NEW TDI SWAP! 91 Toyota 4X4 Pickup With Automatic Transmission Getting 02 1.9L ALH TDI!
Although this should be very similar to my 91 Toyota TDI swap, I wanted to showcase getting an early electronic automatic transmission to work in a TDI swap. Mild 1.L ALH TDI build with 170 HP goal, GTC154VK turbo, 220 or 240 nozzles, and 26-27 PSI boost. Stay tuned as we try get this truck working like it always had a TDI in it!

Making A Custom ALH Wiring Harness With All New Connectors For The 1Ton TDI Dakota
have u ever thought about or tried swapping a crua tdi
I have looked into it. Not many newer TDIs for sale around me, and the cost to get started with a CR swap is at least double sometimes triple that of a 98-06 build.
@@TDISwaps if u had a whole functional car with the crua motor would you still have to buy a bunch of extra stuff to make it work other than the obvious like adapter plates
@ngelemental2274 I do not trust the cp4 pump in the CRUA so I would do a CP3 pump and delete tune and the starting price for all of that combined is around $2000, I can setup an ALH for less than half that, sometimes under $700 with used parts. Those costs are completely separate from the swap itself
Alright another build!! It’s gonna be awesome! I finally parted out my 2001 VW Golf and have almost broken even on the car so I basically got the engine for free. I’m gonna start pairing down the wiring harness but I’m having a hard time on where to start first. Do you have any links or tips of where I could get the wiring diagrams to make a standalone harness myself?
Nice! Well all the diagrams are one the TDI swapped trucks group on Facebook if that helps?
@@TDISwaps that’s does help! Would they just have a photo album of the wiring diagrams that I could use to make some copies of? As far as I know these dodge Dakota swaps are kind of rare. Unless I’m mistaken my swap will be the 6th tdi swapped Dakota in history?
@ydocproductions5593 haha I haven't been keeping track but most of the wiring is just for the TDI side and they have PDF files for everything
@@TDISwaps thanks for the tip. I appreciate your time man👍
@ydocproductions5593 glad to help!
I've always said no to a TDI swap because I thought an automatic wouldn't be doable. I'm very interested now
Haha I already have 2 autos on the road sir!
The v6 drivetrains are mounted further forward than the 4 cylinders for firewall clearance. I think it's 2.5" difference if I remember right.
Well all I know is, it is much appreciated! 😂
if it comes down to it yea its a bit of cash but microsquirt TCU will fix you controller issues . cool build
Ya we may look at that if the stock controller doesn't shift right for us.
I want to do one of these swaps so bad
You wouldn't regret it! I only wish I would have done them sooner!

