I FINALLY Fixed The TDI Swapped Toyota Truck!

The TDI truck is finally not making any noise!! The springs in the INA lifters were the issue all along!

I'm new to this channel but must confess I enjoy it much more that your brother's channel. No showing off no attitude just a cool claim host actually providing great information and ideas. Thank you Sir

[@austinniemela]

Haha thanks!

[@k.slater1797]

@@austinniemela don't get me wrong but I'm just being honest your style is better and you are trying to share your knowledge which is what I'm certain we all appreciate. You seem genuinely interested and knowledgeable unlike the trial and error approach demonstrated on your brother's channel. Please Sir keep doing your best and your channel will grow.

Some off road stress testing is in order now she’s running sweet!

I absolutely love it when I’m able to shove the dowel into the glow plug hole! 😂 It never gets old, ever! 😂😂😂👍🏼

[@managerofkisses6103]

Man my 96 tacoma had this buzzing noise coming from the charcoal canister every time I get done with a drive. I literally redid my entire evap and I come to find out it was the charcoal canister itself lol. Apparently the 95-96 tacomas had this issue with the charcoal canister but it was a PAIN to figure out lol. Props to you for attacking this type of teardown for your problem, respect!

[@alanflorida9102]

Way to go! I respect the way you keep your jobs and workspace tidy it says alot about the quality of your builds.

[@thomasmurphy5906]

Thanks for taking us along with you diagnosing, finding and fixing the issue, I learned a lot from your journey, such a nice truck and now you're going to be able to enjoy putting some miles on it ☮️

[@austinniemela]

Thanks!! Finally can drive it!!!

[@suzuki230]

Do you know anybody that can flow test the injectors nearby? Also great job on the video, editing is done well, we can hear your voice clearly, Background music is not too loud, lighting is good and content is damn good.

[@austinniemela]

Thanks man I appreciate that!

Such a sick truck you really did a great job keep it up!

Glad the snow is on the east side and not the west, kinda hoping for no snow on the west side of the mountains this year. The Trunk is sweet!!

Thanks for the videos man, I'm about to do a swap on my 79 hilux. Probably 5.3 or 6.0/nv4500/1 tons

[@theravedaddy]

I had a headgasket blow on my toyota 5l out in the back of nowhere while on the way to motoGP. I left it with a local garage while we went the rest of the way in a hire car. When i picked the truck up it was running but really slow, i drove it 250km back home. I checked the motor over a week later only to find it was timed up a tooth out on the camshaft!

[@dandorris8531]

To much fuel and not enough air movement “ boost” will cause higher EGT temps. You change to lower flow injectors which were probably more in sync with the turbo boost levels at cruise which lowered EGTS. Oh by the way subbing. Love Toyota’s nice build on that red truck. I own 2 yotas 89 sr5 runner first gen. Yes it has the 3 slow but completely rebuilt and runs great with the manual trans. Also 85 sr5 solid axle efi x-cab fully loaded. It’s in excellent shape and people always want to buy it. It’s currently locked away in storage for the last 3 years. I drive an 08 mega cab so I have a pretty good idea what causes EGT temps.

[@cmac956]

I'm glade you got it, those things can drive you nuts . good going.

[@matik5220]

Every time I change injectors on this type of tdi I always check fuel dose (and correct if necessarry) . Maybe they are injecting too much fuel and egt is too high. (I hope my english is enough so You can understand what I'm trying to say) Btw, great video as always, cheers

[@thesupermut]

All I can say is, bro...I feel your pain. Big job for a small item.

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

Austin, I am no expert TDI tech but I've been told from those that are when you are bleeding the injectors fuel should be spurting out of there from 6 inches to a foot making a mess everywhere. If they are not doing that you could have a weak pump in the injection pump or seized vanes in the injection pump. Maybe it just didn't show on camera when you were bleeding them. I am fighting this right now on a piece of crap 2002 TDI beetle I bought to take the engine out of.

[@austinniemela]

No it doesn’t need to spray 6’’ lol just enough to soak a rag.

