I've searched around for quite a while and have not found any information on the RB into S14 swap. So i will put info into this thread and others should also contribute. Then i will post all the information that i have gathered (with the contributors permission) to my website.i have a '96 S14 and i have an RB20DET currently mounted into it with the driveline hooked up. I'm using the KA lower harness and the RB engine harness. All i have left is the wiring of the RB engine harness into the KA ddash harness. I don't know what all of it is, but it includes the fuel pump and other very important engine related things. If anyone has any info....please post it here. When the swap is done, i will post all the info i find about wiring and the mechanics of the install. I'm not out to make money. I'm just out to get some cool swaps done. I will post pictures later tonight or tomorow.

thanks.

THERE ARE THREE WIRES YOU NEED TO SPLICE, THE FUEL PUMP TO THE RELAY OUT IN THE ENGINE BAY, THE TACH SENDER TO THE BACK OF THE TACH, AND THE WATER TEMP SENDER TO THE BACK OF THE WATER TEMP GAUGE.

i have to get power to the ECU through the RB harness, and run all the stuff from the 2 big square plugs on the RB harness. One is black and one is Grey.

i've traced out a few and found that the black one is useless... I'm trying to find out where the wires from the grey plug go. The S14 doesn't have the 2 oval plugs that are unused on the S13 chassis harness (brown and Grey i think). So i don't really know where to route these at the moment. Also..i have 3 extra plugs on the RB harness riht behind the ECU plug. they are so close to the ECU that they end up inside the car. I do't know what to do with those yet wither...i think they have to do with RB dash harness stuff.
