal down the drag strip
and doing big black and white smokey burnouts.
And it does a pretty good job at both of those things.
Just listen to this horsey purr.
(engine revving)
It's got a 12 valve V8 with two spinny boys
that make too much power for its own good,
according to Westen.
That's a quote.
And apparently it was a lot of work
to get this thing running correctly.
Good on you Westen.
You earned your spot on the list.
But this list ain't done.
Westen's Mustang is sick, but it's only got two turbos.
But you know what's better than two? Four.
You know what's better than four? Mm-hmm.
Eight. That's right.
I'm talking about an octo-Turbski, LS swapped,
Ford Muscle Stang built by Kyle from Boosted Lifestyle.
This is a car that would make Nadia Suleman proud.
So how do you even fit eight turbos under the hood of a car
that didn't even come with one turbo when it was born?
You don't.
All eight of these turbos, plus the radiator,
plus the four exhaust stacks
all protrude out of the engine bay.
But just look at the symmetry.
(orchestral music)
It's a work of art and it sounds like art two.
You know what art that you can hear is called?
Freaking music.
And this engine is freaking music to my ears.
Listen to the way this glorious octet screams.
(engine revving)
(James moaning)
As we all know, building is only half the battle.
The real challenge comes with tuning.
Ask me how I know.
I cannot imagine the difficulty of tuning a car
with the wrong engine and eight different turbos.
But that somehow did not stop Kyle from doing this anyway.
And that is exactly why we're slapping it on the list.
(flatulence passing)
Thank you, Max.
(children cheering)
Eight turbos is flashy but it might not be
the most practical way to light up a set of tires.
A supercharger on the other hand
is a great way to light up multiple sets of tires.
That's right, because our next car isn't even a car.
It's a truck. Gotcha.
It's a six wheel Chevy C10
built by Brad Deberti and his dad.
You got a dad? Congratulations.
Must be nice.
This ridiculous pickup truck is powered
by an LSX with a five liter Whipple supercharger.
And this truck makes a thousand sturdy, muscular,
buff horses on pump gas.
All right, but you're probably not looking under the hood
of this thing because you're probably looking
at that big old bed back there.
Or should I say the lack of bed?
'Cause most of it was cut to fit two sets of rear wheels.
And power is sent to all four of them.
So I guess technically this is a rear-wheel drive
four-wheel drive vehicle.
It also has a massive splitter, a chassis mounted wing,
and bright red wheels to match the supercharger's ITB's.
Unlike many SEMA builds that are slapped together
at the last minute,
this is a well orchestrated build
that absolutely destroys tires.
So if you like it, maybe head over to Brad's channel
and help him hit 100,000 subs.
Okay?
Maybe go help Brad out, reach a milestone.
By the way, I want to give an official Donut Underground
car of the week shout-out
to Travis Howey, a man with two first names.
He posted this sick drag car in the Post Your Car channel
on our server.
And if you want your car there and potentially here,
or you just want to join a community of car enthusiasts,

No commitment. You just wanna learn more.
All right guys, it's been a long road.
We got one last vehicle.
On the spectrum of builds,
we've been all over the place today,
but this final one is definitely the most extreme.
I promise. And I would never lie to you.
It might even be the biggest build on YouTube.
Coming in at 15 feet tall
with not one but two Duramax diesel engines.
We got our boy, Whistlindiesel's Monstermax 2.
Whistlindiesel is one of my favorite YouTubers.
Now besides being a capybara enthusiast,
Cody likes trucks.
This is one heck of a truck.
Let's start with the tires, shall we?
Sure, makes sense. They're on the bottom.
It sits on some of the biggest agricultural tires
that Goodyear has to offer.
Each one weighing over 1,500 pounds.
The axles together weigh about 26,000 pounds.
They each have their own engine and transmission.
The fuel tanks, which are shaped like freaking missiles,
weigh 500 pounds each without fuel.
The whole thing comes to about 40,000 pounds.
That's 15 Kia souls.
Americans will measure in anything, but the metric system.
It's got 12 shocks of 55 gallon oil drum
and four transmission coolers.
And it honestly looks nice.
I'm sure that he's gonna get
into all sorts of weird trouble with this thing.
It's kind of his MO.
But the real cherry on the top
of the whip cream of this sundae
is the literal battleship horn mounted on the roof.
- All right, give her a little chip.
- Uh-huh. (horn blowing)
- This big old truck might not be everybody's
three liter Figo,
but it definitely earns a spot at the top of the Monolist.
Your move, Rainbow Sheik.
There's a lot of cars on YouTube.
A lot of builds. A lot of creators.
If we missed your favorite one, let us know in the comments.
There are so many of these bonker vehicles here on the tube.
That's what I call it.
And we wanna keep featuring our favorite ones
because you know what.
It's a community. All right?
It's community. And we're all friends here.
Let me know who you think deserves a spot on the Monolist.