@goatsmisadventures I don't know what you call easy, I pretty much bought a good deal I found in the past 6 years and probably collected 20 to 25
Nice
Thanks!
That's the dream right there. Late model toyota pickup with an ALH, 5 speed and a custom step bed or some something unique like that
Heck ya!
Lets go!!!
Any reason why you always go for an ALH? i plan on putting a BRM in my Ranger using your old videos, seams like it should be about the same difficulty, however im hesitant seeing that you always go for the ALH’s. Any reason?
Haha because they keep showing up at my house for $500 😂😂 the BRMs do too but they are so clean I can't stand to take them apart yet. The ALH cars are always rusty
@@TDISwaps fair enough haha. Ease of access thing for you then, you run a scrap yard?
@gavynrich1034 LOL maybe a TDI scrap yard, but don't tell my wife 😂😂😂
Can you posibly make me a loom for bkd retro fit in to a peugeot 306
Well I am usually making these looms using the TDIs wiring like the original BKDs loom. And I'm also always making them standalone like to run without hooking to a factory ve cluster, just universal gauges
if i want to swap from alh to arl, do i need to replace all the wire harness too?
Ya the engine wiring is quite different for the VE ALH vs PD ARL, at least the engine harness would need changed
I'm just doing a timing belt. Locked the crank with the crank tool but can only fit a 5.5 mm pin to lock the cam. The 6 mm locking pin doesn't go in. Actually I measured it to 5.9 mm. So the cam must be a tiny bit off. What would you suggest as solution for this problem? Loosen the three cam sprocket bolts and try to line up the cam with the center bolt until I can insert the 6 mm locking pin?
You will be able to fine tune the cam timing with vcds after Install, the 5.5 lock is fine, I usually don't lock it at all just visually inspect it's close and recheck once running again
@TDISwaps Thank you so much. Sometimes, all one needs a bit of reassurance.
@VNAV_PTH 100% the biggest mistake guys make is NOT turning the engine over with a ratchet after the job is done. Anything can be fixed if you turn it over by hand and find that the engine locks up because you messed the timing up. But as soon as you bump the starter with something messed up, the valves are likely bent.
@@TDISwaps Got it. I haven't even removed the old belt yet because of the issue with the locking pin. I will try to get it in after removing the crank tool and rotate the crank slowly at the same time. If successful, the crank tool will then likely not fit. So I guess then it's time to loosen the cam sprocket bolts and rotate the crank (hopefully clockwise) until I can get the crank tool in. If I have to turn it counterclockwise, I will pass TDC a tiny amount and then turn clockwise until it fits. Does that seem reasonable, or would you just leave the crank tool in its locked position as it is right now and turn the cam instead (after loosening the cam sprocket bolts)?
@VNAV_PTH yes I would leave the crank locked and adjust the cam with the bolts loose
One thing to add , is once the cams out and you’ve still got the bottom crank locked off , before you put the belt back on with the new cam, get the cam lock off tool for the top end in place don’t trust that the cam was in the correct place to begin with . On VCDS mine read -3.3 before I took the old one off and then again with a new one it was at -3.3 . I had to mess about fine tuning it with the cam pulley adjustment bolts and VCDS . Got it to -1 . Would have preferred it perfect at 0.5 but was bot in the mood for taking the steering pump reservoir and engine mount etc as I have a mk4 golf that’s lowered . Right pain .
Yes you do need to adjust the cam after startup almost every time. I actually prefer -1 for MPG from what I've experienced.
Thanks for the video mate saved me a fair amount of money in labour cost doing this myself . On start up it sounded not so nice and then ran the cam in at 2000rpm for 10-15 mins and drove 14 miles then dropped the oil and running fresh now . Possibly another change at 2k due to one of my lifters having a hole in it so metal debris has sat in pan and don’t want any blocking the pick up filter .
Glad to help sir! Yes lifters can be noisy at first but sounds like you have it all fixed!
this is the only thing i dont like about some engine swap, is removing the stock gauge cluster. On something this old you could had made the stock cluster work. and had the digital read out on the side for the engine, removing the cluster makes it feel not factory and more like a race car. The factory cluster would had everything but boost and do you really need that gauge once its tuned? not really. Could of hid that in the glove box etc. There is nothing like a engine swapped car with all factory gauges working, it feels oem, even the brz/frs can be engine swapped and all factory gauges work and its on can bus. This is old analog, it would be way easier. not hating on the swap or anything, it just feels unrefined.
