As well as for the dealership that gave them that information! While many industries are making it harder to work on your own belongings, this dealership seems to have been happy to help!
Agreed. Had a "buddy" that once told me that I was at the beginning of a project and to call him when I'm closer to finishing it. I haven't talked to him since I don't know when...
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
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.
Another mad nugget to add to the collection. What even better that its a practical truck to fang around in to get all those juicy turbos and bit for your up coming projects. Top stuff McM.
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 TH-cam 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 TH-cam....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 👍🙏
Saw a guy in london wearing the in the bin tshirt, told him cool shirt bro. My missus and his looked confused as us 2 strangers exchanged a smile and nod of heads 😁 cheers mcm, bringing petrolheads together all over the world 👊👊👊
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
Saw your post on Facebook before I got a chance to watch this episode, I scrolled to try and find the negative feedback and couldn't find any....focus on the positives...unbelievable story...love the 'walking of the street' approach your mate took...sometimes it just needs to be done...thanks for sharing...keep up the good work...from Ireland....
What an awesome little build. Props to your mate in Japan for getting that wiring schematic for you. Good friend. Very cool to see this running on the Haltech.
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!
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.
@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.
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
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...
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.
I love the little Kei Tipper! It's strange how rarer vehicles can just stand out as so cool and interesting. I am a Subaru fan, had WRX classics, Sports variations etc, but actually currently run a Subaru Brat (or Brumby to you guys). Over here in the UK it's just... Cool and Different!
A different but still enjoyable video, thanks for sharing. Over the years you've always been into your wiring etc, and you can see the enjoyment you get from achieving it all
im a chippy, and struggle like no ones business to understand car stuff but you guys are so entertaining and informative i watch every vid produced 100% quality!!!!!👌
I want to modify a Daihatsu Hijet Deck van so bad... But getting one here in Canada is very difficult. I'm living vicariously through you guys! Keep up the good content!
What a beast!!! A pure road burning 🔥 mega monster 👺!!! LoL I can’t tell you how impressive it is to watch, how much you have done to something so little, to accomplish so much, with such turbo technology. Incredible. Cheers.
Thats awesome you can do all that by yourself, with some help from your mate of course, but it inspires me that i could do my own upgrades to my fiesta st. Thanks Martin and Moog, for all you do
Yup, getting hold of a wiring diagram saves you a good few days doing a continuity check on all the engine sensors and the ECU plugs. I've done that a few times and it's an arse of a job 😉
Talking about getting a pinout/wiring diagram, well done for getting one in Kanji (Translated). I worked for Honda in the UK in the 90's and all their PC's BIOS that drove various machines were in Kanji. Try reconfiguring a failed PS/2 that is in Kanji!! That was fun. But in terms of getting a pinout/wiring diagram my best experience was in New Zealand when I "restored" an ex-military Landrover 109 V8 24v fitted for radio (FFR). I called the nearby army base in Upper Hutt, north of Wellington and asked for a wiring diagram (I shorted out 2 12v 400a/h batteries in series and burnt-out the wring loom. Oooops!). And sure enough they willingly supplied it. I had it laminated. I wished I kept it.
Thanks for the nerdery. Awesome info and good to come along for the journey. Hoping to do a haltech in the future so the more information the better, thanks!
I was on the same boat. I swapped my Fiat Panda 100hp engine with an Abarth 500 turbo engine and I ended up using the Abarth ECU. Then finding the diagrams were tough but managed to find it and wire up the car myself. Now I have come up with a conversion adapter which works like a treat ;)
I really needed a video like this to motivate me to finish my impreza, was going to wire in a speedy, got it all wired up, and it wouldn't power on. I just gave up, I got a motorbike by chance and haven't wanted to fix it, until now
I love when you get nerdy and show us how to. Most of us probably won't go that far, but it's nice to know we can if we want. Also, I am anxiously wait for my Cheryl's Big Box w lucky dip! Love the show and the other show (that hasn't been out in a while). Happy to send some $ your way to keep the hits rolling!
As amazing a resource as the global internet is, it is also a giant (mostly) unsorted mess. Sometimes the old fashioned way is the best and most efficient; great job turning up the wiring diagrams you needed.
Great video, i'm currently learning about ECUs CAN/FlexRay etc, and it's great that you provide us with alot of knowledge around the ECU side of cars. A lot of good information. Another great video as always!
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!
Great job Marty! After being stuck on wiring up my Glanza gauge cluster in my Starlet for a week, I can't imagine tackling wiring an entire car like this. Looking forward to the aestetics!
This is mad, I love it how it just came together " I reached out a friend in japan." Bing Bang boom. Spaghetti under the seat and "wHoOoOo pssh" can't wait to see you dyno it. 👏👏☺️
Love ECU and wiring videos. Keep them coming! Maybe consider setting up traction and or launch control... and doing a before and after test. Bring the Nerdiness 100%
Great well done video . Love the channel watch every one. Coming from US I'm a V8 non turbo guy. But how you guy put things together wows me every time.
Would love to see you guys get a Focus ST225/XR5 and do the MCM treatment to it. Bit of front wheel madness. Or try a four wheel drive conversion with it. ✌🏼❤
Definitely appreciate the nerdery!!! You're sharing of information and you're victories and failures give me faith that I can one day dive into the "spaghetti " and come out unscathed. Keep up the great work guys!
You guys always amaze with your skill growth.👍 Top mate in Japan, but great blokes have great mates. I'm not sure if it's the car stuff or mateship that has me hooked, but I'm lov'n it.

