R33 Series 2 Block Into R33 Series 1 Car... Not Starting -- Help!

[Scooby_Steve]

Hi All,

**i've posted this message in the Forced Induction forum however i think this forum is probably the better bet...

A mate has a R33 Series 1 which he has had a Series 2 block installed. However, the car now will not start. The car just doesnt seem to want to kick over.

I believe he has a set of Spitfire ignitor coils for Series 2 and he has had the wiring redone on the ignition side so it is compatible with the Series 1 setup. Was this required? would Series 1 ignitor coils in conjunction with the Series 1 ignitor pack work with the Series 2 block?

I've also heard that the wiring for the crank angle sensor needs to be re-wired as well.. is this true?

Lastly, the only things i can think of that could be causing the problem is that the crank angle sensor is faulty or the immobolizer is kicking in. My mate did have an alarm on his car, however is now not working.

So if anyone can help out, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advanced.

Regards

Steve

You will need to use either the series 1 ignitor with series 1 coils or series 2 coils. I'm guessing the series 1 wiring loom was used in which case it would be easier to simply use all the series 1 sensors eg CAS, AFM etc as the plugs are different. Its a little difficult to comment further without more information on what rewiring was done.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply... My mate is using the S1 coils with S1 ignitor module.

Would i need to be using a S2 AFM? or will the S1 AFM do fine as he is using all S1 wiring, ecu etc.

In regards to the CAS, is it as easy as removing the S2 CAS and installing the S1 CAS? does it fit without problems?

Any help would be great... going to check all the above, fuel feed, sparks in the next hour.

I would use all the series 1 gear including AFM (series 1 plug wont fit on the series 2 AFM). I checked the CAS and the plug is the same for series 1 and 2, but in any case I would suggest using the series 1 CAS if you know it was working with the series 1 motor. Yes you can swap the CAS without any problems.

Let us know how you go.
