Problem With My S2 Conversion

Hey guys just finished my s1.5 > s2 r33 front end conversion.

The problem I'm having is with the foglights.

I went to the wreckers and bought the s2 indicator stalk with foggie switch. I've noticed it has an extra loom with a plug, I'm guessing these are meant to be for the fog lights.

I need to work out a way to connect the foggies to the stalk so that they can run off the stock switch on the stalk. Is this possible and has anyone done this before?

Cheers

Chris.

I have the same issue (S1.5 to S2 conversion)

Interested in hearing if there's an answer to this.

I am half temped to drill a hole in the back of the ashtray and manually wire up a toggle switch there.

Seems like a rough solution though :P

As you have the S2 indicator stalk (which has the rotary fog light ring switch) all you have to do is plug in the connection from the indicator stalk to the socket hidden under the steering column cover. Then simply install the new stalk where the old one is. In addition to this, you must get hold of the fog light relay and install it into the correct base in the relay box under the bonnet.

You should be able to use the stock indicator wiring and plugs which would do the front indicators and the fog lights, but not sure if the S1 plugs fit S2 lights. Hope this helps!

Hey mate thanks for the reply!

I already have the stalk installed and hooked up to the blinkers. However, I cant seem to find the socket you mentioned that I need to plug the connection into. Maybe s1 doesn't have it?

And is the relay box the small blck box located on the rear left hand side of the engine bay?

I have attached a picture from a mate's s1.5 R33 which shows you what plug you will be looking for. The car this is from did not have fog lights installed so it was just taped back as in the picture. Perhaps not all s1.5 had this. You have to remove the steering column cover to see this.

And is the relay box the small blck box located on the rear left hand side of the engine bay?

When looking under the bonnet, facing the car you will see a black box on the left hand side (drivers side) behind the washer bottle. Just unclip that and you will find relays in there. If you turn over the lid you should find a diagram of where each relay goes. Strangely the fog light relay was installed and is brown on this car even though there is no stalk switch. I'm sure you can find one from a wrecker.

If you don't have that plug near the steering wheel or a base for the fog light relay in the engine bay, I guess you will need to install a separate switch with its own relay and wiring to get the fog lights up and running. If you are not sure yourself about doing such a job, an auto electrician would be able to help you. They may be able to even use the stock stalk switch so you still keep that factory feel.

is there a difference between the series 1 and 2 stalk? my series 1 has the fog light switch on the stalk?

or are you talking about the going from the switch on the center console to the switch on the stalk

err my s1.5 didn't come with a switch on the stalk so I put in a s2 stalk.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.

      Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.

      Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
