JH32 I'm sorry if bumping the tread hurts you

Firstly I have googled it before I put a thread up in here

Secondly - on goggle it does not give a clear info on fitting these to a RB26 there are loads of topics re the RB25

Yep, what Ben said in a nutshell. Really, there's plenty of info out there on how to do it.

I used this guide to do mine:

EDIT: actually this was the guide I used, but the one above helped fill in some gaps:

http://www.240sxforums.com/forums/rb-tech/137034-rb25det-series-2-ls2-truck-coil-pack-swap.html

Basically for each coil, there is a couple of grounds, a +12v and a trigger wire.

1) I joined the ground from each coil together (in series? dunno what the technical term is) and then had one single ground wire coming out the end of the new harness that then attached to one spot on the valley cover (see attached pic).

2) I did the same with the power wire for each coil, joined them all together. The single power that comes out the end of your harness then connects into the connector at the back of the head with 3 wires going into it (circled green in my pic attached).

3) The other 2 wires in that connector circled in green are i) the signal ground which is also ground to the valley cover, and ii) the trigger wire which you won't need anymore (you will see why when you remove all the back wrapping off the coil pack harness).

When you go about connecting the trigger wires to the wires that go into the ignitor (you will need to cut the harness on the firewall side to do this so you can plug them into your own, new connector), make sure you do each one individually so you don't stuff it up. Good advice here is to take a photo of the ignitor pack as all the wires as the wires are colour coded.

Read the above, then read that link I posted, then read them both a few more times. Once you get your head around it, it's dead easy.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point.

If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
