Hey everyone,

I’m in the process of converting a car from rb20e to rb20det, now, what can be used on the original loom? The rb20det loom isn’t complete as the motor and box didn’t come from a half cut.

Can the DE loom be spliced some how? So it all works, or am I going to have to look for a complete rb20det loom and just swap it over?

Any help would be much appreciated. The standard ECU will be used to get the car up and mobile, then an after market item will be used

joshwa.. do you have a diagram of the rb20e wiring, or at least ecu pinout ? if so I can tell you what the differences are. To be honest I can't think of too much that would be different.. its not like the turbo has any wiring coming off it.

I have the complete RB20det wiring diagrams, so if you could get the rb20e stuff i can have a quick look and compare.

hmm.. I've remembered I already had that..

Here you go. You love me more now. :/

The FPCM (which appears like its not on rb20de) drops the voltage on the fuel pump at idle, but probably isn't mandatory. Thats rigged up near the boot anyhow.

Just rig up the knock sensors - that's pretty much two wires direct to the sensors and a ground off each. I can't see why the rb20de would have them, but in the diagram it doesn't say that they are specific to rb20det.

Everything else looks identical so away you go.

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
    • I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
