Some of you may of read my other post with the drama's i have had with my Autech 260RS, well after getting on the piss me with me mates they suggested getting a stock series 1 and swapping it all over. Well i have done that and know im starting the planning process now of how am i going to do this?!!

I have a Series 2 Autech 260rs and i want to put it all into the stock series 1 RS4 i have.

I have been told that the mechanicals will go straight in, and ive read the posts on the manual conversion, this stuff isnt to hard for me to do as i have access to a hoist and all tools.

What worries me is the electric side of things, im hoping the engine looms will interchange?

I want to put the series 2 front end on, any problems lay ahead of me there? Will the lights etc be the same wiring?

I want to put the series 2 interior in, with the 3 gauges etc will the wiring be there? Or part of the Autech loom? I will swap the seats etc to.

Our theory is that they wouldnt of changed to much between the two? mainly just cosmetic?

Anyone have any suggestions?

Hurdles were gonna face?

Thanks

Don't forget that the 260RS is structurally stiffer in the body due to some extra reinforcements in the body and chassis. I know that there is extra bracing in the top of the c-pillars, but can't remember where the rest is.

i would think if you want to do it right you would need to virtualy strip to a shell and start from scratch

looms etc would prob be a straight forward swap over etc.i wouldnt count on wiring being in the s1 to suit s2.i know that a dayz s2 with satnav etc the looms are diff to my stock s2.

i don't see why, when you have everything out, you wouldn't just swap EVERYTHING over including looms etc to save any unforseen electrical hassles. tis what i would do. the headlight wiring loom would be slightly different too with the s2 having the divorced highbeams

one of the autech chassis strengtheners from memory is a brace under the tailshaft tunnel, its removal and goes straight on a series 1 stagea, i know this because mine has got one.

as mike said just put every loom from the autech in the s1 and then u know its the same :P alot of work ahead, taking the dash etc out is a pain in the arse but something that just takes time.

good luck mate and give me a buzz if have any issues along the way :/

I will taking bulk pictures for sure.

Gonna be a massive job but i have booked holidays from work and so have a few of my mates so we can get it done.

Sounds like an entire loom swap is gonna happen.

But what an opportunity! :D

The ability to "neaten" everything above and beyond factory spec means you have the chance to build a damn nice machine man.

Good luck with it. :P

      Everyone is too used to learning from places like HPA "how to tune" and what to expect at what point, rather than being able to see "The computer says I'm in cell with Row = 8, column =4, and I can see my fuel is lean, so lets add more" Everyone wants "real units", which helps for someone picking it up for the first time and seeing how bad the tune is if they're not used to touching it.   However, I think for most of us who want to play with it, you're 100% right, we're only needing to learn about it for OUR CAR. Which makes it great, and we don't need to care what the real values are, we just need to know which cell it is, that's causing the lean or rich point, or that we want more ignition timing or less. But again, everyone wants everything super you beaut and nearly self tuning, with VE maps, and a billion compensations...   Though then there's me over here when I'm doing reverse engineering work just reading data in hex format that most people couldn't work anything out from. Yet I can see what's going on.

      Um. No. Since Matt introduced the TIM it has become a lot easier to deal with the consequences of changing K for AFM and injector swaps. Then, tuning is a f**king doddle. No-one needs to know or care how many grams of air are flowing or any other bullshit. Need more fuel in a cell? Add more fuel. Need more timing in a cell. Add more timing. Need to adjust any of the other tables for warm up and so on? No harder than anything else. Sure - it's not an ECU system for starting from scratch on an arbitrary engine. But then.....it was never supposed to be, not recommended for, and almost never used that way. So.... On your engine, in particular, Nistune/Nissan OEM is about as sophisticated and difficult as banging 2 rocks together. Those ECUs are primitive and simple. There is nothing difficult there. I learnt Nistune from scratch, created new maps with extended axes, interpolated/extrapolated the original maps onto them and tuned my RB20 (basically the same ECU as your 26 ECU) all by myself, more than 20 years ago. And that was long before even TIM.
