Spark Leads For Rb20E In R33

[JediKnightBoB]

Hi!

I'm servicing the RB20E on the R33 I just got. I went to SCA, got some Bosch spark leads, Part #B6080i. The book says they suit an RB20E from an R31, but it can't be too different, right?

Anyway, the actual plug sockets are a lot longer on these leads than on my current ones, so the cables don't fit as nicely. I'd prefer to get new cables the same as my current ones to make sure my leads aren't going to pop off when I get on the loud pedal.

Does anyone have a Part # for spark leads that are confirmed to fit R33 RB20E?

Old mate at SCA checked online and these leads aren't listed for the R33, but they are listed for the R31. There are two other lead manufacturers with leads in the SCA system to suit this engine, and they are both listed for the R33 and the R31, so it stands to reason that these leads should fit both engines as well, but they're not a nice fit.

Cheers,
B.

An RB20E in a R33 is a rare engine for an import and few people would have exposure to them (we know they exist but you just do not see many).

Some pictures of the engine and engine bay may help people shed some light on your problem.

Are you talking about the lead that connects to the coil pack? I tried the bosch 6080i ages ago and found that lead didn't fit nicely so I bought some eagle leads and it was the exact same. I left it like that and didn't have a problem.

I bought the whole set; the coil-distributor lead and the six spark leads. They're not quite right but they're close enough that you can make them fit pretty easily. I've just finished the full service and she's running smoothly, even though the leads don't feel like they grab the plugs very snugly (they're very easy to pull off).

I'm going to keep my old set and next time I service it, I'll take those in to a Burson's or something and get a match for each lead.

I used to work at Supercheap. Don't trust their system with anything non australian delivered or anything uncommon, european and japanese cars especially. Alot of the information in it isnt exactly 100% correct and boy did we hear about it when people came back. Sooo many people that work at Supercheaps will talk like they know what theyr on about and theyr just talking off the screen and adding some casual tongue to the convo to get you the sale. If its not ford, holden, or australian delivered in general, be skeptical with anything they give you. My 2c. I hated my job there and eventually quit. Spent half my time telling people to go to Bursons lol
