Aftermarket ECU Compatibility with your RB25DET NEO OBDII Harness
For those seeking even greater control and performance, this Pro Series harness can be customized to work seamlessly with aftermarket ECUs.
- Customization Options: Wiring Specialties offers customization to ensure your PRO harness fits your exact build requirements with aftermarket ECUs. A downloadable ECU/Build details form is available for submission with your order to specify your needs.
- Wideband O2 Sensor Support: AEM Infinity, Link, and ECU Masters products (among others) can process wideband signal input directly. For these systems, the LSU 4.2 version of the WB O2 Sensor is recommended. Options for Oval or Rectangular connectors are available to match your WB O2 sensor.
- ECUs without Direct Wideband Processing: For ECUs that cannot directly process wideband signals, the harness is wired for a FACTORY O2 sensor, and a labeled flying lead is provided for connecting the ECU to a Wideband controller (like AEM UEGO Gauge Kit or Haltech CAN wideband unit).
- Pre-wired Sensors for Advanced ECUs: Harnesses for AEM Infinity, Motec, Link, and ECU Masters are pre-wired for direct Oil Pressure, Fuel pressure, Oil Temp, IAT, and MAP sensor wiring to the ECU. Flex Fuel support and ECU control of a Boost Control Solenoid are also available on most harnesses.
- Apex’i PFC Considerations: Apex’i PFC conversions include the IAT sensor in the main harness, while the MAP sensor is wired separately. The MAP sensor harness should be purchased with the PFC.
FAQ & Other Important Details for RB25DET NEO OBDII Harness Users
- Alternator Charge Cable: Improves power routing by directly connecting the starter/battery to the alternator output, eliminating the traditional wire run to the fusebox or battery.
- ECU Patch Harness (Optional): Avoid cutting into your engine harness for accessories. This optional item provides a length of wire between the harness plug and ECU for easy installation of air-fuel meters, boost controllers, and more.
- Grounding Kit (Optional): Ensures optimal grounding by connecting engine components to the car body, eliminating potential ground-related issues. Utilizes ultra-high temp fiberglass sleeving for installation near exhaust components.
- Speedo / Tach Signal Conditioning (Optional): Dakota Digital SGI-5 (Speed) and SGI-8 (Tach) units can be added to compensate for cross-platform swaps or changes in cylinder counts, ensuring accurate gauge readings.
- Plug-n-Play vs Universal: This Pro-Series harness is Plug-n-Play, connecting to your car’s underhood fuse box and under-dash connectors for gauges. Universal harnesses have ‘flying leads’ for gauges and warning lights and do not require fuse box connections.
- Right Hand Drive (RHD) Conversions: Harness selection depends on the chassis connectors used during your RHD swap. Contact us for modifications if a mix of LHD and RHD connectors were used.
- Don’t See Your Option? Contact us for custom options regarding injectors, throttle bodies, coilpacks, or other components.
- Battery Cables / Battery Relocation: Ensure proper battery cable connection from the positive terminal to the starter main power lug, as this cable also powers the under-hood fuse box.
- LS2/LQ9 GM V8 Coil Pack Conversions (Optional): Upgrade to high-performance and readily available LS2/LQ9 Smart Coils. Eliminates the ignitor chip and uses mounting kits (MOJO Performance) for easy installation on JZ or RB engines.