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

@@austinniemela what if nothing comes out of two or 3 of the injector lines ? lol

[@madcratebuilder]

Make a probe to screw in the glow plug hole that well stop the piston. Rotate to stop piston and mark balancer, rotate back till it stops and mark balancer, half way between marks is true TDC. Same with a spark plug hole. Time for a zipper on the valve cover.

[@dwarnermg]

IPA tools makes a TDC kit like that I’m not sure of all the engines they fit though

[@mikerobertson1250]

Best taco channel on KZbin as far as I’m concerned

[@joshc5512]

Good work man. I hope that is the issue, it seems like it is. Have you treated the diesel with anything? The ultra low sulfur diesel seems to be causing all kinds of injection system issues, old and new. Just not enough lubrication in the fuel now for the systems. As for EGTs, from what I've come across, larger injectors usually increase EGTs when cruising just because it's usually a little more fuel even when cruising. Also, was the ambient temperature much different? That could partially contribute. No other difference than just injector change right? Just might need a bigger/better flowing turbo now 😝

[@austinniemela]

I have tested at 90f and 15f with only a small change in egt.. turbo flows plenty!!

[@peterhancox5268]

You can get a “dial indicator” that screws into the spark plug/igniter hole. Very accurate

[@Drvnfster]

Hey man just got some led headlights for my 1996 Tacoma do I need a harness or wire to connect to the red drl plug

[@keepitsimpleson.withrogers7028]

Nice work

[@abpsd73]

I would think the EGT issue would be in tuning now. Maybe the cruising injection quantity/timing is off, or the tune didn't factor some injector modifications.

[@ronbranum4134]

I think the stock bed looked best.... But damn that is sweet.... It is exactly the way I had planned to build mine.

[@evloftis4143]

you should talk to Nate over on Dirt lifestyle on you tube he knows about TDI's he put one in his TJ jeep

[@ronthompson2366]

Same advice..give Nate a call. Can't hurt to collaborate, that's just professional.

[@ronthompson2366]

Additionally you need to find someone who is a diesel engine tuning specialist. Because it is different than a gas tuner. So you can tune for the oversized injectors and cam. Some times a higher egt than stock is the norm and allows for better total fuel burn... less black smoke...plus cold air intake...Gale Banks gets really in depth with information on this. Turbo size, cam, cam timing, injector size, air intake...unique in diesel engines some gas engine tuners don't know.

[@realaussiemale567]

You’ve spent so much time & $$$ on this beast, wouldn’t make sense to not have it running 💯

[@mauroperez7440]

No entiendo nada de lo que dice x no entender el idioma pero que gran forma de trabajar es una inspiración para hacer algo con mí camioneta claro que estoy cien puntos abajo jaja saludos desde argentina

[@Nilezy]

With regards to EGT’s, more fuel in a diesel DOES not mean lower EGTs! Tuners not in the know confuse this with gas tuning with lower temps when AFR are lower by adding more fuel. The stock set of injectors are close to ideal AFRs for cooler EGTs when your non stock ones were not with the current tune

[@jimmadonna1436]

I can't believe that it's snowing there already! Devin said that it was. I hope that you have things figured out. Any word on the 4.88 for the front?

Hey, im in the middle of alh swapping my 92 surf, i may have just not found it but did you have a video addressing the throttle situation or atleast might you have some suggestions for the issue i have to solve is my 92 surf is drive by cable with a kickdown cable for the trans too and the donor 02 jetta tdi is drive by wire.

[@austinniemela]

You need to use the vw throttle pedal in the toyota!

[@jsav8610]

@@austinniemela its currently got a 2lte diesel with a a343f auto trans, my intent is to keep the auto, if anyone knows of an adaptor already made that would be cool.

[@javier4764]

Good job

[@AE-lk3uc]

When you pulled the head because of the oil leak did you verify timing belt again or just go off of where it was? Also im not a tdi expert but if your newer injectors are aet at a different or say at a higher pressure it will change your timing. An injector set at a higher pressure generally means you will have to increase the Timing accordingly. It takes more for the pump to pop the injectors at higher pressures delaying your injection event.

[@austinniemela]

Yes I set the timing again!

[@remington1439]

I thought that was a EB4, so I heard you say a VW Diesel engine? Hum, that’s different? It is a sweet truck. The best swap Toyota I’ve ever seen
