I don't now. I haven't done it.

I have participated in putting an R34 Neo loom into R32 before. There are a lot of things that are different. Complete devices that are different, plugs that are different, circuits that are run differently. You basically have to lay the two looms out and the two wiring diagrams out next to each other and make the changes required.

I do not know of a recipe book for what you want.

Well, it's not true. The are differences between S1 and S2 R33 RB25DET looms, let alone between R33 and R32.

The differences that you need to take into account are where the engine loom butts up against the body loom. Things like the alternator wiring, main power supplies from the fuse box, etc. Even the details around exactly how the ECCS relay and fuel pump wiring at the ECU location are a little different.

Well....seeing as the R33 RB25 ECU is a piece of shit with more aggressive R&R behaviours than the R32's ECU, and you can Nistune an R32 ECU and can't Nistune an R33 ECU....I can't see why anyone would even want to run a 20 with a 25 ECU.

And then, once you get past that, the stock maps in the 25 ECU won't be well matched to what the RB20 wants, so it will not run nicely. You would be 1000% better off running it on a homebuilt programmable ECU.

I'm not entirely certain what your end goal is but if it's just to pop in an RB25 into an R32 using stock components, R32 and R33 loom both use the same ecu connector. Use the R32 loom and R33 ECU. You will have some minor changes to make to the ecu pinout though.

Got it but i have microtech lt16c was on 33-25 with harness patch  and plug 

 

thats the reason i was asking. That ecu will work or i have to do some pinout modifications on the patch to work on rb20-?

That ecu will work. Just swap around the IO you need in the ecu. Look up Rb25/R32 conversion DIY's and they document which pins or I/O need swapped in the ecu.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
