I went ahead and made a harness from scratch for the Dakota Swap to include just the wires needed for this setup, it was definitely a learning experience actually crimping each pin for every wire involved.

I’m planning on doing a Dakota 4 door swap with a alh Tdi as well in the future would it be possible for me to use a old 6 cylinder Toyota manual transmission and adapt it to the tdi with a plate but I’m unsure on what kind of adaptor plate you use and I’m wondering if it’s even possible to do the Toyota to tdi adapter

Oh yeah you can use whatever adapter and transmission you want just have to get hooked to the axles and you're good to go

Do you think it's harder to remove the unused pins out of the factory harness? I'm sure this looks cleaner at the ECU. But you hid it well under the dash.

The way I make harnesses in my other videos is by far the easiest, I don't even de on the spares, just tape them up and it goes right under the dash never to be seen again. This is nice but overkill on neatness haha.

How’s your Silverado swap working out? I got a high mileage 05 Tahoe but no rust. Contemplating. Also have a BHW donor sitting and ready.

We have it back on the road, still waiting on some tuning to get it dialed in just right, had trouble getting a torque converter that would stall like we wanted. Without some better tuning 65-70 mph is about max without egts getting too hot, did a 150 mile trip with it and saw right at 23 MPG

@@TDISwaps Did you ever consider changing out the 46le? I'm scrolling for a nv3500hd. NV3500 should do it but figured if I am already doing the work might as well play it safe. Plus my gear selector on the cluster is already dead haha. Power-wise, stock-ish (disregard the tune) the bhw should put out more power than the bew. Trying to figure out how to adjust the gearing. Anyways, just thinking out loud.

@djolecar88 actually the auto is the ticket with little diesels, boost lag sucks with bigger turbos and clutch work. The transmission does great honestly, we just want it to slip to where it's already in boost so it can take off at full torque. Manual trans completely kills that option. My jeep and Toyota suck off the line. Also the BEW is already tuned for more power than the BHW as is, nobody swaps these to leave them stock haha

Hey how do you get a tac reading off of a 1.9 Aaz ?
@TDISwaps
@TDISwaps Жыл бұрын
I'm not familiar with the AAZ engine and wiring, usually I get tac readings from the swap vehicles crank sensor or through the OBD port on the newer TDIs

And this is why I don't make harnesses. It's intensive and a bit of a pain. Glad to see you're doing it though.
