Depending on what head you plan on using...since you are using the rb25de head, you have no vvt. So the best option would be to use the rb20det loom as it has no vvt as well, and the rb20det Power FC...make sense?

I think the best place to start is what car do you currently have? Then work from there.

My preference would be to use an RB25DET PFc if you can. You dont need to have it running the vvt, and it is $400 cheaper.

Do all years of RB25DET have variable valve timing?

The project car the motor is for is a 260Z, so that is neither here nor there but it does allow me to have free range of what skyline parts to use.

Are all the sensors common between the RB25DE and the RB20DET i.e. will the loom plug into everything or will some chopping and changing need to be done.

Will this affect injector style?

R32 came out with the two engines =Rb20det, Rb25de....

I assumed you were putting it in a different type of car other than a skyline....

saying that the sensors might not be the same between the rb25det and rb20/25de...not so sure if they are compaitble, which may mean getting all 25det sensors...added cost

I got my Power FC and HC for $1600 brand new...not too expensive. They do come up now and again, and arnt hard to get hold of.

yup Ap Engineering version on the RB31DET.

Ive got a mate Using a RB25de (with 26 internals) and he is using the rb20det loom, using the 25de knock and oil pressure sensors. The only difference in the two is the AAC valve i think...check the difference between the two engine sensors (ie rb20 to 25de) to see if there any different. I did and only came up with the AAC valve being different between the two models....and use a rb20 afm :D

edit/ the rb25de and rb20det use the same injectors - top feed red tops...same cc as well i think....

I'm also using an AP PowerFC & H/C for the RB30DET that I picked up for $1100 delivered, 1 year old.

With your setup you will need the RB20DET loom and an AP Engineering PowerFC.

The injectors and sensors between the R32 RB25DE & R32 RB20DET are the same.

If you went with the R33's VCT head obviously the use of a R33 RB25DET loom and RB25DET powerfc would be required.

I'm unsure if the R32 RB25DE loom has the extra's such as MAP sensor & knock sensor wires running back to the ecu. I would have to check the wiring diag in the engine manual. Either way its not hard to run a couple of wires you are missing back to the ecu.

Ok cool, thankx. soory to be a pain but would it be too much trouble to check the wiring diagram?? just trying to get out of changing over to the rb20det loom, could i use the 25de loom with the addition of an aftermarket boost controller? thanks again mate, help is much appreciated.

I wouldn't worry too much about the N/A and turbo loom differences.

Wires can always been ran back to the ecu. All you need is the pinout.

If you want the r32/r33 engine manual let me know. It contains the wiring diags.

I decided to throw a few x 3 Jonnie Walker cans back tonight (with family) so I'm kind of tanked. No good me looking at a wiring diagram. :rolleyes:

hehe sounds good. Mate would it be alot of trouble of for you to e-mail me the engine wiring diagrams? so u rekon i could use the 25de loom and use a boost controller for the turbo, along with the programmable FC to suit an rb20det? harrr what a mouth ful!again, many thanks for the help...

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
