Hey everyone,

I’m in the process of converting a car from rb20e to rb20det, now, what can be used on the original loom? The rb20det loom isn’t complete as the motor and box didn’t come from a half cut.

Can the DE loom be spliced some how? So it all works, or am I going to have to look for a complete rb20det loom and just swap it over?

Any help would be much appreciated. The standard ECU will be used to get the car up and mobile, then an after market item will be used

joshwa.. do you have a diagram of the rb20e wiring, or at least ecu pinout ? if so I can tell you what the differences are. To be honest I can't think of too much that would be different.. its not like the turbo has any wiring coming off it.

I have the complete RB20det wiring diagrams, so if you could get the rb20e stuff i can have a quick look and compare.

hmm.. I've remembered I already had that..

Here you go. You love me more now. :/

The FPCM (which appears like its not on rb20de) drops the voltage on the fuel pump at idle, but probably isn't mandatory. Thats rigged up near the boot anyhow.

Just rig up the knock sensors - that's pretty much two wires direct to the sensors and a ground off each. I can't see why the rb20de would have them, but in the diagram it doesn't say that they are specific to rb20det.

Everything else looks identical so away you go.

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
