hey guys was hoping to accompany the help of u guys to help me find threads that will help me with my rb25det conversion into my r32 gtst. iv found one thread so far but it doesnt really help u just tells u a bit of what needs to be done. if there is a step by step procudeure or detailed description of what needs to be done very grsateful if u could post it up so i can get my conv done asap so i get the driftpig back out of track

thanx guys

Remove RB20.

Drop RB25 in (complete with RB25 engine harness and ecu).

Connect everything.

Drive away.

If you want to do the gearbox aswell, there are many threads in the Drivetrain section in regards to putting 25t gearboxes in R32 GTSt's.

Use the same mounts but use the RB25 engine harness and ECU (ecu obviously but I think the difference between the harness is the injectors wires are the other way round or something like that).

Climate control should be fine, haven't heard otherwise.

If you really wanted to, you could swap the wires to the injectors and run it on the RB20 ECU (as it is easier to remap) but you wouldn't have VVT.

Greg, same *should* apply to your GTS4. Just re-use all the mounts etc, though I'm not sure if there would be any dramas with the RB25 ecu needing to talk to the ATTESSA computer at all..

We put a twincam 30 in my mates GTS4 but I believe that is running on a GTR powerfc.

I would also not bother with the dualstage solenoid boost control (stock 33 setup), just put your RB20 actuator on and plumb straight to that.

bubba: in regards to the physical work im 100% clued in its the wiring changes that have to be made re: rb25 engien loom connecting to r32 body loom and also what is to be done re: changing speedo cable to electronic for the dash etc

If you already know what needs to be done, why were you asking then?

What exactly do you mean about changing speedo cable to electronic for the dash?

Are you putting a 25t gearbox in too?

It's not rocket doctory :)

If he's keeping his RB20 gearbox then he doesn't need to change anything.

If he is putting a 25t box in then he can't re-use the RB20 sender.

I'm not exactly sure what he was getting at with the sender question, hence why I asked for clarification :banana:

yeh i am putting in the rb25 box in aswell. i didnt kno whether the rb20 ccable will mate into the rb25 box of if i have to use the electronic setup from the rb25 box and make changes with my cluster. i need to kno what changes need to be made regarding mating the rb25 engine loom to the r32 chassis loom etc.

also "cmoney" ur link isnt working for me.... :domokun:

Have you searched at all dude? I know there's at least one thread on RB25 into R32 and I know there's a few threads on 25t boxes into R32 GTSt's, in those I, among others, documented what we did.

No offence mate but the search function is there for a reason.. so we don't have to keep typing out essays :( if you have any specific questions, shoot me a PM :)

i believe this is what you are looking for

btw, if u are looking for a 25det pfc and wiring harness, ill have one mid year for sale

bubba i am specifically looking for the changes that may/need to be made in regards to the rb25 engine loom into the r32 body loom, that is what i have not yet been able to find. i did state that above

Wiring

Wiring is pretty straight forward if you have the correct diagrams and ecu pin outs. I'd recommend using the RB25 loom and ECU, which is what I used. This a) allows easy engineering to meet polution standards b) Allows you to run the cheaper and more readily available RB25 powerFC. Once you can get the stock ECU working fine, just drop in the PowerFc and it should work right away.

I won't go through the whole lot here, but a few things to note.

1. Grey wire near the main engine bay plug is your 12v constant injector feed. Make sure this is hooked up to a 12v line. Without this the car won't start.

2. It's not a bad idea to splice in your original engine bay resistor (passenger strut tower, silver block thing) from the rb20 loom back through the firewall and to the thick black and white wires of the r32 body loom. This provides backup ground to your fuel pump incase you lose the grounding in the boot area. It will work without it, but is a valuable safety measure which is worth keeping if you value the engine.

3. Use the O2 sensor from an RB25. I believe the R32 one is different. Effects fuel economy

4. To get the wipers working, you can use the r33 loom plug as a direct fit into your wiper.

There is another plug nearby which looks similar. You'll need to connect the orange in this plug as well or your wipers won't turn off once turned on until IGN is turned off Cut the orange up near the plug, and run a wire to this through the firewall, and this connects to one of the wider R32 body loom plugs. There is like a thick orange and a thick green next to each other. Connect this to the orange. This turns the wipers off when you whack the wiper switch back to "off". Took a while to work this out.

You also need to attach 12v IGN source to blue w/ red stripe on that plug. Hook the black with silver blotches to GND (or chasis).

The rest of the r33 plug is 'spare' and the other wires can be left disconnected down near the r33 ecu part of the loom as well.. On the R33 it connects to a brown junction box on the passenger side...but on the R32, this is on the driver side and can stay there.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
