Fake. Didn't mention alcohol being a key item.
Well you may need some, but too much is not recommended
a few brews always helps!@@TDISwaps
@roberttammerawitchey4652 cant argue with that!
Or pot too 😂
@stan3070 😂😂😂
Thanks for this! I’m about to dive into a swap on a cab over 4x4 Toyota van. I’m particularly nervous about wiring, and with limited space, fitting the vac pump and power steering pump.
Running through vids like these to help teach me what I’m in for.
Long live RUclips tutorial school !
Glad to help man!
Been contemplating this in my hardbody for a while. Only thing holding me back is wiring/ecu, as I'm clueless. One day. This is good info though thank you 👍
Get some good diagrams and you can handle it, I'm about to make a video on ALH wiring just like the BEW one I made previously
Get a td engine fuck tdi with all that wiring crap more problems the vw td engines is just two wires to make it run mechanical injection pump
@@bobjeffersonjeffy7968 Well sure MTDI is an option, but you can run electronic on 3 sensors, 38 wires, and I make the harness for people for $300. At that point is it really worth sacrificing the 250 HP and 400 TQ I am making electronic, I guess that's up to you. I have a mechanical pump set aside for doomsday, but until then I'm enjoying v8 torque and 30-35 MPG in my 4x4 pickup ha ha
@@TDISwaps ya I know what ya mean but I’m talking about just td from a 1993-8 golf gl those engines are the best you can run any kind of fuel on them
@@bobjeffersonjeffy7968 Ya but those engines are not gonna move the vehicles I'm swapping at 100-150 HP max, I need more than that alot of the time, and most of the old TD engines are throwing parts out the sides long before they make 200 HP. No to mention I'm running WMO and old gas in my 06 PD engines lol
Thanks for the video I plan on putting one of these engines into my 1950 Chevrolet
Nice! I have a 59 F100 I hope to swap someday
Looking at the v6 engine bay I'm slightly worried about the 97 tacoma I'm looking at swapping with the 2.7. Thanks for sharing all the information.
Glad to help! It does fit pretty well but yes more snug than you would think
Am I the only one to see the socket sitting on the fuel pump? Nice work on these. I'm working on a cjaa in a 07 jku wrangler. It's bolted in, just gotta figure out all the plumbing and wiring.
Nice work! Haha yes that is my permanent three-sided socket because I didn't have one when I needed to adjust the pump so I hammered a 7mm onto it 😂
Hey man I have a cbea for a 97 tj. I'm worried about the ecu and wiring. Any tips? This engine is off of a a3 audi 2011. The engine has all the connections but the ecu and wiring are missing. I bought the core for cheap. I just need plumbing and wiring to run it, but I've never ran a tdi.
@@carlostorres8398sorry missed this message since you replied to someone else. Ya I'm not sure the best bet for finding wiring, probably get it from a scrap yard. It would take months to try track down all the connector plugs part numbers to order new.
Very nice job !!
Thanks for watching!
False information he didn’t mention crying
🤣🤣🤣 you only need to cry if you get scammed on parts, unfortunately that is happening more and more these days 😔
Have you done or seen anyone do a frontier tdi swap? I learned today you can use a 4bt VE pump and delete the wireless peddle.
It is extremely hard to get a 4bt pump tuned for any kind of fuel mileage or lack of smoke, they are mostly used for high HP application and getting it on there will cost you a good bit but it is possible. I do wiring and tuning services for way cheaper. I think I've seen a fromtier in the works but not finished yet
Just finished a mtdi swap. 6 weeks 8 hours a day and about 4-6 grand.
Hey getting it done is the important part! I've found cheaper ways to do stuff but it has taken a few swaps to figure it out. I'm down to under $2500 on them now, and I can get wiring and tuning to people for under $500
Hello i have a 98 gmc jimmy 4x4 blazer. Theres plently of vw diesels here. I want to pull the 4.3l out mount the vw in to the 4l60e. Want to keep the stock drive line. Convert over to a mechanical 4bt pump(bolts in) and have a pure mechanical diesel. Looking to build a multifuel diesel 4x4 suv. Run off used motor oil(wmo conversion), veggie oil,diesel you get the idea. A shtf vehicle
Well the 4bt pump doesn't just "bolt on" and needs quite a bit of adjustment to not be over fueling the 1.9l. but you definitely can do it, the 4l60 works well with a high enough stall converter. I actually run all kinds of alt fuels through my electronic pumps as well they run WMO just fine.