My problem is, I would still want to see oil temp, EGT, boost to keep things in check, towing at 70 MPH I am pushing this engine hard in the mountains. That and the original cluster only said hot or cold for coolant. 230° was barely moving the gauge and that with 1300° EGTs pulling a mountain pass towing has already cracked a piston in my other truck. You really need precise numbers if you want to abuse the engines, and the factory gauges didn't give me that. Also, with 33" tires the speedometer was 12 mph off with the only fix being a $250 inline cable speed reducer. That alone paid for every gauge on my dash 🤷
Hey, I’m swapping in a 98 Jetta motor for a Toyota pick up truck. I have no wiring harness or ecu is this something you build ?? For custom built ones ?? Very interested
So I can get a lot of the plugs new, but I would have to source some of it used, I do build them for customers yes. You can get a hold of me on Facebook facebook.com/profile.php?id=100014261163897&mibextid=ZbWKwL
what type of motor mounts and transmission mount did you use? custom or did you leave the stock ones in there?
I used a universal mount on my first 3 swaps that worked very well, on this I tried to reuse the Dakota mounts, actually 2 passenger side mounts, but they are vibrating worse than the universal ones in my other swaps. There are videos on the whole build.
@@TDISwaps thanks, I was curious about the vibrations on the stock mounts. Doing this to a 99 Tacoma and the stock mounts don’t have much “cushion” I’ll check them out when I get off work! Awesome stuff!
@miguelpasana2869 thanks for watching man
Whats the fuel mileage like in this thing with the lift and tires??
I average about 21 mpg but I have seen as high as 24 mpg at 70 mph
@@TDISwapsi saw your other video where your egt’s got crazy high and you dropped a cylinder. Do you think a 1.9 swap into a stock dodge dakota with 33’s i would run into any overworking problems?
@gavynrich1034 that was mostly caused by outside Air temps at 117°. Tuning needed fixed to control EGTs better on top of that, but my cooling system was not keeping up over 105° outside. Back home here at 70° out I can tow a trailer no problem. So it really depends on how well you build it. I have 5.13 axle gears that mostly make up for the big tires. It moves about like the V8 I pulled out.
@@TDISwapsokay that makes more sense, i should be fine then. Im curious as to how you mated the engine and transmission, i cant find a company site online that sells adapter plates to the dodge transmissions
@gavynrich1034 haha yeah you would need to watch the whole build series on this truck, it's a complete Frankenstein. TDI engine with aw4 Jeep Cherokee transmission, Dodge 1500 transfer case then custom drive shafts to the Dodge 3500 axles, and a Jeep Cherokee steering box just around things off 😂 I mean at least I stayed Chrysler right?
Need me to send ya one of those bmw electric pump?
Only if it comes with a controller LOL
Wanting to toss my BRM motor into my ford ranger, will the wiring process from your video be about the same from the ALH to the my BRM you think?
Those are a bit different, but I did a PD/BRM video as well on the wiring
Im a little new to the brm platform and looking into turbo and injectors as well. From my understanding when you put in different injectors you have to tune each one in with vcds? Im a little confused on that part or if you even did that. If you or anyone could help me on this topic that be much appreciated. Thank you!
So vcds doesn't really do tuning, only diagnostics and some slight adjustments. Now to do bigger injectors you need aftermarket tuning like I am loading in this video, and yes the tune itself has a map for each injector making it more complex than the older TDI engines with just a single fuel map. But vcds itself does not adjust the fueling on a BRM
@@TDISwaps thanks for the quick response it i really appreciate it and it helped a lot! also im loving the build. Keep it up!
@dylanrounseville9919 thanks for watching!
What tuning software?
@na-ec4fo well I use mpps for flashing the tunes, winosl for actually adjusting them
Hey! Cool build. I'm doing a similar swap putting an ALH tdi into my 93 4Runner, I was wondering what turbo manifold you used?
That manifold is a universal t3 manifold off eBay, I use alot of custom setups now for my turbos
Very cool. I’m putting a gtb2056 on my ALH syncro right now. Curious if you ran a muffler on this ? It doesn’t sound too loud. Thanks
Turbos are great mufflers 😁 this has about 16" of pipe dumping out right behind the front tire
Very nice! My BRMs rip! And I think they are basically stock. I don’t know, maybe some owner before me had them tuned 😄
Haha ya they are pretty gutless stock, but even a mild tune wakes them right up
How do you mate a 1.9 tdi to a nv3500
They don't make a dodge nv3500 adapter, you would need to use a Chevy bell housing to make it work. Or use a jeep ax15 would be another option

