Step By Step TDI Swap - Part 7 : Electrical Wiring

- This time on part 7 of the step by step TDI swap, we're diving in to the dreaded electrical wiring. If you can spare the cheddar, a harness from Fast Forward Automotive takes a TON of the guesswork and time out of this portion. You're going to need to plumb in your factory Jeep coolant temperature sensor and oil pressure sensor for those gauges to work, but otherwise everything else is cake. I also took this opportunity to upgrade to some Mean Lemons 2 Gauge battery cables to ensure the high torque starter would have the juice it needs. Let's get into it!

TDI to prosty silnik elektrycznie w Europie bynajmniej w polsce gdzie 70% ludzi ma VW, każdy podrzędny warsztacik ma VW w jednym palcu.Na mój gust to taki swap szału nie robi
as someone who has owned both an XJ and a manual 03 TDI, I'm a big fan of this project !
I'd never do a swap like this, but damn this has been super interesting to watch.
Thanks for the feedback!
Hi just wanted to thank you for the great videos. I’m definitely a fan of yours now. ☺️
Thank you!
Bravo excellent good video content 👏 👌 👍
can you do an update for the driving manners compared to stock 4.0 and overall review of the new engine in the XJ for daily/off-road use?
Yeah a video with nothing but on and offroad driving would be great
Bump
yes a follow up of the long term review would be awesome, along with real world MPG and performance.@@justinholm1130
Your knowledge of doing this swap is amazing. I am not looking for a freebee, I have a 1987 Chevrolet S10 Blazer Tahoe 4X4, 2.8V6, TH700R4 trans. It was from an estate sale. I got it with the original title from the original deceased owner. It Has 62K garage kept senior citizen actual miles. it looks like it was never sat in, under the hood it looks like it is still on the showroom floor. The original 2.8V6 runs perfect but it is probably slower than most riding mowers. My wifes 4-CYL Hyundai Tucson will run circles around it. I am not looking for a race car, just one that can keep up with traffic. DCS (Diesel Conversion Specialist's) makes a complete bolt on adaptor kit for the TH700R4 (adaptor plate, fly wheel, starter and all the nuts and bolts) for a VW1.9TDI. All it would need to complete the swap is adapting the accessories and motor mounts. I want a mildly built 1.9TDI (larger turbo, injectors, cam and possibly some mild head work) swapped in it. So more HP, TQ and fuel economy. My S10 is a great looking garage queen so I really do not drive it much. Would you (for a fee) be willing to do the swap for me. cliff70chevy@gmail.com
Amigo me me gusta como te quedó la adaptación
Trying to see if this swap will also work with my 2006 jetta tdi engine since I already own both cars but idk if it’s the same 1.9 L engine you used
Howdy, I’m doing a bhw tdi into a Jeep tj. I was wondering if you wired in your own check engine light from the vw ecu?
I completed a 1.9 TDI swap out of new beetle 2002. Love my truck. Had issues with adapter plate. A great learning experience. I have an issue the last couple of days. First my break light fuse randomly blows. Then as I reversed and back up the engine shuts off. Now I will be driving down highway and engine will shut off. I have to shut key off and then restart. It takes several revolutions before starting.I have a brake switch logic synchronizer from fastforward and noticed it was getting hot but maybe that because I had post in between my seat and break pedal. I was testing to see what is causing the fuse to blow. Still can't determine. Stumped!
Did you figure it out?
I have the ALH, and the wiring harness. Once I settle on a trans, tcase, and rear axle, its all going in my dead quadratrac CJ7. I'm hoping the dirt simple CJ wiring, a GPS speedo, and fully intact vw harness (including all the dash wiring in one piece) will make it fairly painless.
Unless you are actually looking forward to the wiring aspect I would strongly recommend having fast forward automotive make a harness for you. It makes it a much neater install and saves a ton of time. Talk to David there about your needs and your setup, he’s very responsive and helpful.
Can't say wiring is my favorite evening activity, lol. I took a look at fast forward. The amount of bits and pieces they have is very alluring for sure, especially that cruise control... i saw on their FB page they used to have core harness modification but I guess no longer? Just stand alone that I saw now.
Well, looks like the timing belt will be easier to change! lol
Add your neutral safety wire to the tach switch on the column.
That’s a great idea I should try it!
Sooo I’m swapping a tdi into my 04 mini. I can pretty much use this process for my set up ya?
That really depends, are you keeping it front wheel drive? Would be pretty easy to just leave all the VW drive train for that then, which would allow you to keep the wiring harness the same and basically just copy/paste. That would be really cool!
Did this project die? I don't see a next video 8 months later.
Finally
Is this project complete?
What kind of mpg are you getting now? What kinda range? Any plans for the 30 gallom tank?
Hey Brian, It's been pretty consistently around 28 MPH average. I fill up usually around 450 miles on the tank but I've gone as far as 500. I do not plan to change the tank any time soon.
I'm certainly no electrician. But could you use a relay between the cam signal wire and signal ground that uses the starter control signal to switch closed/open? The example I found online has a 12V 4 pin single pole single through relay, pin out 87 to signal ground, 30 to cam signal wire, 85 to the starter control wire, and 86 to chassis ground. That may not be the correct pin out, but I would think that would work, yeah?
I’ve tried that and it works but not reliably. No idea why the system is finicky like that. What I will likely do eventually to get a consistent working tach with no user input is to make a bracket to drive the old distributor sensor off of the accessory belt
Jon BleepinJeep right on. Figured you’d probably thought of it, but commented just in case.
Does it matter if you press that button before or after starting? And does it trip it up if it’s pressed multiple times? Your solution there is definitely the most correct one, I’m just wondering if you could use the brake light switch instead, like if it has to be pressed before starting but doesn’t mess it up if pressed after starting.