@@TDISwaps awsome yes your right about the 4bt pump I am running into some issues . I swapped the vw pully it bolted to the timing cover an seems to work but I don't think the injectors(stock ones) are big enough
What did you do for Engine mounts? from what I have seen, theyre mounted from the front and back in the cars instead of on the sides of the block.
If you check out my playlists I go over motor mounts. I make custom mounts in each side of the engine using spare holes in the block
I'm wanting to swap one of these into a 92 YJ Wrangler that I just picked up. It has the 2.5L, so it has the weak AX5 transmission and 21 spline transfer case. I'm not sure the transmission would hold up behind one of these.
Most guys that use the ax5 keep the TDI under 120 HP and it does alright, still over 200 TQ so it moves the jeep just fine similar to a 4.0l
Hey can you make me a harness with instructions for a 98 ford ranger 5 speed swap. And if so how much 😊
I only make universal harnesses, but they are easy to install into any vehicle, depending on the TDI they run $300-550 with a core harness exchange. You can find me on Facebook facebook.com/profile.php?id=100014261163897&mibextid=ZbWKwL
Older the better I'm guessing. I'd like to swap a 72 commando.
@ronaldjensen8927 that would be sweet!
@@TDISwaps thinking most cj5 swap parts would work.
@ronaldjensen8927 ya that sounds right
please try to convince tdconversions to make an adapter for the ford 2.3 lima from the old rangers.
I wish I could! I can't remember how many requests they need to make a new adapter but it's a lot unfortunately 😔
@@TDISwaps Its a darn shame since most rangers were the 4 bangers as well as alot of other older cars.
Just imagine a 1.6l vw diesel in a 70's mustang mach II... the ultimate abomination of the gas crunch.
That would be awesome!
Ya I am actually liking the setup of a manually controlled auto behind the TDI, and that makes it pretty universal to swap in a jeep or Chevy transmission into anything with some custom drivelines. @@davidmeier1004
i already put a reman trans in my ranger so i would prefer that to not be a sunk cost@@TDISwaps
Thanks for your videos.
I have a 2004 VW TDI BEW Manual (wrecked) and a 2002 VW 2.0 Jetta Gas Automatic. Planning to swap the BEW TDI engine into the Jetta Auto and the ECU.
Any think else I need to consider, recommendations / links that could help?
Anything that that you would not recomend.
Does the TDI BEW ECU need to be re-tuned from Manual to Auto?
Thank you for your advice in anticipation. Stay safe and looking forward to more videos.
You may want to check gear ratios in that automatic, it's very well maybe completely different than the diesel transmission and have you running 1000 RPM higher on the highway. And yes the ECU and wiring will not match up, adjustments will need to be made there
@@TDISwaps Thanks for the comments.
"Gear ratios": Ah! I thought so. Is there a fix and has it got to do with tuning?
"ECU and wiring" Since I am putting in the Engine, ECU and wiring from the BEW TDI, will it still be an issue?
@jmindito as long as you swap everything shouldn't be a problem, I would try swap the transmission and everything
@@TDISwaps 👍That's a very practical advice and I was considering that. However, just wanted to continue with the convenience of the automatic for city traffic.
@jmindito yeah as far as I know the gear ratios will make that not really an option
Cool stuff dude.im swapping a bew auto into a VW routan (dodge caravan) but I wanna run my alh with the 2005 VW Jetta tranny tiptronic. Is that possible ECM TCM wise?
TekMekTronics is setting up something like that using a European ECU setup I think, it's possible but no idea how ha ha
Any plans to make an Excel sheet to list the parts?
Well it's sort of hard because most of the parts are reused, or if I get them off eBay it seems like every time I share a link that part I bought is sold out 😂
What turbo setup are you running? I'm running a vnt17 and mechanical injection pump on my tacoma alh, my boost comes on @ 2k rpm. That turbo looks huge! I would like to talk with you sometime compare ideas and such. I'm thinking my next build might be a 4runner to carry the family...lol. I enjoy your channel keep up the good content 👍
The turbo on the Toyota is a gtc2262vk, compared to your gt1549vb (vnt17). My name is Kyle Meister if you look me up on Facebook TDI groups.
where did you get a mechanical pump?
im not having much luck finding one for an ALH
@@renosgarage7451I have one I picked up used, there are a couple guys in the states with some but I think they are only on Facebook, then there's the land Rover pumps you can find overseas, but that's hit or miss to find a good one not needing rebuilt
Can you run factory 86 toyota gauges? Or do you have to run custom gauges?
