hey guys so i need some expert advise on the whole rb25det s1 and s2 loom and engine differences.

current set up is a rb25de(+)t engine in a r32 4 door running the stock rb20det loom/ and i assume rb20det computer?

this rb25de+t is a vct but vct isn't plugged in cause its a rb20det loom.

Question 1.so i am currently getting a rb25det series 2 engine built and my question is do i need a complete rb25det series 2 loom to run this engine.

or can i get it to run on my current loom?

Question 2. would it work if i used s1 coilpacks on the s2 engine?

Question 3. what are the differences between a series 1 and 2?

Question 4. which is better?

cheers guys.

So let me just get this straight. You've got an R33 RB25de engine (with VCT disabled) in an R32 with an rb20det loom and which Ecu? Best checking to be sure mate.

You shouldn't have any issues really other than having to wire up a window switch for VCT. This is majorly important by the way, the car will be 100x nicer to drive with VCT functioning.

About Coilpacks I'm not 100% sure someone else can weigh in.

Good luck

Edit: the difference in s1 and s2 rb25dets is I believe the long nose crank which engages the oil pump fully. Not a deal breaker but if you've got the s1 motor without a crank collar then keep off the limiter

Sorry to bring up an old thread but id rather not start a new one. I was given a RB25 loom by a mate to help with a budget 25/30 build and it didn't come with the "external" looms (injector, gearbox and coil pack. not sure if there's another im missing). Are there any ways to tell wether its a S1or2 from just the basic loom? I assume from what has been said above it doesnt actually matter tho. like if i get S1 coils i just have to get the IB and itll plug into the same plug that the S2 coilpack loom would plug into (obviously directly due to not having the external IB). i may not have worded that very well haha so let me know if i need to clear anything up.

cheers

I wouldn't count on that. I don't think the plugs are the same. The ignition looms ARE different, not just interchangeable parts.

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
