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.

One last thing thing can you give me the part numbers for the coils

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
