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.

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
