ok, i am running a rb226 harness on my rb25, and there are many differances, the biggest obstacle in front of me is the knock sensor harness and sensor them selves, on the rb25 the harness is intergrated into the lower harness, and they are green, on the rb26 they are black with a bolt through them, my first question can i splice my old sensors into the rb26 harness, or should i run the rb26 sensors, on top of that, does any other motor cross refence to the knock sensor harness since i do not have a rb26 harness perhaps a sr or ca ? any advice or input is apprecited, also i am running a power fc, so i know that i dont need the sensor (pfc does not retard timing like stock ecu) but i want it for the exta safety ( i have a wideband o2 as well as a egt sensor)

yeh i noticed lol

if the two sensors read the same voltage i think it would work, if u just ran theknock senors directly to the ecu, using rb25 harness, going to rb26 ecu plug

I am putting the RB26DETT head on my Neo RB25DET Block, so my plan is to swap over the upper part of the RB26 harness onto my RB25DET harness inclusive of the injectors and resistor pack and whatnot. Getting the damaged RB26DETT engine this weekend.

sounds good in theory but rb25 use 1 wire type knock sensor. rb26 run 2 wire knock sensor. gotta get my hands on wiring diagram to make sure which wire does wat.

yeah i was looking for a diagram as we speak, i hope its a power ground think since the 25 is tied into lower harness and is grounded there

yeh i was thinking along the same lines.... wasnt sure if the 26 may use individual grounds or not... tis all

yeah i know that only one wire goes to the ecu plug so i assume its a ground, any luck on wiring diagram, i do happen to have the two types of sensors on hand

waiting on a mate who has got them... not as of yet tho. i had a crazy thought of gettin the original knock sensors off the 25 and retrofitting them to the 26 block only problem is i would have to drill the block to make them fit due to the different thread size. not sure if this is even a valid option... probably not lol. if ne one else has ne ideas would be gr8 to hear.

    • The water pump is know to leak as well. So if the coolant is low checking that first as well as hoses. 
    • Reading your posts Josh, sometimes I feel like I've gone in a time machine back to the 90's when everyone was doe-eyed and figuring things out for the first time.  I've lost track of how many single turbo GTR's I've seen on track that haven't burnt down lol. Everything has been figured out a long time ago. These things are at the point now where its essentially turn-key to go single turbo. 
    • Among other things yes. Making sure to either use an oil pressure regulator or the right restrictor size for your oil pump/range of oil viscosities you intend to run, making sure you plumb the lines correctly, turbo should be placed such that it siphons properly even when the water pump isn't turning so you don't boil coolant in the turbo after shutdown, oil return should be low resistance and also preferably picking the one that is most likely to return to the pickup as opposed to some other irrelevant part of the pan. It's far from impossible to figure this out but I have seen people really, really struggle and if that's the case it's easier to just take the path of least resistance. To me, bolt-on twin turbos are a fixed cost whereas single turbo is almost unbounded.
    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