Super ballpark question. What would you say the cheapest you could do a swap? Looking to reuse as much VW stuff as possible
If you checkout my more in-depth video on this with price breakdowns, and picked up a clean car with minor issues worth 2-3x what you pay, there is potential to MAKE money doing the swap lol
Hey man any idea where one would get a standalone wiring harness for a 5L V10 TDI. There’s a fellow TH-camr who is going to be swapping one of those engines and needs the emission, security, and such deleted. Any idea or leads for a tune on the market for that?
I mean I have the stuff to make the wiring harness and turn immobilizer off on the ECU, I'm not sure though on custom tuning

Hello, does 250 hp corresponds to 45 degrees of injection at 4000 rpm ? I'm asking because with mine 38 degrees should give more than 200 and it doesn't might be my cat restricting exhaust

@@TDISwaps Could be interesting to know man! I really would like (dyno proven) to see what actually 80mg is @4000 rpm Intake is the big pd130 aluminium one with stock airbox and KN filter that should be alright for that power goal The torque follows the right curve up until 3500rpm where afterwards it makes too less torque to achieve my 200hp goal, even 2° injection more would give 4-5hp less which is nonsense

A small turbine heats the air more, this can also affect the engine temperature. And why do you need a pressure of 1 bar on a flat road without a rise?
I am combatting the heat rise with a very oversized intercooler. I am never on flat ground haha, I live in the mountains. I need 1 bar of pressure just to get up my driveway
@@TDISwapsYes, I saw later that these were long climbs)
@ВладимирЯковенко-б2з yes unfortunately I am really working these little engines. I do have much bigger turbos on my other TDIs that are much lighter and can slip the clutch more, but I think for this truck the true fix would be compound turbos to have cool efficient air at all rpm levels.

We’re interested in how to do an LS swap to TDI in 2009 Chevy Suburban. Do you have anything on that?
I haven't looked into anything that new, I'm not sure which transmission that is or how you would control it without the LS computer. Assuming it's a 4l60e they do make controllers for them or you can manually shift it. Otherwise I would probably swap the transmission as well just to simply making it shift correctly.
Hey man ive seen some of your videos did you use the VW condesor for ac or did you adapt your ac from VW to toyota?
Ya everything is Toyota besides the compressor and the first part of the lines coming off it. Then I tig welded the VW lines to the Toyota lines. I did a video on it
@@TDISwaps okay I saw that in one video, but was still a little confused. I want to document my swap so I might do some videos on it as well. I’ve been using your videos for some help on deciding what to do. How does the motor sit without the 4 inch lift?
@haydenreil2210 it's very snug, about 3/4" of clearance in a lot of places all around the engine especially with the AC compressor in

How much space do you need to fit the ALH in there? I'm looking to possibly stuff one in a ~22" wide bay and I'd rather not chop it up if I don't have to.
The factory AC on the ALH and low mounted turbo are what make them wide. 22" will be tight with stock components. But relocating AC and a top mount turbo would free up a ton of space around the frame .

I want to ask some trivial questions. What power? what is the boost pressure? What is the fuel consumption on the highway and in the city?
Well each vehicle is different that I have, but I am tuned for 180-250 HP at 26-36psi boost. And fuel consumption varies but they are at least double what I got with the original gas engine before the swap
What transmisson is this running?
R150F 5 speed that came behind the 3.0 v6
I would like to see you take it on another phoenix trip!
Ya I plan to take it back, but not in the summer, I didn't like that trip anymore than the truck 😂
Hi friend, I'm a fan of your videos, I made a 1.9 TDI project in a Jeep Liberty, I tried to make my harness but I'm missing some components, could you help me with the diagram? thank you.
You have the schematics printed out then?
Yes I had them, but I lost them and now I have nothing.
@Estebandealba3335 I don't have any way to link them on TH-cam
With a little bit of work those TDI motors make impressive numbers I’ve been debating putting one in my ranger one of these days
I know you would love it!
