Hey guys

So basically i have put a RB25DET NEO into a R32 GTST
Everything mechanical is done.

I have used the RB25det NEO Loom and ECU

I basically need a guide/help on wiring the Rb25det Neo engine loom to the R32 gtst body loom and to basically get this thing started and running.

Now i have searched everywhere for days found little bits and pieces like this :

The internal wiring is the only hard part. You need to place the wires from the 34 loom into the factory 32 internal loom. This is easy if you know what every wire from the 32 and 34 ecu’s is and what thus each wire in each plug in the 32 and 34 kick panel is. It is easiest (in my opinion) to cut the internal loom plugs off the 34 loom and off the 32 loom where it went onto the main ecu loom, and attach the 32 plugs onto the 34 ecu loom. This way, if you crash your 32 or whatever and want to put the neo into a new 32 all your wiring is done basically. If you do it the other way, you will also need all the corresponding 34 internal plugs from the internal loom. I say do it the first way. It’s your choice.
The only point to really note and emphasise here is this:
The r32 is basic. The 34 had TCS and ABS. Each system in the 34 has it’s own computer ie for the
1. Engine
2. TCS
3. ABS
Each computer works both independently, receiving the signals it needs to and consequently processing them, and together. They all talk to each other. If you remove the ABS computer (or in the 32’s case, it was never there to start with) the engine computer does not see a signal from the ABS computer, so it thinks the car has no brakes. And it won’t go. So you need to trick the ECU into thinking that the TCS and ABS computers are their, functioning properly, and sending a signal so the ecu thinks you have never locked up braking or lost traction whilst driving. The information on how to do this, along with spreadsheets of what every wire in the 32 and 34 kick panels is, the plug layouts, ecu pinouts etc is all available via application in writing

Now it says what to do but not how TO DO IT ?!?!

does anyone have a guide or write up for this?

OR know how to do it

Thanks kindly

Ryan

It's pretty easy. I'll see if I have some pics from when I did mine. There is really not much that needs to be done.

Power and earth come from engine bay. Fuel pump, tacho and some other stuff go into the body loom in passenger footwell.

There is a dedicated guide here in the how to section by the way. Search and Ye shall find.

You will need to Nistune the ECU to get rid of the fault codes and CEL. ABS and TCS are the big problem. Nistune fixes all.

The only way to do a neat job of it is to use the complete R34 loom and add the body connections from R32 into it, rather than the sort of horrible hack and tack approach that has been documented elsewhere.

I wish could give you a nice summary on how to do it, but I sensibly left that part in the hands of people who knew exactly what to do and had the bits to do it with before the swap commenced.

Hmmm okay looks like ill get a nistune after i get it started and see how that goes.

but yeah im wanting to cut the plugs off the R32 gtst loom and use them on the NEO loom, if you do find any information on how to do it please lemme know.

and Josh, did you find any photos ????

thanks

    • I have no hard data to report, but I have to say, having driven it to work and back all week, mostly on wet roads (and therefore mostly not able to contemplate anything too outrageous anywhere)..... it is real good. I turned the boost controller on, with duty cycle set to 10% (which may not be enough to actually increase the boost), and the start boost set to 15 psi. That should keep the gate unpressurised until at least 15 psi. And rolling at 80 in 5th, which is <2k rpm, going to WOT sees the MAP go +ve even before it crosses 2k and it has >5 psi by the time it hits 90 km/h. That's still <<2.5k rpm, so I think it's actually doing really well. Because of all the not-quite-ideal things that have been in place since the turbo first went on, it felt laggy. It's actually not. The response appears to be as good as you could hope for with a highflow.
    • Or just put in a 1JZ, and sell me the NEO head 😎
    • Oh, it's been done. You just run a wire out there and back. But they have been known to do coolant temp sensors, MAP sensors, etc. They're not silly (at Regency Park) and know what's what with all the different cars.
    • Please ignore I found the right way of installing it thanks
    • There are advantages, and disadvantages to remapping the factory.   The factory runs billions of different maps, to account for sooooo many variables, especially when you bring in things like constantly variable cams etc. By remapping all those maps appropriately, you can get the car to drive so damn nicely, and very much so like it does from the factory. This means it can utilise a LOT of weird things in the maps, to alter how it drives in situations like cruise on a freeway, and how that will get your fuel economy right down.   I haven't seen an aftermarket ECU that truly has THAT MANY adjustable parameters. EG, the VAG ECUs are somewhere around 2,000 different tables for it to work out what to do at any one point in time. So for a vehicle being daily driven etc, I see this as a great advantage, but it does mean spending a bit more time, and with a tuner who really knows that ECU.   On the flip side, an aftermarket ECU, in something like a weekender, or a proper race car, torque based tuning IMO doesn't make that much sense. In those scenarios you're not out there hunting down stuff like "the best way to minimise fuel usage at minor power so that we can go from 8L/100km to 7.3L/100km. You're more worried about it being ready to make as much freaking power as possible when you step back on the loud pedal as you come out of turn 2, not waiting the extra 100ms for all the cams to adjust etc. So in this scenario, realistically you tune the motor to make power, based on the load. People will then play with things like throttle response, and drive by wire mapping to get it more "driveable".   Funnily enough, I was watching something Finnegans Garage, and he has a huge blown Hemi in a 9 second 1955 Chev that is road registered. To make it more driveable on the road recently, they started testing blocking up the intake with kids footballs, to effectively reduce air flow when they're on the road, and make the throttle less touchy and more driveable. Plus some other weird shit the yankee aftermarket ECUs do. Made me think of Kinks R34...
