Guys

Have bought an RB25DET to put in my Cefiro, which is currently an RB20.

Thought there would have been a thread on how to do this conversion, but could not find one!

I presume it will bolt straight in, but just wanted to know about best electrical method with standard R33 loom and ecu. Also digital speedo with mechanical dash.

Any advice appreciated

Regards

I had this link in my favourites from before the forum software change.. If anyone can get it to point to the right place again, (search doesn't like the title for some reason :) ) it shows a very good guide to the conversion.

hi guys the old link isnt working i think. plus i have searched and thereis alot of info to waid through and i dont have time as the owner of the car wants it done yesterday.

okies to cut a long story short.

im currently working on an r32 that originally had a rb20.

there is now an rb25 sitting in the engine bay

(i did one a long time ago and cant remember how i did it or what i did and the info i had i can find)

so some questions -

as what im looking at doing atm is using the rb25 engine harness and just getting the pinouts for the 3 plugs that are near the ecu to plug into the car wiring harness.

swap the wires from the rb25 engine harness to the rb20 plugs so it will plug into the car harness with little fuss.

does anyone have the pinouts for the 3 plugs i need both the rb20 and rb25 diagrams showing the pinouts and wire colour with function??

any info would be greatly appreciated. plus once i have it sorted, ill post up all the info for future reference. B)

The RB20 gearbox will bolt straight up onto the RB25DET. The box appears capable enough to handle the output of the 25.

My conversion - Stagea RB25DET into a R32 GTS4 - ended up pushing 180kW to all 4 wheels, and the box hasn't shown any reluctance to continue working.

I ran a Wolf 3D ECU into it, so can't help you with the pinouts.

ok ive got the diagram for the rb25det harness diagram - http://www.gweeds.net/carpage2/rb25diagram.jpg

if someone has exactly the same but in the rb20det i would be most greatful.

thanks in advance

just a heads up you have to hook up the cat temp sensor when doing this conversion otherwise the 33 ecu goes into limp mode

(this is what happened to me when i put a 25 in to a slivia and used the factory ecu)

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
