  • In today's video we start tacking the realms of wiring! For the Audi Rs3 ECU to talk to the Skodas VRS body we need to change a lot of wiring, p.s it's not easy! But will the car even crank over?

      I tip my hat to these guys. It's amazing the graft they put in, the money they invest, and the knowledge about these cars is off the scale. Really top quality content.

    In my opinion, include EVERYTHING. This is honestly my favorite project on your channel, mainly because of the technical part. The more, the better, even if it might seem boring.

    • @bez750
      @bez750 Před 3 měsíci +2

      I completely agree. To tackle a project like this is awesome. I want to see everything 🤙 he could do a saving salvage 2 channel so we could see the "boring" parts. Like tavarish

    Blimey...you're a brave man!!! That wiring spaghetti looks a nightmare, fare play to you for taking this challenge on. Hopefully it all comes together & you'll have an amazing car as a result.

  • @matthewrees4449
    @matthewrees4449 Před 3 měsíci +7

    This is really quite gripping and the detail is very much part of it. Seeing an engine transplant in near real time is perfect. Keep the technical stuff please Dean.

  • @Dadeets
    @Dadeets Před 3 měsíci +3

    Never for a moment doubted it would crank. You are thorough in every challenge you face well researched and double check everything you do. It’s truly awe inspiring what you single handedly achieve. Amazing stuff Dean.

    As someone who’s watched your channel for a long time now, I can say this is right up there as one of my favourite projects. Your skills keep levelling up too. Fair play Dean, keep up the detailed work on this series. Personally I love it. It’s not boring in my eyes 😂

  • @f1kwa399
    @f1kwa399 Před 3 měsíci +2

    Content just about right, enough for us to grasp what needs to be done to do a swap like this, probably would ask a lot of questions if I was doing the same swap but excellent content from you as usual, thanks, looking forward as always to the next one.

  • @coffeeguy6673
    @coffeeguy6673 Před 3 měsíci

    Deano, you are either mad as a box of frogs or extremely clever, I would opt for the latter ! Hats off to you taking on these incredibly complex challenges !!

  • @andyh1917
    @andyh1917 Před 3 měsíci +4

    Honestly full of respect for you Dean. Not a easy challenge at all. You have more patience than me! Enjoyed that you had a more technical element to this vlog. Going forward, i would say, its always good to show some of those aspects but also agree , you don't want a vlog full of you pondering & thinking. Really chuffed it cranked & can't wait for the next part. All the best 👍🏻

  • @andygjones5524
    @andygjones5524 Před 3 měsíci

    Spot on Dean. This is exactly what I was hoping this video would be. I love content like this, methodically working through a problem. Even though the two engines are both from the VAG stable, I was curious about how much was common or easily adaptable. You answered that for me.

  • @neutonrenda2303
    @neutonrenda2303 Před 3 měsíci

    @don911donny9 Před 3 měsíci

    Great job Dean. Most people avoid anything to do with the electrics but as long as you approach the changes in a logical fashion, starting with a thorough understanding of both systems, then it becomes so much easier and your chances of success are that much greater.

    Just discovered you and this project 2 days ago and i love it.
    For me, i love the electronic and computer side of things on modern engine swaps. Every monkey can hang an engine block in a car of the same or similar modular series. Satisfying the electronics and computer is where the real challenge is.

    @ambitiousautos1064 Před 3 měsíci

    this is definitely the right kind of stuff to include bud, it just goes to show what exactly is involved these days, in the old days you could basically just get another engine banged in and a few slight modifications, and away you go, but in this day and age, there's just so many tiny differences that ends up makeing a huge amount of more work, 👍👍

  • @stephendutton3766
    @stephendutton3766 Před 3 měsíci

    It looks like you are providing the perfect level of detail. It is very interesting and gives clues at least to thr sorts of problems and fault finding you are having to work through, obviously the fact these are an engine which is fairly modern and a fairly modern skoda body/car are making this both easier and more difficult. Easier in the sense you have been able to find useful documentation but more difficult in that there are so many pins/cables, etc. It looks really cool though and the moments of elation are palpable!!

  • @francisrolls6312
    @francisrolls6312 Před 3 měsíci

    I think your videos are great as they are ! I wouldn’t change anything mate 👍 good diagrams good information very easy to understand and useful and interesting to watch.
    I have a Skoda VrS 230 and my mate recommended this channel purely for these episodes.
    But watched a few and was blown away about the vw golf R estate . I even looked into registering onto co part as I want to do my own work, I’m looking at a cayman 2014 or a 997 911 salvage for my first experience not too bad for my first but got experience in bodywork etc already so should be fine. Will be doing it from home tho wich is not great
