I currentyly have a series 1 rb25det in a 32 at the moment and i am doing an engine change on this and thinking of putting a rb25det series 2 engine from a 97 skyline.

I have mixed respones and mixed reactions from people on the forums and mechanics. Some say that you can put a Series 2 engine onto a Series 1 wiring loom/harness.

Can anyone confirm that this can be done otherwise i will need to source out a series 2 wiring loom/harness.

Is there any difference in the word wiring loom and wiring harness, different people use different words.

Can i series 1 wiring loom support a series 2 engine?

(Thinking the problem will be the coil packs since the wires on the series 1 go into the back of the engine where on series 2 there is a wire for each injectorm, is this correct?)

Any comments or help on this would be benefitical.

Cheers

harness is different as the series 1 has the little black box up the back... cant remember the name of it. ITs a sprak amplifier or something

Series 2 motor has the amplifier thingy on the actual coil packs themselves

which is totally different

yeah i realised that was the difference, i have heard that instead of connecting the plug to that little box up the back, you can run the 6 wires directly into the coil packs themselves?

Anyone tried this?

the coil pack wiring from the s1 unplugs and just plug in the s2 coil loom.

hrmm interesting....

I have a s1 motor and loom and recently purchased splitfire s2 coils.

The coil plugs on the s1 loom dont fit onto the s2 coils so i need to use s2 plugs instead. I also need to remove the ignitor (black box at the back) and wire the wires into the coil loom.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