Hurley think what you guys done with that truck is really cool👍😎
awesome job marty!
Hey Marty . Now that you have a translated wiring diagram maybe put up a link to make it available for anyone that may need it 👍
I shouldn't hope this... But god I hope moog got a kei van.... I really do.
Let’s get a round of applause for Rob getting the info and translating all of it. What a legend
Second this.
Rob well done
Rob is the real MVP! (and of course the Haltech legends.)
Oh, then there's Google Lens.
@@twinshock175 it’s no good for kanji, I’ve got some stickers I tried to translate, it had no idea 🤣
Massive respect for your friend over in Japan Marty, good to have mates that can really help you in a bind.

As well as for the dealership that gave them that information! While many industries are making it harder to work on your own belongings, this dealership seems to have been happy to help!

Agreed. Had a "buddy" that once told me that I was at the beginning of a project and to call him when I'm closer to finishing it. I haven't talked to him since I don't know when...
Watching Marty throughout the years you can see how far along his skills have come. Keep up the good work sir!
Facts same for Moog
Their skills changed, Them themselves didn't at all. Still the old moog and Marty. That's what I love about these dudes
I just got here (like last month) it’s a trip to see these boys cover all the topics mostly for my jmd mad ideas aga
They have come a long way from the start, lots of knowledge gained along the way! And yes pretty much the same people
Watching Marty geek is enjoyable but there's something missing without Moog's barefoot wrenching and trouser hand shaking.
I come here for the unusualness of the mod topics on this channel, and I love it
holy cow, Rob is an incredible friend for doing all that!
@SALES wtf is this comment lmao
Gets home from work, sits at PC, sees an MCM notification 1 minute ago. Life is blessed :o
About to head out the door to work, mcm notification appears. Life sucks :-(
@@leonkernan Sorry to hear that, it's 11pm for me right now (uk) and I finished at just gone 10 :S
Walks in bathroom, sits down, sees mcm posted, well this gonna take longer than thought....
@@user-neo71665 Been there done that 😁
Hell yeah. This bus ride will be great. I just love how they just went "Oh well just slap a spoolie boi on a ktruck"
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
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.
Those are the friends you want. Willing to do the difficult stuff to make your life so much easier. Mad respect to him 💪🏻
Marty, I really appreciate the depth you're going into with the install of the ECU. Stimulating and enjoyable to watch A++
Martin: …you bought something
Moog: awkward squirming moves
another K car maybe?
@@vampirwrr that would be cool 👍
@@vampirwrr Moog is the kind of guy who would show up in a Bosozoku K car mini van.

