Just wondering if anyone has been able to run GTR injectors in a RB20 without running the dropping resistor???

Reason i ask is that there is a topic on NS.com at the moment with a bloke stating he is running GTR injectors in his RB20 and not running the resistor pack as he is using a PFC...

Now i'll be buggered if i can find anywhere in the PFC settings where i can change the impedance of the injectors within the menu's so i dont have to run the resistor pack nor can i find any other information (on SAU or the net) that clarifies it can/has been done :worship:

Can anyone else shed any light on this as im keen if it can be done and how as it would save many of us RB20 owners with a cheap injector mod as its the ballast resistor pack that is the hard thing to come by ;)

Cheers GMB

You dont have to run the resistor pack

BUT you DO have to run resistors inline to each injector

I realise you dont have to run the GTR ballast but it is required like you said, the person has stated that he is not running any resistors and that it has been changed within the PFC settings.

A resistor pack can be easily made for about $10

Which is what was done on my first 32 ;)

My question isn't about running a GTR ballast or making your own, its if you can get away with not running a resistor at all???

It is possible to start and run the GTR low imp injectors on the rb20 remaped ecu or RB20 pfc without a resistor pack.

BUT.... As rpms increase you most certianly stuff/overheat the injector drivers. Its a matter of WHEN not IF.

First you will smell a little electrical burning smell then the car will die and you will be left stranded with a stuffed extremely rare rb20 pfc. ;)

Got a link to this thread on ns.com; keen to check it out?

Which is exactly what i thought Cubes, i just thought i may of missed something though in my searching over the last 5 years ;)

Check here for link :worship:

The microtech's injector drivers are suitable for both high and low imp injectors without a dropping resistor.

The std ecu and powerfc does not.

The PFC is a glorified (knock display, increased load points, faster processor) real time remappable std ecu.

    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.

    • PROBLEM WAS BROKEN COOLANT SENSOR!!! Replaced with a new one and its running mint.
    • I think he was only proposing to use the wire, not the sender. Simply because it runs from the right place to the right place. Personally, I wouldn't hack up the factory wiring like that. I'd just lay in the Defi loom.
