hey i got a rb20det just got the ecu chiped and with my injectors apparently i have to run a ballast resistor all i know about the injectors is they came in a hks computer and injector pack they are 550cc and say denso on the side the injector impedance is about 2-3 ohms...and if i use them without the resistor it will fry the ecu?

6.8 ohm 15watt ballast resistor sound right?

also have a custom twinfeed fuel rail will the stock fuel pressure regulator be alrite?

rb20det

-fmic

-pod

-bov

-hks adjustable cam gears

-550cc injectors

- twin 10mm lines from tank (stock fuel line is used as a return)

-gtr fuel pump set up externally

-rb25det turbo high flowed with a vl .60 front cover (built to hold 22psi)

-3.5" dump 3" cat back

-q45 afm

-18psi

aim is 350rwhp but am expecting anywhere from 300rwhp up

its a r32 gts-4 should i run it on the dyno is 4wd or rwd?

also what does it have more hp in? ive had it on the dyno completely stock in rwd and get 175.4 rwhp

cheers vance

I think 10 ohm is more on the money. At least 10 Watt as well.

I don't do hp but have seen a 20 run 260rwkw as a stock short engine. It was backed off for a little longevity.

All the Nissans run with 5.5-6ohm resistor packs as do a lot of other cars that I know of. Honda, Mazda etc.

I picked up a R30 Skyline's resistor pack for next to nothing.

I did a few calcs a while back, from memory it turned out I required some where around 17w resistors.

Good 17w 6 ohm resistors are difficult to get at a reasonable price. A total of 6 worked out to nudge close to $100.

Grab an R30 or 280ZX resistor pack from the local wreckers, much cheaper and the resistors are designed for the purpose. :O

The male plug can be purchased from your local autostore for ~$2.95, the less soldering required the better.

I wouldn't be reving or driving the car if your not running a resistor pack, it WILL cause the injector drivers to fry and worse case catch fire. It 'may' be ok on idle and at low rev's but mid to high rpm and your most definitely asking for trouble.

Be safe, just dont drive it until its sorted.

IF you decide to go separate resistors here's what 'should' be used.

Remember thats in USD.

Attached below is a pic of my R30 resistor pack. Looks the same as the GTR item just with a different plug.

yeah they are out of a toyota and ive got the plugs sorted i really need to get it goin by the weekend so il see if i can get my hands on the r30 resistor pack seems like the way to go thanks heaps for all the help everyone especially cubes

cheers vance

As a rule of thumb if you're using a JECS or Denso injector and have to change the plug then the unit is of a different impedance. The best way to check is to use a multimeter and test the resistance.

hey cubes, have you got a pic of what the resistors look like without the cover on top of it?

i brought a resistor packing thinking it had covered and when it turned up i was missing them, so i want to confirm whats happening

GTS25t injectors are 11.5 ohm

Geoff, am I right to guess that RB20DET (R32) injectors are the same resistance as the R33 RB25 ones? and the only difference being the wey they feed into the engine? Ive never sat them side by side...

cheers

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