You can definitely use the factory sensors out of the Toyota engine and plug them into the VW, I just prefer to see numbers
@TDISwaps hell I can't see good enuff to matter!! I want simple reliability. Wats best adapters to use ? I have a 22r toyota stock tranny also a w56 tranny .also a r150 3.0 tranny wat be best for swap ?
Well w56 is weaker but has cheaper adapter. R159 is much stronger and doomsday diesel makes a pretty cheap adapter
Thanks!
No problem man!
Do you think this swap can be done on a 1985 jeep Cherokee that came with the 2.1 Renault turbo diesel engine?
Oh it can be done on anything but transmission adapters may force you to use a different Jeep transmission
@@TDISwaps that’s fine. I’d rather use. An ax15
@moejr14 yep that makes it an easy swap. As long as you can fabricate motor mounts and some hose routing the rest is easy. If you don't want to mess with electrical I make these plug-in play harnesses like in my videos for guys
@@TDISwaps so you make a standalone plug and play harness for the jeep that goes to the TDI?
@moejr14 well I make universal harnesses that plug into anything and you just have to wire your gauges to the engine. I can explain more if you want to find me on Facebook. facebook.com/profile.php?id=100014261163897&mibextid=ZbWKwL
Hmm thinking of one of these for my 2002 Frontier now. One cool thing about the D22 is the engine harness is separate from the body harness (would just have to make a jumper harness to interact with the body harness) What kind of fuel mileage can be expexted in a 4000lb vehicle?
I can easily get 30+ MPG highway out of my 4k lb Toyota at 75 MPH
I have a 2001 Frontier that I want to do a swap with
@BeanMartinVEVO they should be making frontier adapters at TD conversions now.
@@TDISwapsI found one online, I think I will be jumping in soon. I need to rebuild my transmission, so I think I’ll do that while I have everything taken apart
You ever seen one of these engines mounted to a three on the tree transmission?
Most of the older builds I've seen use a newer transmission to get overdrive. There is an early small block Chevy adapter though so I'm sure you could make it work
@@TDISwaps what website are you getting these adaptors from?
@@TDISwaps I’ve subscribed to your channel. We do a lot of stuff like this on my channel. Also, working on a build right now.
@FirstGendodgegarage should be the one you would need here. tdconversions.com/products/vw-1-9-2-0l-tdi-to-chevy-small-block-adapter-kit-pre-1986?sca_ref=2282812.xcTsEMbSOW
@@TDISwaps hell yeah brother thank you I’m excited now
how does it do highway driving? especially vibrations and speed
There is slight vibration at idle but on the highway you can't feel anything, smooth as could be
Hello, I'm from Puerto Rico. I want to make a swap to my tacoma tdi 1.9 ALH where can I get an engine?
It looks like maybe Puerto Rico did not get as many older ones, I see like 2005+ tdis for sale down there. I think a lot of the engine codes are different though. Alh was mainly in the USA. I'd have to do some checking to see what you'd want to look for.
Where did you get the engine? I have a 93' Yota 4RUNNER 4x4, manual 5spd. I'd really like to convert to diesel?
I just shop Facebook marketplace for the Volkswagen cars with bad transmissions, body damage or other issues and buy the whole car
Did you permanently affix a socket to your triangular bolt in your bosch pump too😂
You know it!
what are the best model/year tdi engines to get the best reliability and power?
I mean 99+ TDIs are good for 200 HP, up to 03 are the most reliable, 04-06 are better for 250-300 HP, and 09+ are good for 400+ but also less reliable and more expensive for parts, so it's kind of variable. Usually the cheapest option available is best
Any advice on the electrical portion on a BRM swap into a 99 S-10? It’s automatic with a 4l60e. I found the adapters for the trans but I’m worried about getting everything working on the electrical side. I’m fortunate enough to have the 06 Jetta that the engine is in tho.
I have wired a few of those harnesses for customers now, pretty straight forward after everything is deleted, just have to follow the schematics. Also check over the wires and untape everything to inspect. BRM wiring is known to crack and cause all sorts of signals issues
@@TDISwaps so your saying it may not be as bad as I’m thinking. 🤣🤣 the truck is a project for my son. He is 13 but this will be his first vehicle. We are excited to get started and will be pulling the tdi soon to change timing belt and all gaskets. After that we will dive into pulling the harnesses.
