Putting A Stagea Rb25det Into My Hr32 Gts4 Auto

[TurboX]

Has anyone had any experience on droping a Stagea RB25DET into a HR32 GTS4 Auto? (RB20DET bigends stuffed)

Sorry if this is really in the wrong section but I think SK hangs around here a lot

I am assuming it should virtually bolt up to the AWD GTR Style sump that I have left in place in the engine bay after removing the RB25 awd sump. If the oil pickup does not align I hope I can change the baffels or the pickup to suit.

The Wiring harness could be a problem area especially if I use a NEO (which I probably wont) as I want to use the standard rechipped ECU to drive it all and I dont know if it will just "Plug & Play".. now where have I heard that before? Thats right, its actually "Plug & PRAY!"

Anyone have any observations on this electrical nightmare

hey mate ive not done the conversion u speak of, but ive done a rb26 into the stagea and the stagea rb25 into a vl commodore so ive seen both engines. the stagea rb25 uses the same sump as the rb26 and i assume the exact same one as u have on your engine at the moment, just the diff has different ratios. That means the oil pickup will be fine, and fit without hassles also.

not sure about the wiring, as you could use a stagea rb25 ecu if u used the stagea auto box too, but im not sure what ecu to use with the rb20 box, though isnt the rb20 ecu's tunable and capable of running a rb25 no worries?

hope it helps abit
