Engine Swap

[4drlvr]

Hi Guys

Im doing an engine conversion in my car from an Rb25det to an Rb26dett. As per the mechanic the main thing i would require are for the conversion are

Rb26dett engine

GTR ECU

R33 GTR Engine loom

RB26dett rwd sump or rb25det modified sump

R33 GTR Chassic Wiring loom

I agree on the first 4 thing that would be needed but what i dont understand is why in the world would he need a chassic wiring loom. I have done some research on the internet and have called up XSpeed in WA and they have confirmed that I do NOT need the chassic loom because the only thing im changin is the engine so the ECU and Harness is all i would require towards electronics since ecu and loom connect to the engine and is essential for the running.

Can anyone else shed some light on this. Im sorta stuck in the middle where i want to question the mechanic on this but all i get is that he def needs it for the conversion. Im iffy on cross questioning him on this topic but can any let me know if for sure that the car will start and run as per normal if I decide not to get the chassic loom.

Your help asap will be good

You do not need the chassis wiring loom. The conversion can be easily made by simply modifying the RB26 loom with the necessary body loom plugs from the RB25 loom to make it a 'plug'n'play' loom. I have modified several RB25 looms to suit both R32s and a cefiro. I can only guess the mechanic is chasing the chassis loom to make it easier for him to understand the factory wiring. If he has a wiring diagram for the engine loom and pinouts he should be able to wire it up correctly. Its actually not that difficult as Nissan retained a large amount of similarity between the Rb20/25/26 engine management systems.

If I had the time I would offer to modify the RB26 loom for you but unfortunately I don't have any spare time for the next couple of months.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
