Love to see all your projects being done right and over the top detailed.
I come across Austin's channel after watching his brother Camerons channel,,,,, he does the same kinda thing but with MotoX bikes,,, wanna see over the top ??? check his channel out,, but I guess seeing both channels over the top runs in the Niemela family haha
Going to the "head shop" had a whole different meaning back in my day !😉😆 and they always got my head right !
We need addresses of these places 😂💀
Very detailed tear-down. I may never need to tear down a VW TDI head, but I still enjoy the hell out of your vids.
Austin, good thing you decided to take the head off, me I always figure you come this far might as well go all the way and make sure everything is ok.
Really looking forward to the completion of this project. Love watching you tackle problems head on and then making the right decisions, next time you want to flush out the block, use white vinegar and let it sit, does a real nice job of breaking down the crud inside the block. great job as always. 👍👍👍
I like the VW motor swap! The VW diesels are great motors, all of them! Reliable, great hp numbers and great torque numbers for the money. Also easy to work on and parts are very reasonable. Another great video sir, love the thorough nature of your builds! 2👍🏽 and a double 🤙🏽!
Thank you! Yeah I do love the vw diesels!!
For oil pans or other places I want a nearly permanent seal that I don't want to leak, I use Ford TA-31 or International T-442 sealant. It's used on 7.3, 6.0 and 6.4 Powerstrokes for the oil pan and other points on the motor. It's formulated to prevent the degradation of anti-foaming agents in the oil. When you open the tube, the stuff smells like rubber.
Feels good to see how enthusiastic you are about "vee-dubs" 😄 Im a mechanic in sweden so its nice to see someone overseas doing stuff to the same type of engines i work on every day instead of all of those 2jz and LS engines everybody else on youtube is working on 😄
Deciding to do the head, probably will pay off in the long run. Keep creating this awesome content Austin.
Keeps me coming back
Love this build!! I've been thinking about TDI swapping my 3rd gen 4runner myself but it's really overwhelming, after watching these videos it's giving me some confidence. Cant wait to see the finished project!! Look forward to your next video, you and your brother make great content!
Thanks man!!
Clean job as always
Man, I really appreciate watching all the smaller steps of a TDI swap.
Must underrated channel on UA-cam!
Nice video again, looking forward to the installation into the truck!
You should do swaps for a living!
The torque this motor makes is way more drivable than any Toyota gas engine
Someone gets it 👍👍
Small but mighty
Obviously, it would.
Bumper build time while you wait for the head to be done
Video editing always on point and idk how but you literally always have the sickest beats in all of your videos. Keep it coming man 👊🏼💪🏻
Thank you man!!
I’m Not a VW hater just a Toyota lover!
You have inspired me to diesel upgrade my Hilux. I’m bidding on some 2019/2020 Hilux’s to do a running gear swap into my 2003 Hilux. Looking like about 15k for the wreck but that way you get everything I need! Then I can sell the shell and sundry parts including my TD engine and box!
I Absolutely love this build! Can you do an in-depth video of putting it back together? I have a BEW tdi I need to do the cam on and I've been nervous to do it myself. lol
For sure will do!
Maybe you could replace the crankshaft seal on the clutch side, the water pump and send the injectors to be checked, just saying... Your job is amazing!
good work as always, those bolts that were torqued and followed by 1/4 turn at 9:48 should be replaced.. looking forward to see the adaptor plate install
Yes those were new bolts
*Hi Austin, I'm from Russia, but I really enjoy watching your channel. I wish you good luck and a great development of your channel!*
Thank you!!!
I can't wait to see how this turns out. I would love to do a diesel swap in my Tacoma.
But I don't know how. Or have the money to do it lol. Great to watch.
Have you considered buying an ultrasonic cleaner? I've got one thats big enough to fit that head in it, it only cost $250 from amazon. Its been SUPER handy, if you clean off 90% of gunk, it gets the last 10% which as you know is always the hardest. Its cleaning the parts for the locking hubs for my samurai as I type. The parts come out looking just as good if not better than any machine shop with a hot tank can do.
Enjoy every show. Won't hate on the VW swap great motor. I am always just hoping for a V8 swap from like a Sequoia or Tundra... probably doesn't fit ? Honestly don't know if or how.... but it would be interesting. A V8 in a Taco.. ? Many years ago V8's were dropped in the Chevy LUV, and the S10. So, why not a Toyota V8 swap... great reliable motor. Could be one of your next projects.... Also curious to see if you paint match and keep the topper on it. I like them, but oddly you young guys don't lol. Also be fun to see how much lift your going to do... again be fun to get it up in the air a little more than mild... If you leave the topper on it. A nice custom fabricated exoskeleton roof rack would be fun.... ahh one thing at a time... it's coming along good 👍
A guy put a Turboed LS in a Taco on UA-cam

But I must say, although there isn't a replacement for displacement, the turbo diesal sounds sweet!
Great work! I always wish toyota had a factory diesal option for the tacomas, i know in other countries the hilux has a diesal option.
Well i owe you an apology about that VW motor your using.
I read up on it and from was has been written about it it sounds like a solid engine!
I am sort of one eyed with the Toyota brand and i don't apologise for being a purist in that regard.
I enjoy the videos you put out .
Straight forward and easy to understand.
Cheers from Sydney Australia MATE!
🇦🇺🐨🦘🍺🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks! I do love toyota powerplants but the TDI is a great motor, easy to get parts for and makes great power!
Toyota FIPG, (form in place gasket). I have the Jeep guys coming in all the time buying the stuff from our parts department.
