The methodical approach to troubleshooting is commendable. It’s these actions and attention to detail that explain why your builds are addicting to watch.

Austin, just like you said (sometimes you got to take a step back and breath"). It's like a guy troubleshoots in his dreams while he is sleeping. I also had some breakthroughs to tough problems the very next morning. Also, I am really jazzed about the progress of this Tacoma build.
Great job working out these issues and explaining everything. I like to use the zoom on the iPhone to look at tiny things like that resistor. Another fantastic video from my favorite builder!
Lol... kind of ironic that you were advising us on a good ground for the starter and your temp gauge issue ended up being a ground 😆 Great to see this build coming along and the idea coming to life. Going to be a great all around truck for years! Hopefully the laggy boost issue is just in the fuel/tune. Turning up the fuel a bit might get the turbo to spool a little quicker...
I am hooked. Your ability to focus on the issue until it's resolved is commendable. I have been watching your truck videos because I have a 1998 SSR-X Hilux Surf I want to modify so these videos are inspirational. Keep them coming.
Love to see the project coming together, even the issue with the temp gauge is great content , love how u end up figuring it out , man the way u said this thing should be making 30 pounds thats a boost adict right there lol , keep it up that thing looks like a great built , PD's are awesome
NW may have boned the adapter, but they made it right with decent customer service. When you're dealing with custom parts in small production, sometimes mistakes happen. On the gauge, the ground off made sense, most gauges use two coils that work against each other to move the needle, only one coil was working so the gauge pegged. I think the one component on the gauge board is a diode (looked like orange/brown glass with a black stripe in the video.)
As a fellow TDI diesel swap builder, I can say that Northwest Fab has the NICEST adapters available. Better built than the others for a few reasons. They are clockable, and adapt off the shelf parts. the other companies i've used require modification to stuff like flywheels and crankshafts. That has a lot of drawbacks. stock parts are easy to get, custom ones are not. If I had the room for it in my rig, I would have used the Northwest adapter rather than the ACME, and still might when I decided to go with a toyota drivetrain.
What happened to the steering wheel? That thing is bent, good to see it on the road. Will that be your new daily? Can't wait to see what else you are going to do to it.
A buddy of mine used to put thread sealant tape on his temp sensor for sealing but then would lightly file the tape to expose the tip of the thread for ground.
That 'resistor' without any color bands ain't a resistor, its a diode. Your meter probably has a diode tester built in as well. A diode is like a check valve for electricity - it only let current flow in one direction.
It’s always the small things that cause the most frustration. I remember you having issues with the tac? I see it’s still not working, is that a programming issue?
With this being a daily driver I’m really hoping you do a clean’er’ tune. Nothing crazy and run smaller rims and tires and make this thing a good run around great mpg rig. Just because gas is ridiculously priced and it would be cool to see what you could get on doing a sick swap like this.

agreed!
So glad to see it running!
You've been working hard on this truck and it's paying off.
I'd LOVE to do a diesel swap on my 2012 Tacoma.
Just got to say this is the first time someone has shared there knowledge and wiring diagrams that I have not seen anywhere has help me a lot a gave the confidence to carry out my conversion total top bloke and I wish others would follow your lead man top dude 👍👍🏴
Awesome I’m glad I can help!!
Absolute legend man 👊
Watching you build this truck really showed me how much more I need to learn about cars/trucks.
Austin, just like you said (sometimes you got to take a step back and breath"). It's like a guy troubleshoots in his dreams while he is sleeping. I also had some breakthroughs to tough problems the very next morning. Also, I am really jazzed about the progress of this Tacoma build.
So,so true about just walking away from the problem. Always simpler when you "sleep on it" .
Yes!!!
4:52 wow, that was the quickest and cleanest start up I’ve ever heard
That was very fast and smooth
You have so much patience man. I admire your ability to troubleshoot things like that temp gauge

Thanks man I can’t wait till it’s building full boost! It should rip!!
Wow, 5 long months and here we are
Happy to see it alive
Well done
A great milestone.. I’m keen to see your plans for this vehicle evolve
I've never seen a diesel fire that fast unreal !!!! badass truck
Thanks bud! Yea this thing fires off quick!
glad to see it running
Got to love those double Niemela nights
Lets go ❤

