Hi Everyone,

Mate of mine has built a 1000hp rb26dett and is in the process of installing it into his r32 gts...currently he is nutting out the loom and electrical side of things and wanted to know if he needed to run the factory resistor pack for the injectors? Not sure what injectors he is running, obviously something big enough to support 1000hp :P...if its important I will ask him and post it up.

Thanks to anyone that can help. :ninja:

Cheers!

Depends entirely on the ECU he is using and the type of injector drivers that ecu has.

Ecu's that can drive low impedance injectors without a resistor pack can potentially run lower pulse widths as the injector driving current is controlled more precicely. Most if not all big injectors are low impedance and would require a resistor pack if your using a power fc or something simular.

Hi GTRNUR,

He is using a Link Plus G3 ECU to run Siemens Deka 850cc injectors, here's an excerpt from the ECU manual on injector drives:

The LinkPlusG3 has eight independant injector drives allowing sequential, sequential staged, group and group staged fuel injectors.
These injection drives are designed to be used with high impedance injectors, injector ballast resistors must be wired if low impedance injectors are to be used.

So I guess he just needs to find out if the Siemens injectors he is running are low or high impedance, if they are low then use the factory resistor pack?

Cheers!

Turns out my mate wants to try and accomplish this a bit cheaper and make the resistor pack himself, does anyone know what resistors he will need and how many? (one per injector maybe?)

He's found a place in the US that sells the factory resistor packs for about $180 (not sure if AU$ or US$), does anyone have good condition one for sale that he might go instead? Otherwise I think he'll try and go the above mentioned route to save some $.

Cheers!

Not directly related but I was speaking to Ray Hall this morning about ViPec V44's and peak and hold injector drivers .

ViPec market a peak and hold driver box for the V44 because it comes with low current high impedance injector drivers .

I'm not sure if Link do them and the real question is whats cheapest , large high impedance injectors or peak and hold ones with the driver box .

They can be sourced new from Nissan or plenty of second hand ones or he can get one from a wrecker out of a MR30 (exactly the same as the gtr ones) or make up his own.

I used a gtr resistor pack the first time and made up my own the second time (purchased the 10ohm resistors from Jaycar) the ones you are after are the LARGE 10W/10ohm resistors and roughly $2 each :D

Hey Mate

I purchased a 6 ballast resistor pack for NZ$105 from NZEFI: http://www.nzefi.com/

I think Link themselves sell them for around that price too whick would work out to around AU$85+ Shipping

Probably just as easy to get the Vipec one as they should be around the same price

Good luck

Dan

    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