Are you going to use the stock tranny and xfer case? I happen to have a 4X Innovation Tacoma Super Duty Mount if you are using the stock setup behind the engine. I was going to use it but it is a little too " Super Duty" for my stock truck so I got a new stock one to go back in. The SD mount has polyeurothane bushings and uses thicker steel than stock. It is a nice mount but not for me. It has about 5 miles on it before I parked the truck and waited for the other bushing to come in and did that job yesterday. Let me know if you need it and I am sure we could work something out. Keep the videos coming!
Thanks! I’m sure that mount will be much too stiff for a diesel!
@@austinniemela
Yeah, I guess you're right about that. If you know anyone that needs a mount for their rock crawler let me know. I guess that I could try and find some rubber bushings that fit and press them in. That will be a down the road project unless someone wants it. Thanks man.
Best videos on UA-cam. Incredible work.
Always good work and good video, Thank you!!
Do it right the 1st time! Solid!
Felicitaciones es un excelente trabajo admiro sus resultados, I had discover your channel and I think it's amazing, salutes from Costa Rica
White tshirt and black oil...highly risky and goes together like smoking while fueling up Haha! Cheers for another great video!
Great 💡 stop working double!!!!!👌👌👍
Did you have to use a different dipstick since it's a different oil pan? I'm doing the same swap just my engine is going into a 95 4runner
Yep another great vid 👍
You should replace the Camshaft with a billet cam while you got it apart. Just a suggestion.
I always enjoy watching your videos..
you let the magic out of the engine...lol im sidetracked from my bhw swap but youre hitting all the right steps with the bhw engine. might as well get some better nozzles, pd150 intake. and colt stage 2 cam while youre in there and a gtb2060vklr turbo. curious to see the exhaust routing when its done. are you doing your own harness?
Yes i am doing my own harness!
@@austinniemela do an in depth video on that. No editing, just straight video.
nice work buddy
100k so close!
Dang that sucks about the leaky valve stem seal. Good catch thou. Now the head will fixed with new seals, cam bearings and head gasket. What size turbo will you be running?
What you use is so strong . put so much. Oil Ban If it's plastic, it's broken if you want to take it off.
I'd like to learn mechanic as a hobby, seems great
The infamous head gasket lol
Which kit is this oil pump delete. Brm or ahl? Where did you buy it
hows your eletric fan holding up with the little sensor that goes in the rad fins looking into doing it soon nice work !
It has been working great actually!
@@austinniemela that's awesome do u still have the link for the probe u used? I think I'm gonna use the old Ford fan too if I can find one
won't 1000 grit be too fine of an RA for the block? when i did mine i found a chart that matches the specified RA for the engine/head gasket material with sandpaper grit
I’m not trying to sand really, just trying to clean it up
What was the part number for the oil pan you used? The link doesn’t work anymore
This video went by so fast!
👏👏👏👏
That head looked more complicated than I'm used to EJ25, 4G63, 3SGE, not a diesel engine guy yet
👍
👍👍👍
Would love to see an early 2nd gen Tacoma with. 4.7 V8 swap!
I love your videos!
Thank you!
Well I guess you got knuckle deep in this one.
Too much work involved to have it smoke every time you start it up. It sucks to have to do the valve seal, but if you didn't, it would drive you nuts and ruin the whole experience. Good call.
Did you ever consider doing a Mercedes 3.0 swap? Or is that more challenging than the Jetta swap? Learning a lot from your videos thanks!
Gonna go bigger cam?
hello
PD diesel,
use a block for ALH setup with bigger burbo and intake , PD is way too expensive
How much power will that have in comparison with the Toyota V6 it had? Can you get a bigger turbo? I know people swap the 3L Mercedes diesel in. I would think you could get more power from one of those.
Yes I have a big turbo for it. Should be 220hp and 400tq or so if I had to guess
the stock passat had 15 less hp and 20 more tq than a stock 3vze (not this 3.4L toyota) but a simple tune from Malone jumps the passat up 25% easily with no mods
Try out Honda bond it works great.
From where did you order your adaptor plate? I plan to get the one for my Ranger from TDConversions.
I am going through NWfabworks for the adapter
Good
I like job mechanic sir austin
good
Another big redo
Did anyone ever start a go fund me to get this guy a lift? If so I would like to donate. Lmk please
Hello brother my truck its leakaging oil on truble ,what is sources? Please ur help
Your this far on the cam. I would replace it with a colt stage 2 or if you get your machine shop guy to do some milling then go stage 3. The cam will wear out and you will have to tear it back down.
What I would not give to work on just one project with you
Uh oh... Facial hair. No date night!!
The Famous Rabbit HOLE
How can you help me😣😣am interested with this job but I do not have sam sapot
Not haten on the VW just a purist, ford with Ford, Chevy with Chevy, toy with toy and so on. Sorry I was one of them that posted in past videos about putting Toyota diesel in, again just a purist.
Porque te decidiste por este Motor ?
fiabilidad, los torques, eficiencia de combustible
Sufiente torque para esa Tacoma?
más que tacoma v6. Especialmente con turbo más grande 👍
Que Vw trae ese motor?
El Caddy? O la Amarok?
@@gosth81 Passat que es como una Berlina. Supongo que con el turbo sería suficiente.
Bro hit me up on my offer would love to come out there and give you a hand
Who tf disliked this!?
His brother lol
You needa be going in a cross pattern when torquing your shit down, makes me cringe every time
👍
