Hey guys i have an RB25DE laying around ready for installing on car but i can't seem to figure out which series it's from and it makes it very difficult to buy parts such as AFM and service parts etc. So if you guys can just have a quick look and drop a comment that would be nice :)

Wrecker who i bought it off says it's series 1 (from my experience they're not very knowledgable), but from this forum i read that series 2 doesn't have the ignitor on the top of the engine as it is built into the ECU. Attatched is some pictures of my RB25DE and i have tried searching everywhere.

Thanks.

Looks like you have a Series 1 but the ignitor is missing. Its usually mounted at the rear of the coil pack cover.

:D

Hmmm how are you sure? I've seen some R33 engines where there was a stand just like the one on mine at the end of the coil packs cover but however it was 2 plugs joined together (the stand was to hold the joined plugs up) instead of 2 plugs on each side of the ignitor... :)

After a closer look I think you are right actually. The stand you are talking about is there (I didnt notice this before), in place of where the ignitor would normally be mounted and the plugs look different too.

Heres a pic of my old Series 1 outlining the ignitor and plugs:

To be 100% sure, Id check the coil packs. If you post a pic of one up here I'll let you know for sure. :D

I would say it is a series 2 engine. The plug is the same as my series 2 as it dosent need the igniter. The series 2 is about 4 pins across and 2 down. And the picture of the series 1 ^^^ that has the igniter has a different plug (looks like 1 row of 8 pins) that looms off to coils. hope that helps

I also think it’s a S2 motor however I am unsure if the non turbo RB25 follows the same conventions as the turbo version. The TPS is the 2 plug type which S2’s have. Also, the S2 motor has a pink label on the AFM, not a green one which would be for the S1.

I through that S2 RB's had the eno head's on them

soo wouldn't it say it somewhere on it........

Thought that was for R34s? NEO technology was only introduced at 1998 onwards. Please correct me if i'm wrong someone.

+1 for being s2. the tps is the first thing i looked at

definately a s2 , it has no ingnitor for the coils , which means you'll have to change your ecu , it's built in to the ecu

the ignitor on the s2 motors IS NOT built into the ecu. it is built into the coils. some people on this forum may say that the ignitor is in the ecu, those people are also wrong. this is the reason why s1 and s2 r33's have different coil packs. i have personally run a s1 ecu with an s2 motor, so i can 100% garantee that it can be done.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.

      As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers.

      Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
