My mate is putting a rb20det into his r33 just as a skid pig to learn to drift.

Now we have a r32 rb20det with loom and ecu.

Dash plug pins done match.

And square plug under airbox pins dont match. Need some advice to set this all up.

We cant even find any wiring info for the RB20e R33 to even begin to figure it out.

So any infomation would be good.

Or any tips to make it run with out it being wired to the car, more like its just sitting there to hold it.

And dont just say get a rb25... picked this motor up for $200 with a rebuilt head.

And getting this wired up will help when his RB30DET goes in as he has a R32 RB25 head. Cheers

done match? so you've done the matching

I believe you mean don't match.. both very different words with different meanings.

Because it'a R33, I would suggest investigating on a R33 GTS-t loom and swap the injector pins to suit. Then splice the sensor wires into the R32 sensors. Of course a RB20DET doesn't have VCT so you can just terminate those wires.

Not really rocket science, you'll work it out.

We got it running found some info from someone thats done the swap.

And regards to the comment about small tyres, I have a friend who drifts a single cam non turbo rb20e r32 and goes out with the big boys. A turbo twin cam rb20det will do just fine. The one problem I have with community is the hate towards RB20'S

fuel pump on switch idea isn't smart.

I would use the ECU to trigger your fuel pump, so when the motor isn't turning the pump stops.. good for when there's a crash, and a fuel line ruptures etc. and there's no fuel being pumped everywhere

Ok well I guess we will sort a new feed for that then, didnt think to far into it at this stage.

Ill have to look more into it because the normal power feed etc was somehow running 12v constant so the car would stay running with the key out as a turbo timer would act. So ill have to either get the ecu trigger to work, may wire up a relay using the ecu trigger and the 12v switched feed and get it going that way, either that or anything that only feeds 12v with the engine running haha. More investigation is needed for the next step... dont worry though guys his car is miles away from being ready to drive

      I know it's an entirely different engine, but I noticed practically 0 difference removing or adding 2x 3in (5inch body) 400cell cats (one in each bank) with regards to sound. So changing the cat to change drone I suspect will have very very, very, very, very, very very minimal impact.

      200 cell cat will probably help. Do you have room to tee off a Helmholtz resonator anywhere along the exhaust? These can do wonders for drones, with a little experimentation with regards to length.

      The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing

      Hahah look at that smile 😂 Just like those ones on IG where they compare the husband in family photos vs husband going fishing lol. I don't think I'll participate this time, clutch isn't in and also the last time I went there were too many numpties on the cruise sessions. Nearly caused a few accidents holding up people and a few guys initiating massive kerb to kerb drifts with heaps of cars right behind them. Not to mention, there were guys on the track session using it as a power cruise session.