Yes these are awesome adapters!!
the "resistor" you couldn't figure looks like a diode.
You are right Jason. The third one that looks like it is made of glass is a diode, not a resistor.
Yeah it is definitely a diode.
Ah makes sense!!
IDK...Doomsday diesel seems to be the go to for the adapter plates. Can't say I have ever heard a bad thing about them
Que sound is awesome
What happened to the steering wheel? That thing is bent, good to see it on the road. Will that be your new daily? Can't wait to see what else you are going to do to it.
Yes this will be my daily! I dont know whats up with the wheel haha its pretty bent!
A buddy of mine used to put thread sealant tape on his temp sensor for sealing but then would lightly file the tape to expose the tip of the thread for ground.
Wow. After the starter install it sure was hard to start!, LOL! Man that truck is fine.
Talented brothers.
Man I gotta say listening to that engine pulling out of the garage. That things sounds SWEET!!!
Great job dude! I know you’ve gotta be feeling stoked 👍🏼
Much love from a few miles away in Spokane.
The perfect midsized truck, the Tacoma diesel!
You got skillz bro!! Sounds awesome...lift, paint next?
I learn something new every video. 👍🏻👍🏻
Glad to hear it!
Good job on running down that grd on the temp ga, can be a real head scratcher.
Great job bud im sure you will work out the bugs!!
Good to see it running 👍
Thanks 👍
That 'resistor' without any color bands ain't a resistor, its a diode. Your meter probably has a diode tester built in as well. A diode is like a check valve for electricity - it only let current flow in one direction.
That's what i thought. A zener diode.
Boy nothing rattles your cage. I would’ve been freakin about that gauge
Drive the front on ramps to help purge the coolant system.
You should've put in a 7.3l IDI International.
Nice man. I ripped my vw diesel out if my samurai to do a 3.4 yota swap should be cool
Very happy!
Good project I have 2003 Toyota Tacoma the same like you I wanted to make standard what you recommended???
It's alive..... I'm sorry but only can give you only one like. Great work
Top Video , keep it up !
You are doing a great Job !
Greeting from Germany
Very good I'll you can figure out the rest, and I like your truck, later
It’s always the small things that cause the most frustration. I remember you having issues with the tac? I see it’s still not working, is that a programming issue?
I have a new converter on the way for the tach, that should be resolved!
That little horse shoe looking deal!! ah ah!!!
Wow awesome video! Did you ever consider installing the Toyota/Lexus 2AD-FHV 2.2l Turbodiesel instead of a VW Tdi?
The weird looking little resistor is actually a zener diode.
Yeah Dude, so satisfying! Congrats!
The small component you couldn't read looks like a diode instead of a resistor
Haha you say your not really good at electronics, then begins to be Einstein/Tesla in electronics! Love ya work mate!
You are amazing!!! Nice work
This thing is so sweet 😎
Those glow plugs needed to be shipped in a bigger box ... 🤣😂
Haha tell me about it!
Nice nice job austin
Great work! RPM not working?
I’m sure it was said in the commits or in another video but what drive train set up do you have?
Engine , trans and transfer case
Thanks :)
Yo Austin flair them fenders my guy ... and go chuncky wheeles on it ❤
Great job, I need a friend like you …..
Awesome man, nice job!
With this being a daily driver I’m really hoping you do a clean’er’ tune. Nothing crazy and run smaller rims and tires and make this thing a good run around great mpg rig. Just because gas is ridiculously priced and it would be cool to see what you could get on doing a sick swap like this.
Wondering if your lagging tachometer is due to a ground issue as well.
Dude nicely done!
Thank you brother!!
Another Awesome video Austin👍🏻🥳🎃👻😉
Have you weighed this yet? Thinking about putting a PD TDI in my F150, but its about 4800 pounds on the scale...
what kind of MPG's are you getting?
Great info great vid 👍🏽
Thanks! 👍
What tuning/ tuner do you recommend for TDI
Nice job
i'de plug those a/c compressor hose ports with some tape if you're going to use that compressor again
They are plugged!! 👍
Nice work!!!
Great job brotha!
Awesome work and skills. How much will you be selling it for?
I’m keeping this one!
Hey do you happen to have a parts list made up for your build?
What are the projected hp/torque numbers going to be? very inspiring build
I’m really not sure! I’m sure it should be better than 200hp and 380tq or so
@@austinniemela next time you are on the phone with Malone ask them what they project with your build components, I know I would appreciate the info.
Austin- Is the "sensing end" of the Sensor touching anything inside the coolant passageway?
Guess not...
The temp gauge issue may be in the cluster
SICK
That temp sensor is incompatible for the truck . 11:20
Any plans for a solid axle swap?
Not this truck!
how's the shoulder coming along?
Feeling pretty solid!
Did I miss why the tach isn’t working?
Im waiting for a converter for the tach
Sweet!!!!
👍👍
Kickass 👊
What are your RPMs at 60mph?
I guess I didn’t pay attention! I’m not sure!
Nice!!!
Hi Austin wondering if you could help me out with some motor mounts! Sent you a Facebook message about possibly buying a set from you.
Hey man i want to buy it hit me up when you get ready to sell it
👍🏽👍🏽
Pleace fit my tacoma99 you are the best
👍👍👍👍
