Ottoman Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Just starting the swap myself. So far I have engine out, my engine bay cleaned up, old harness out and I'm putting my new harness in. Hope to drop the engine in this week sometime so I can get started on the intercooler and exhaust. I'm already running the cheap forward facing intake. I ended up having to drill and tap the booster hole (couldn't find metric barb fitting in my area). I have a enjuku oil pan and wiring specialties harness. Did you convert the stock harness or buy one? I'm currently installing my harness and mounting my ecu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizzurp Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 I used the stock harness as it was in good shape, I partly used pat's guide and partly did my own thing, it was a very easy job to wire. Do you know what size bolts you ended up using for the forward facing intake manifold? I need to pick some up and don't have a hardware store near so I may just order them from mcmaster if you know exactly what'll fit. I bought a new oem nissan plenum gasket though so I'm set there. I noticed that booster line is some obscure m16-2 or something wonky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should be doing that this week hopefully while it's still out,of the car. You should check out Rb swap discussion group of Facebook it you haven't already. Also a good source of knowledge. I couldn't find a barb fitting that size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizzurp Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 Yep I'm on there too, if you could get the length/thread pitch for those bolts I would love you long time! The damn plenum is captured which is a pain because you cant just run whatever length bolts in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bestlowrida Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Ive had bad electrical issues with my sr20det in my s13 with the stock harness so I was wondering if dropping the $500 on the wiring specialties harness rb20det will be worth it? I don't want to stranded due to some electric gremlins from the 20 yr old harness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to stranded due to some electric gremlins from the 20 yr old harness. The rb20det harness I have from them is plug and play. The only wiring that has to be done on mine is tapping the harness into power and a few guages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizzurp Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 If your factory harness is chewed up and you don't want to rebuild it then sure, it's worth it. If yours is in good shape like mine, there is nothing wrong with using it. Mine has been great for 7 months now, not a single wiring issue so far.

bestlowrida Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Did you ever get that front facing intake plenum in? Been thinking of the ebay one too so I could use my stock clutch fan mostly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