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

good shit marty love ya work
Can we just appreciate the Daihatsu dealer for just giving the pinouts and Rob for translating everything? Champs!
Thank you for using parts made right here in Kentucky! I am certain that the workers of Kentucky appreciate it!
Great job Marty. Cant wait to see Scotty climb into that little cab :) and get things on point.
lol, i can totally see him just chilling in the truckbed with his Laptop
Great to see people all over help each other, for the love of cars! (and Kei trucks) nice one gents!
Eeeaasily one of the coolest builds in Australia right now!
Rob seriously is a damn sweet guy. Massive shoutouts to him.
I absolutely stayed for all the nerdery i get very excited when i see you guys have posted a new video
These kind of videos always blow my mind how talented and knowledgeable Marty is about cars
Love the nerdery! Will we get to see similar for the turbo postie, can’t wait to see how that works
I love the nerdery too. It's such a nice change of pace sometimes.
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...
Man, you have done a truly great job with that wiring Martin!
Thank you mighty car mods for not only the entertainment but the knowledge and insparation .
So rad! Love the nerdy stuff and cannot wait for the next update
Love the nerdy videos with Marty and watching him geek out wiring up a ecu for and gaining more knowledge. Hope I can get to that knowledge one day.
When you get into bed, open TH-cam and see MCM have posted a new video ❤️❤️😍😍
I don't know how people have the patience for pin outs and body work man. Hats off to you guys that do this stuff yourself!
All the beep boops from down under! ♥️
I spent 14 years in the 🇺🇸 military hunting down information...simular to what you got😎. I applaud you for Not giving up! 👍🏼
Does this beast see any actual work or is it a daily? I wonder if Moog is going to engine swap /turbo his Jimny
Both!
There was an episode where it did a days work as a tipper with Keith Urban
@@mightycarmods Both an engine swap and a turbo on the Jimny? Awesome!
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.

The 2nd coolest kei truck on the internet. (Hoonigan built the 13b kei truck with the 1 of 1 body kit)
Sick work guys🤙
Now here's the big question: Will you be posting that diagram online for others who may be interested in undertaking a similar venture?
I love the little Kei Tipper! It's strange how rarer vehicles can just stand out as so cool and interesting. I am a Subaru fan, had WRX classics, Sports variations etc, but actually currently run a Subaru Brat (or Brumby to you guys). Over here in the UK it's just... Cool and Different!

That aluminum bung weld was top notch. Never breaking loose.
Hats off to the the dude that did all the translating for you.
I admire your Nerdery Martin. I could never do it but it’s great that you can and did. Bravo.
Side mount intercooler is really cool but I'd say chop up a under slung battery tray to cover it "side" on but this is such a awesome project.
What a beast!!! A pure road burning 🔥 mega monster 👺!!! LoL
I can’t tell you how impressive it is to watch, how much you have done to something so little, to accomplish so much, with such turbo technology.
Incredible. Cheers.
Thats awesome you can do all that by yourself, with some help from your mate of course, but it inspires me that i could do my own upgrades to my fiesta st. Thanks Martin and Moog, for all you do
Love the nerdy technical stuff. Can’t wait to put an aftermarket ECU on something. Anything!
Love this project. This small stuff is awesome and so attainable for many of us with limited budget.
Four minutes in and that schematic has already given me a headache. Mad props to you Marty, you're the man!
Yup, getting hold of a wiring diagram saves you a good few days doing a continuity check on all the engine sensors and the ECU plugs. I've done that a few times and it's an arse of a job 😉
Talking about getting a pinout/wiring diagram, well done for getting one in Kanji (Translated). I worked for Honda in the UK in the 90's and all their PC's BIOS that drove various machines were in Kanji. Try reconfiguring a failed PS/2 that is in Kanji!! That was fun. But in terms of getting a pinout/wiring diagram my best experience was in New Zealand when I "restored" an ex-military Landrover 109 V8 24v fitted for radio (FFR). I called the nearby army base in Upper Hutt, north of Wellington and asked for a wiring diagram (I shorted out 2 12v 400a/h batteries in series and burnt-out the wring loom. Oooops!). And sure enough they willingly supplied it. I had it laminated. I wished I kept it.
Thanks for the nerdery. Awesome info and good to come along for the journey. Hoping to do a haltech in the future so the more information the better, thanks!
Always a good time to get nerdy! The results are so worth it! 😁🤙
I'm always here for the nerdery. Big props for the patience required to figure out every single bloody wire of a loom
I was on the same boat. I swapped my Fiat Panda 100hp engine with an Abarth 500 turbo engine and I ended up using the Abarth ECU.
Then finding the diagrams were tough but managed to find it and wire up the car myself.
Now I have come up with a conversion adapter which works like a treat ;)
I also love the “nerdy” rabbit holes...there nothing quite like the feeling of successfully completing it.
My head hurts looking at all them wires man fair play for tackling something like this 🙌
I really needed a video like this to motivate me to finish my impreza, was going to wire in a speedy, got it all wired up, and it wouldn't power on. I just gave up, I got a motorbike by chance and haven't wanted to fix it, until now
Love the nerdiness Marty. Keep it up. Videos like this will help me understand my TT141 1UZ-FE build

As amazing a resource as the global internet is, it is also a giant (mostly) unsorted mess. Sometimes the old fashioned way is the best and most efficient; great job turning up the wiring diagrams you needed.
