hey guys so i need some expert advise on the whole rb25det s1 and s2 loom and engine differences.

current set up is a rb25de(+)t engine in a r32 4 door running the stock rb20det loom/ and i assume rb20det computer?

this rb25de+t is a vct but vct isn't plugged in cause its a rb20det loom.

Question 1.so i am currently getting a rb25det series 2 engine built and my question is do i need a complete rb25det series 2 loom to run this engine.

or can i get it to run on my current loom?

Question 2. would it work if i used s1 coilpacks on the s2 engine?

Question 3. what are the differences between a series 1 and 2?

Question 4. which is better?

cheers guys.

So let me just get this straight. You've got an R33 RB25de engine (with VCT disabled) in an R32 with an rb20det loom and which Ecu? Best checking to be sure mate.

You shouldn't have any issues really other than having to wire up a window switch for VCT. This is majorly important by the way, the car will be 100x nicer to drive with VCT functioning.

About Coilpacks I'm not 100% sure someone else can weigh in.

Good luck

Edit: the difference in s1 and s2 rb25dets is I believe the long nose crank which engages the oil pump fully. Not a deal breaker but if you've got the s1 motor without a crank collar then keep off the limiter

S1 coil packs require the igniter found on the back of the valley cover.

S2 coil packs have the igniter built in so if using them on a s1 loom the igniter will have to be bypassed.

Sorry to bring up an old thread but id rather not start a new one. I was given a RB25 loom by a mate to help with a budget 25/30 build and it didn't come with the "external" looms (injector, gearbox and coil pack. not sure if there's another im missing). Are there any ways to tell wether its a S1or2 from just the basic loom? I assume from what has been said above it doesnt actually matter tho. like if i get S1 coils i just have to get the IB and itll plug into the same plug that the S2 coilpack loom would plug into (obviously directly due to not having the external IB). i may not have worded that very well haha so let me know if i need to clear anything up.

cheers

I wouldn't count on that. I don't think the plugs are the same. The ignition looms ARE different, not just interchangeable parts.

      Does anyone know whats happening with harness on drivers door?

      The two diagrams are equivalent. The R32 one is just one sheet out of about 3 showing everything in the whole car all at once. And without knowing the functionality that occurs in the modules, they are both equally opaque.

      8v - 2.48ms 9v - 2.15ms 10v - 1.74ms 11v - 1.41ms 12v - 1.15ms 13v - 0.99ms 14v - 0.89ms 15v - 0.82ms 16v - 0.81ms I'm running these values on my RB20 Neo with 570cc Denso R35 stock jets and it's great. Also bought a set for my Legnum VR4, love these injectors!

      Thanks for your reply,  Those blue/green wires running to the actuator aren't attached to anything, so I'm not sure how the central locking is still working. I will have to take a good look tomorrow, I don't have the car with me. After googling it seems like a pretty common aftermarket actuator which even uses the same green/blue wires the immobiliser required. i'll test everything tomorrow and if it's working i'll melt the solder, strip it, resolder and neaten it all up with some heat shrink. I don't have to understand it if it works hahaha I just don't want a fire/ short circuit. That R32 diagram looks more like a continuity chart? Can you make sense of this form the R34 manual? 10V is probably due to very flat battery, i'll recheck as well tomorrow, I did have to jump start it haha. Thanks again!

      So, COM doesn't mean comms. It means common. What common itself means will depend on the type of device. For a two directional actuator (ie, one that can push and pull on the same output rod) then the common will typically just be the earth connection. There will be at least 2 other wires. If you put 12V on one of the other wires, then the actuator will push. On the other 12V wire, it will pull. Can't quite make out what is going on with the wiring of your actuator. It appears to have several wires at the actuator plug, but there only appears to be 2 wires where its loom approaches the door control module, with at least one of the others cut off. I don't know these actuators off by heart. I'd have to look at a wiring diagram for one before knowing what the wires were about, and that's despite me having to replace one in my car not all that long ago. Just not interesting enough to have dedicated memory set aside for trivia like that any more. That actuator is an aftermarket one, not the original one, which probably died and was replaced. That might require some sort of bodge job on wiring to make it work. Although nothing should justify the bodginess of the bodge job done. As to the soldering job on the door module's loom plug. Ahhahhahaha. Yes, very nasty. Again, I cant tell you what any of those wires do. You'd need to study the R34 wiring diagram (if you can find one that shows the door module). I don't think I have any. I'd have to study the R32 diagram to start to understand what mine is doing, and again, even though I've had a problem with mine for the last 25 years (where it locks the passenger door when the driver's window reaches top or bottom of travel) I'm just not interested enough to try to to work it out. So long as it's not burning down, it's fine with me. Here's the R32 GTR diagram, which, confusingly, has rear door lock actuators and window motors on it!! As you can see, unless you understand the functions of the door lock timer and the power window amplifier, you'll never be able to work out how it works just from the diagram. I don't imagine that the R34 one is any better. Hopefully an R34 aware bod can help. FWIW, the two wires that are cut and joined look like they are both power supply - so hopefully it is not fatal to join them. The 10V you measured on the cut off free end of one of them is concerning. You'd expect 12V, and it might be the reason for the bodge job joining them together.
