Hello

If I decide to go the rb25 into the r32, there is a place in the states where I can get a wiring harness that has already been made to use with a rb25 into a r32. It has been made to have everything working such as the windshield wipers, VCT, etc.

So I have read that I would bolt the rb20's acillearies onto the rb25. But I read that some people had problems with the powersteering pump since it only has one hose from it compared to the rb20's which has three, two for the hicas and that getting the powersteering belt with the correct length is difficult.

The old posts that I read about this didnt have any clear cut solutions.

What are some solutions for this? My hicas is working so I do not want to take it out.

Everything that has ever been written about putting 25s in R32s on this site is still here.

My 2c. Piss off HICAS. It doesn't matter if it's working. If it's working, it is still working worthless junk, rather than working useful stuff. Getting rid of it makes a lot of your PS pump problems just go away.

You're finally taking out advice, also you can use the RB20DET engine harness fine, however you need to swap 2x injector pins and run a VCT trigger wore separately into the engine bay.

Just use the RB25 sensors spliced into the RB20DET loom.

I used factory loom, didn't swap pins on the ecu.yet as I have to swap the injector harness plugs I swapped two around there. Had to extend about 6 wires to yet that was more manifold issue as not factory. Hicas, if your serious just keep the 20 pump and swap balancer so the fan belts the right number of ribs

I bought my loom from Wiring Specialties in the US. I'm very happy with the purchase, it's awesome quality...

How is it? Was it easy to install? Did you have to splice anything? Does everything work?

I had to change my gearbox plug, but that was probably because I didn't specify the correct one when I ordered the loom. I also extended one of the plugs because it wouldn't reach with the way I wanted to route the loom. But everything works well with the loom (including aircon) however it doesn't control the power steering, but that didn't bother me as I run a manual voltage controller for the solenoid.

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
