Some come with them from the factory, that's why he mentioned maybe trying to find a factory turbo one so it's lower compression. Looked for them myself but it seems if it's turbo it's automatic

[@erwark]

Can we just appreciate the Daihatsu dealer for just giving the pinouts and Rob for translating everything? Champs!

[@jrbuch]

Marty, I really appreciate the depth you're going into with the install of the ECU. Stimulating and enjoyable to watch A++

[@eppyz]

One thing I really like about Moog and Martin is over all these years they have managed to stay very humble. I have seen many KZbin Creators get a bunch of likes or views, subs, and turn into complete A holes. Moog and Marty don't even have a Patreon account. If you want to help them out, you buy some merch. They never have pleaded for likes, subs, or asked for donations...Very Very rare to see that on KZbin....These guys not only make great content year after year, they have remained friends, and have made the viewers seem like friends as well. All I can say is never change guys, keep doing what your doing, and we will keep watching. Much Love to you all from the USA 👍🙏

[@paste8686]

[@Jamiewaldie1992]

Those are the friends you want. Willing to do the difficult stuff to make your life so much easier. Mad respect to him 💪🏻

[@MrPropanePete]

I hung around for every second of the "nerdery". Was a mechanic in the 60's and am slowly getting up to speed with the ECU "nerdery" age. I've had several decades absence from the automotive industry so watching videos like yours and from Haltech and The Skid Factory and others has really helped me. Thanks boys.

[@ManWithBeard1990]

Funnily enough I was once told that the Japanese language has no real word for the colour green. In their language, green is considered a shade of blue. I'm told the actual primary colour is that teal colour that Makita tools are. Not sure if that's true or not but seeing green translated as grass does kind of corroborate that.

[@mightycarmods]

Good info, thanks!

[@Tomazack]

@Por Qué? Sort of on topic, there's a liqueur from Japan that is used in coctails called Midori Green Melon. A bit redundant to call it midori and green in the same sentence though.

[@jdmfreak22]

[@daleowen92]

just read mary's fb post and screw the unappreciative people who thought this video was boring. no it isnt a video of them doing an enormous burnout with a 1000hp car or ripping through the streets ken block style with dancing gorillas. but its a genuine insight to what the build process is like when you're working on a project you sincerely care about. I've been watching mcm since the very early days and i love how you guys have stuck true to your roots and shown us the ground up builds. i've built a handful of cars in my time but always steered away from electronics because i feel like im hopeless with the little wires and currents etc. but videos like this remind be that you just gotta get it done and give it a try. you appreciate it so much more when you just do it yourself. good shit marty love ya work

[@hyper8545]

The 2nd coolest kei truck on the internet. (Hoonigan built the 13b kei truck with the 1 of 1 body kit) Sick work guys🤙

Barely understood any of this but enjoyed every minute of it. Marty youre a true hero mate. Keep pushing your limits because watching what you blokes can do with cars is truly inspiring

[@jackmerry7796]

Just seen Marty’s Facebook post about how people hate on ‘nerdy’ videos… I just wanted to say I love all your videos even if I have no idea what is going on. I personally would rather you upload what you want to upload than what your veiwers want you to upload, keep doing you. I love all the content and get excited when I get the notification that you have uploaded an new video. Anyway time to watch this video…. Cheers fellas!

[@Wwhitewulf]

Awesome work! A challenge and you've done it. Got to say, the influence from you and the guys at Haltech and BCW have definitely made things better, when wiring on my own car, I'm now using proper connectors and proper tools. Keep it up!

[@wobblysauce]

Having the proper connectors at hand at the time is normally the issue, when you already have a pile of them it is easy to use.

[@redbeardenterntainment6116]

You should make a side scoop for the intercooler. It's help get more airflow and look sick!

[@danielschmid8530]

Rob seriously is a damn sweet guy. Massive shoutouts to him.

[@momoloo141]

Well done Marty! I once had to redo all the wiring in my 68 Mustang and adapt it to a new Bosch coil with a closed coil to switch assembly (security regulations in Germany), to get it street legal. Was a real nightmare. You need balls to touch any electrics in a car. Chapeau...

[@belzedar997]

I absolutely stayed for all the nerdery i get very excited when i see you guys have posted a new video

[@khanikun2587]

Finally getting into it. Held off on watching any new eps, so they could build up and I could do a little binge watching. Surprised you didn't get the ecu pinout from the dealer first. I've gone through the Subaru dealership and they are super helpful. If they don't have it, they get with the Subaru manufacturer. I had to do this to show proof that my Subaru was built for and sold in Japan, so I could get it legal for the road. I was bringing the car back to Japan and I didn't have the export certificate.

[@yutub561]

I'm putting a 5.9 magnum from a dodge ram into an e30, I know the feeling of not being able to get info 😅
