Hey up firstly I very sorry if this topic has already been discussed but me I can't find a clear answer to what I want

Ok I have a rb28 and always having issue with my OEM spark and coils now I have seen online people have done the ls2 coil swap can someone guide me to what LS2-7 coils I need and the wording diagram to do this swap ??

Also this coil swap would it be compatible with HKS F CON GOLD ECU

THANK YOU

JH32 I'm sorry if bumping the tread hurts you

Firstly I have googled it before I put a thread up in here

Secondly - on goggle it does not give a clear info on fitting these to a RB26 there are loads of topics re the RB25

Yep, what Ben said in a nutshell. Really, there's plenty of info out there on how to do it.

I used this guide to do mine:

EDIT: actually this was the guide I used, but the one above helped fill in some gaps:

http://www.240sxforums.com/forums/rb-tech/137034-rb25det-series-2-ls2-truck-coil-pack-swap.html

Basically for each coil, there is a couple of grounds, a +12v and a trigger wire.

1) I joined the ground from each coil together (in series? dunno what the technical term is) and then had one single ground wire coming out the end of the new harness that then attached to one spot on the valley cover (see attached pic).

2) I did the same with the power wire for each coil, joined them all together. The single power that comes out the end of your harness then connects into the connector at the back of the head with 3 wires going into it (circled green in my pic attached).

3) The other 2 wires in that connector circled in green are i) the signal ground which is also ground to the valley cover, and ii) the trigger wire which you won't need anymore (you will see why when you remove all the back wrapping off the coil pack harness).

When you go about connecting the trigger wires to the wires that go into the ignitor (you will need to cut the harness on the firewall side to do this so you can plug them into your own, new connector), make sure you do each one individually so you don't stuff it up. Good advice here is to take a photo of the ignitor pack as all the wires as the wires are colour coded.

Read the above, then read that link I posted, then read them both a few more times. Once you get your head around it, it's dead easy.

One last thing thing can you give me the part numbers for the coils

    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position. 
    • You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
