Gday guys

I have a few questions bout r32s

in particular how hard is a rb20det swap into a na r32. will it just plug straight up to the standard loom or am i gonna have to buy a det loom to go with the engine?

are the handbrake cable setups any different between turbo and non turbo?

does the r32 turbo dash have any differences in comparison to the non turbo? ie boost guage in the dash cluster ect.

any help is appreciated guys

Do the smart thing and go straight to the RB25 or even an RB30 if you have the money. unless you have an RB20 already then sure it's the best option

Only my 2c anyways :)

I Think he was very specific with saying a rb20 ,

The Complyer isnt going to like finding a rb30/25 in there, and i rather not see the car writen off in compliance , :P

So your 2c is noted and dissmissed.

I would say ( speaking off the top of my head so to speak) that the swap would be easy as long as the NA body has the holes there for cooler, if your going to use a stock set up.

The loom might be a little different, you got a AFM on both cars, oil pressure gauge/sender on the turbo model (not sure if the NA;s have a oil pressure gauge) as well as the boost gauge, as for engine I would say that the differance would be minimal & there are people out there who could do the few sensors for a minimal fee.

I would just go with the NA Dash & run a dash mount boost gauge in a cup...

Just a idea correct me if I am wrong....

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
