There are a few differences, one being the sensor plugs on r32 are round, square on a31. Also the r32 engine has a little more power in stock form. The r32 has factory bov and a31 doesn't. I have heard there is more potential for higher power outputs from the a31 engine, not exactly sure how or why though. Not sure on if the turbos are the same

Edited by Love_Hate

The cefiro inlet cam has a longer duration and the exhaust cam is retarded about 2 deg from the R32 cam.

ceff afm, coilpacks and ignitor are different.

ECU also only has 1 fuel map and 1 timing map as opposed to the skyline. it has 2 fuel and 2 timing maps.

If you look at the 2 maps the skyline runs 3 deg more timing and has different load tp scaling.

thanks for all the replys so with these spitfire plugs can u get spitfire coils that u can just plug in to replace the stock coil packs over coil pack problems?

They are adapters. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...mp;hl=splitfire Seems Splitfire didn't want to manufacture different coilpacks for the same engine. If you could get hold of a R32 coil pack loom and are 1/2 handy with electrics you could easily knock some up yourself.

so that is only for the adaptors then u would have to get ur hands on some 32 coilpacks to plug in them or do u buy the aftermarket ones as shown on the pics below the adapters ?

the turbo is different also, R32 is ball bearing ceffy is plain bearing. also slight differences in the exhaust side.

later ceffys run the rounder R32 style loom plugs, but most are early ones

AFM, coils, CAS and some other sensors are the same as R31 Redtop RB20DET. turbo is also the same as that of a redtop.

loom (bar the plugs), injectors, head is all the same as r32.

while working on my dad's cef (series 1) I found that it had more parts in common mechanically (well, engine and electrics) with the R31 GTSR than it did with the R32 GTSt.

  • 4 months later...

i just found out that my R32 RB20DET engine is being run off a cefiro ECU...

can anyone tell me if this is dangerous for the engine?

i'm trying to track down an R32 ECU, but having no luck so far...

if anyone can help me by answering that question, it would be GREATLY appreciated... :D

    • 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?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