@Hatefulfoot well it's easy for me but I'm used to VW wiring. The schematics on the Facebook group TDI swapped trucks shows you everything. I also can make the harness and tune the ECU if you need it. So that can be your backup plan if you get started and your brain explodes 😂
@@TDISwaps I’m gonna look up that group now and I might reach out to you about doing that lol. Thanks for all the info!
@Hatefulfoot no problem! Glad to help out the TDI community, I pretty much just charge for my time, you get the experience free lol
ugh i wish you wew my uncle i need someone who has knowledge so i can do this on my 4x4 hardbody😂
I hope to do them for people someday, just not there yet
Become that uncle.
Would a 2010 2.0 work?
Yes definitely! They are more complex and part are more expensive, quite a few different deletes that need done to make them dependable, but for more money you can end up with an even higher HP build, so it's not at all out of the question for the swap.
Does that still have A/C?
The Toyota has AC, the Chevy just needs the hoses connected
hear me out, 1.9L swapped 318 (1.8L m10/m42) e30 sedan????
That could be a sweet build, those things are so light!
Why act like thats crazy
Hello, i want to swap my 3.6 dohc in my pajero for a 1.9,i just want to commute, no extensive off road as such,, i dont need nay eleftronics, what year engine would you recommend?
If you want to run a mechanical injection pump you will need to stick with the 98-03 TDIs, I'm not sure on the adapter for a 3.6 Pajero either
@@TDISwaps thanks a lot, i dont need an adapter as i will be swapping the tranny along.
Oh perfect! Well see what you can find, the wiring is also very easy
What power steering fluid do you use?
So far I have just used regular O'Reilly's brand stuff, but the older pumps don't like it as much cold, they tend to be a little stiff til it warms up for a few seconds after startup
Have you had any problems longevity wise using original fuel pumps? Also, is the H to relieve the extra pressure from standard gasoline fuel pumps?
I've got about 40K on my Toyota's pump running WMO, no issues with any of them so far. I mean the Chevy's pump is bound to go out just because it's a Chevy fuel pump LOL. Yes the H is just to relieve pressure
@@TDISwaps Can you run without a fuel pump? Don’t the Bosch p-pumps pull a siphon from the tank?
@FuZioNxYT yes if you want to drop the tank and put in a siphon you can, I prefer not having to mess with the tank at all though. Having the lift pump is also nice if you get any fuel line leaks I'd rather have diesel coming out than air getting in and killing the engine. On top of that over 200 hp these smaller Bosch pumps need a lift pump to supply enough fuel for the added HP
Do you ever sell any of ur swaps are do a swap for a fee? I have 2 VW alh and I quite honestly am getting tired of the cheap parts they use on these jettas
Plus would love to just get out of driving cars tho I love the ALH Engine
I would sell the Jeep or the Toyota at any time, I do plan to do these swaps for customers in the next 5-10 years though, just don't have enough free time with my current job.
@@TDISwaps what are you thinking on either one of them price wise?
@@BRWfilms with current market prices I would probably need to get $15k for the jeep and $11k for the Toyota.
@@TDISwaps that's reasonable. Really what I want is a ALH swapped Cherokee or 4 runner or something kind of simple and suv like for my Wife. (not lifted or built for off roading) I have a running and driving ALH and I could get a swap vehicle if you ever decide to do that as a service. I would definitely love to be your first customer.
And if time is the restraint i can be patient Lol
I process waste automotive oils into black diesel so I love these old Alh engine but the jetta its self is really junk
@@BRWfilms ha ha ya I am running black diesel anytime I get my hands on oil. Ya I just have too many hobbies to really take on anything extra, if I video'd everything I have going on it would be 5 videos a week lol
Question could I put a 2002 vw alh tdi in a 1996 honda civic?
Definitely, just have to figure out motor mounts and welding the CV axles together
How did the conversion go
@@jerbear7952 not to plan at all now I have a 1998 vw Jetta TDI
@infernoking7504 thats a good start!
How much cost for swap TJ
Reusing a lot of parts wiring hoses etc. I spent about $2300 on mine after parting out the donor VW car to make back $1000 on the build
Thanks, very interested to swap my wife's TJ
@@MrAVA700 it's a pretty awesome setup, and 22-26 MPG in a lifted TJ is just crazy!
