Hi im about to put a ls1 into a r32 im just wondering if this idea will work. I was searching around on the net and i found a company called sikky that make all the conversion gear for ls1 into s13. So I was thinking that if I put a s13 cross member in my r32 and used the sikky mounts . Do you think this will work? The kit also comes with the gearbox cross member to suit the s13 will I be able to mod this to fit the r32?

Cheers

The starter motor isnt a problem ive got a relocator kit that puts it on the other side. I got it from castlemain rod shop its actually for ls1 into holden vs but it should do the trick. A nother option is using a msd adjustable mini starter.

I head you can swap the extractors so they face forward the have the exhaust do a 180 from that point. Another option is cut tge extractors so they tilt more towards the block

You would have heard wrong then... If you cut the extractors so they sit tighter on the block, you have the drivers side one exiting smack in the middle of the steering rack.

For those who've done this, or are doing this currently, they can also tell you the passenger side standard or HSV manifolds fit perfectly. Nothing off the shelf will fit, as they are designed to finish under the car, not in the engine bay...

Bringing this back as I am currently doing this swap in the states. I got an msd mini starter that can be rotated out of the way to clear the steering rack. What are HSV manifolds? Is hsv a company or a car? We dont have that in the U.S. and I need some kind of exhaust manifold (you call extractor i guess?)

In Aus, we get this motor from a company called Holden, they have a more "superior" company that sell "better" versions of these cars made by a company called HSV (Holden Special Vehicles)

So they have better extractors on them etc. I can take some pictures showing the differences.

What extractors are you using?

Im planning to use them from our Pontiac g8 gt. I think its the same as a 4 door commodore.

If that's the case, they will be a cast header, and the passenger one should just fit.

The drivers side won't. It will foul on all things nice and Nissan.

      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

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      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.