A video about the solution you wrote, maybe even detailing the other things you’ve tried and what you’ve found along the way that didn’t work well would certainly be every bit invaluable as al of the others you’ve made thus far!
Not sure if someone asked this or not but did you use the TDI alternator? If yes, then did you connect the Jeep alternator wires to the Tdi alternator to get the gauge in the cluster to work?
Did you figured it out? am doing the same right now...
@@Auguste88 No I stopped working on it right now as I've been pretty busy. Please let me know if you got it working.
I used the TDI alternator. No wires from the Jeep alternator are connected, as those were just used to excite the Jeep alternator. Your gauge will work just based off the system voltage.
Always good to see another episode of this swap. A few questions as usual.
Any particular reason why you decided to route the relays inside the cabin? I have mine outside, under the hood in my Ranger swap, but now you have me second guessing myself on my decision. Lol
Also I don’t know why I never thought of doubling up inside the wiring loom the long wires provided by fast forward automotive. I’ll have to do that. Good thinking.
Also if you know where to get that plastic ECU slot that attaches to the metal ECU bracket, I would love you forever because I do not at all like my tiedown that’s holding my ECU down to my bracket currently.
I primarily chose to route the relays inside for space, but secondarily for protection. They are water resistant and mounted under hood on the VW. I’m not sure what plastic you’re talking about on the ECU everything holding that in on mine was straight from the donor car.
Alright makes sense. Well the plastic piece is what the ECU slides into. I believe it attaches to the metal ECU bracket. It’s no biggie, I’ll figure something out.
@@RyanWithAviators What transmission did you go with for your swap? i feel like my 5r44e wouldnt be a great fit for it even though they make adaptors
@@willdavidson4252 So I have the M50D-R1 5 speed manual transmission that's stock in the Ranger. If you go with an automatic, it would be fine except you will need to either get a standalone transmission controller or a full manual valve body. The latter choice would mean shifting every time you want your auto to shift. That being said, sometimes the torque multiplication of the torque converter would be nice paired with a TDI.
Minty tdi action
those ECUs generate heat, make sure there is plenty of air circulation and protect them from radiant heat from the exhaust & turbo
They’re on the opposite side as the exhaust, and spaced apart enough to allow plenty of air circulation
i may have missed if you mentioned it but do you know if its possible to setup cruise control? i have a 86 mj im looking to swap and my biggest pet-peeve with that truck is the lack of cruise control and would like to add it if i go through the effort of swapping it.
If the VW ECU wire harness still has the wires for the cruise control then it can work. All the stuff for the cruise control in built into the ECU as the TDI is drive by wire. All thats needed is the cruise on/set/speed up/slow down wired up and a VSS signal to the ECU.
Yes I now have working cruise control. The only thing needed that Tyler didn’t mention are the interrupt switches at the brake/clutch pedals and it is an all 12v system controlled by the VW ECU. It works very well in the Jeep I just had to install buttons on the dash, unfortunately couldn’t use the steering wheel buttons but I have another use for those
@@twalters51 Thanks for the info i appreciate it!
@@DRTJon Cool thanks for the info and reply!
Question what did you do about the hole in the timing cover ? Mine will be subjected to water worried about the hole from the motor mount in the timing cover.
I saw someone fabricate a piece to cover it on another tdi swap somewhere on here. I forgot his name but he used to be on bleepinjeep. He's the guys with the beige tj
I just used some construction flashing tape on my cover
Wish I had time money and place to do this
i didnt notice cruise control set up?
I want do it o sport Trac 2007 is possible?
Is there a security system in the vw computer you have to get around?
Yes, immobilizer must be turned off which can be done by anyone who offers tuning
What trans is used on swap?
Kurt Jensen his swap is a AX15 manual.
VW nie nie nie lepiej coś mocniejszego np. M57 3,0???? 😁
It's a big engine that eats fuel... And people swap it mostly on the nissan patrol... It's a damn good engine and people that swap it mostly do rock climbing and stuff like that and low end torque and lightness is the game here
While the people that put the n57 engine in a off roader and this is just my opinion, they tend to do extreme off road, with big climbinga and hardcore mud and all those things where you mostly need closer to mid range torque and a lot of power to spin the wheels for cleaning...
JUST MY POINT OF VIEW, I MIGHT BE WRONG 🤷♂️
@@sebysebastian7578 nie koniecznie proszę obejrzyj to czcams.com/video/yrZDWsprrWU/video.html
I nie potrzebuje nikogo okłamywać czy oszukiwać tak jest naprawdę
I w myśl zasady mieć i nie użyć niż nie mieć i żałować!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi everybody I think swap dodge caravan2011-2013 year.
1.9tdi. I wish found mechanic who can do it!
Hit me back if you know someone!
Why would you do this swap? Isn't the 4.0 widely renown as one of the greatest engines of all time?
11mpg vs 30. Tons of torque at half the rpm's
Because the 4.0 gets 13 MPG and the TDI gets 40 MPG. And it’s way cooler. lol
@@TyGuyPS5 ahaha have you seen the torque curve on that engine? it drops off at 1800 RPM dummy. You wont get that fuel economy with a Jeep drivetrain and you will never see a return on the $6K+ you spent swapping in an inferior powertrain based on the negligible improvement in MPG. OMEGALUL look at the friggin timing belt, that thing is a piece of trash
Watch Dirt Lifestyle's videos and that will answer a lot of your questions...Also as someone who had a TJ with the 4.0 and 6 speed manual transmission on 33's, it had barely enough power to get out of its own way on any sort of hill or in higher elevations
Joe Garofalo II no point in even having a discussion with someone who talks to people like that.
