I've searched the forum and now i just need to know if someone can confirm what it is needed to transplant a Series 2 engine i've bought, into a Series 1 R33 GTST.

The coilpacks and coilpack harness need to be changed to S1?

The TPS might be different but not necessary to change?

The CAS is different but should just hook up to the S1 connector?

What i've understood it might be possible to use the S2 coilpacks if the S2 coilpack harness is used but i dont know if its possible to just hook it up to the S1 main harness?

Help me out here guys :)

If your going to be using S1 coilpacks you need to hook the S1 harness up to an ignition module, if your using the S2 coilpacks, they have the ignition module built in from memory??

Anyway all I know is, S1 need ignition module and S2 doesn't :)

Thanks for the help, looks like im going to change the coils to S1 then, luckly ive got the old igniter pack laying around :)

Ill also be looking at a S1 CAS then, read somewhere that it needs to be modified to fit the S2 engine, but someone else said that the S2 CAS will work with the S1 harness :S

Reason why i havent bought the S2 harness and ECU is that i've got Nistune in the S1 ECU, used it for my RB31/26DETT build. Now that engine is sold but i've got a GT3076, SARD 800cc's and a Q45 AFM along with some more parts that im going use in this engine so ill be wanting to keep Nistune :)

    • bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.
    • Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 馃檪  I know what it looks like  
    • Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
    • You need to buy a Saab Matt, ours had a button that turned all the dash lights off. Any decent aftermarket dash has sufficient brightness control and a headlight input for day/night settings. None of which probably helps OP
    • Yeah thanks...i thought it would be alot more i dont know 馃槃 I saw some videos on converting push/pull and it seems you need to "drill" the hole for slave(master) cylinder and buy some converter kit. On that front yoke clip i did not even know that is a thing and i need to source that(custom shops do not do that?) But anyway thank you for the info
