Hey all well basically i've got ahold of some LSx based coils and i'm goin to be swapping out my splitfires which have failed me again.

Now the main info i'm after is the wireing out put for the standard/splitfire coils on a S2 basically which pin on which coil is what

the next info i'm after is what kind of trigger voltage do the stock use and also does anyone know the factory dwell settings with a stock r33 S2 ecu

the coils i'm using have built in ignitors and only cost me 470 delivered for a set of 8 from the states which is much cheaper alternator to splitfires. and should last alot longer as i've never heard of anyone having problems with stock coils on an LSx series motor

The LSx coils from memory use a 5v poitive trigger and need about 3ms dwell at 13volts. They are a dumb ignitor as well. Once again from memory the s2 r33 use a 12v negative trigger with about2.2ms dwell at 13volts. They are also a dumb ignitor. Not sure what yourgoing to do to trigger them.

interesting, how can i check on the car weather its a negative or possitive signal coming out of the r33 ecu?

backprobe the voltage on the trigger wire with ign on if you have 12v or 5v it's a negarive trigger

cheers, will do that in the morning, what effect will it have on the LSX coil if i reverse the polarity seeing as the coil has a pin for internal ignitor ground and power feed

been talking to another mate about it all.... are you sure the stock coils are 12v and ground triggering?

Not 100% its been a while since I've scoped a skyline. I'm sure the specs on the LSx coils are correct tho as well as the dwell times. I would definately check the triggering type before installing the coils tho.

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
