Hey guys, as ive been told by numerous people, a cheap injector upgrade is to go the gtr injectors for the rb20s.. However ive been told u need the rb26 resistor pack to run these?

Can anyone confirm this and tell me why?

Ive come across a set but the previous owner had them on his 20 and said he wasnt using a resistor pack? Why?

Thanks,

Steve.

Its becuase the impedance of the 2 injectors differs:

RB20det is low impedance

RB26 is high impedance

The resistor pack lowers the impedance of the GTR injectors to match (as close as it can) that of the original injectors.

However this shouldn't effect the firing rate, its more to save the injector drivers on the ECU from burning out.

You don't need a resistor pack - i don't have one with my GTR injectors, but it would ensure the longevity of the ECU by having one.

Dont attempt to run it without the GTR resistor pack or properly set up resistors

I burnt out the injector driver in my new Power FC from stuffing up the resistors

Mine only lasted a couple of days before blowing...

Hopefully can be fixed and I will be back up and running soon

yes you can use the gtr injectors ..

but get ya self a resistor park from a 2.4e r30 skyline .. same resistor pack (gtr) diffrent plug .

and make sure they are cleaned and flow tested as most gtr injectors have been sitting so long the dont flow 444cc

You can also just wire the appropriate sized resistors into the loom, it's what people do when they either can't find a resistor pack or the chumps want too much for them. Have a search and you should find the type you need.

Has anyone done a DIY thread on doing it like that? I have had a good rearch but every result came back explaing how to use the GTR Resistor packs

I used 6 10ohm resistors from jaycar wired inline but it still somehow fried the injector driver in the ECU...

Well whaddaya know?! it was in the DIY/Tut section!

I used that exact guide originally however found using 5r6 ohm resistors worked best next to the ballast pack.

Then did away with that and the resistors altogether, my stock ECU has worked over a year with no resistors - go Nissan! :D

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
