I'm done labeling the wires. Now I need help with the power feed.

1. On my incabin plug I see a Black/White wire. This is the ECCS power relay but I do not see a Red wire(pin 4), which is Ignition power. Does this mean I should only connect the ECCS power relay to the power(Black/White wire) from engine bay plug to incabin plug? And how will the IGN get power?

2. I traced the coil plug wires back and see they go to the smaller incabin plug. I read on other forums that this plug is not used in the swap. Is this true, if not what should be done here?

I have a Series 2 RB25DET.

I double checked the wiring and I saw that I was lokking at the wrong plug. I see there are 8 wires on the coil plug, 6 that go to the ECU and 2 that go to another plug near by. I'm assuming the balc one is the ground and the white one is teh 12V power feed. Should I connect a 12V power to this wire or should I just leave it.

If the ECu gets power will the IGN alo get the 12V power?

very useful :(

plan to do this soon

thankyou

Good wiring guide. After a long time I'm finally done with the swap. We fired the engine up yesterday and everything working fine. Thanks for all the help predator. Just need the wiper to work. Hope someone can help.

Im coming to the stage of doing this conversion as the 3540 has just about done the job on the 2.0ltr but have been told as i have a power fc i can still use that and the 2.0 ltr loom can anyone confirm or deny this?

hey all just wondering if anyone can help me out?

ive got ap engineering pfc for my 20det which is in my 32 now i want to put a rb25det in and was wondering if i can use my rb20 loom?

ill be running top feed injectors and wont be running vct

will this work?

cheers

Have done the same thing as i've got a rb20 powerfc and have the car starting fine, just switched across all rb20 sensors, igniters cas etc and used the rb20 loom, i've even changed the injector plugs so i can use the rb25 side feeds since impedance is the same. My only issue is with aac valve, as far as i can see the rb20 has only one 2 pin plug for the solenoid (yellow) while the rb25 aac has the browny/red plug on one solenoid and a purple one the another.

What plug on the rb20 loom corresponds with the purple and red/browny plugs? Am i missing something obvious? I'm sure this info would help anyone else attempting to use the rb20 loom and ecu to run the rb25. As currently my car idles fine until it warms up but then hunts at idle wildly once warm. I wired the yellow plug to the browny red and none to the purple, unplugging the aac changes nothing so i'm assuming i've wired it in correctly.

Anyone guys?..

I just dont want to be causing damage to the eninge..

Hi, If the car was an Auto Originally, Go to the drivers side kick panel, remove and you will se the Auto Computer, Remove the plug and put kick panel back. Over fueling at idle and at high reaves is the auto enriching system. That will help, to finnish it off put a Re Mapped Chip in your ECU and a waste spark system in fixing the over fueling proplem and adding more than 30kw of power, Have fun Jamind

The purple one is the FCID plug, which is not needed if you don't have airco.

I'm also doing this conversion, placing a RB25DET S2 into my R32 GTS-T.

It's coming along fine and I haven't had any real problems yet.

I'm using a RB20DET engine loom and modifying it to work with the RB25DET. I'm going to take the complete loom for the injectors out of the RB25 loom and put it in the RB20 loom. (So I can keep the plug that connects all six injectors in one plug.)

My question is, where is the best place to get the 12V power feed for the injectors?

From what ive found out through research is easiest way is to swap all the sensors out on the engine to the 20 ones and run the 20 loom with a nistune. Then you will only need to set up a vct controller which is pretty easy.

I have this same conversion in a r32 gts-4. Only thing is can't get it started. There is spark and there is fuel supply and it ignites every full rotation or so but not enough to get it running. Could this be something to do with point 1. In the very first post. Can you please explain it a little clearer?

I had to reverse the cam sensor wiring to get signal from the cam to the injectors and coils.

Thanks,

Ariel

I frequently get asked if I still do conversion looms for RB motors in R32's and the simple answer is yes. I don't get as much free time these days but I still enjoy doing it when the opportunity arises. Please contact me via PM if this is of interest to you.

have an r32 four door with series1 rb25, we used pred's guide and the wiring diagram done by the SAU member that makes 25 converion looms, question is when the car is powered the fuel pump primes starter cranks, should there be a light in the ecu? engine was out of an auto 33 but loom and ecu is from manual 33

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
