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...

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
