Hi all , I'm keen on a Vipec V44 for the daily but they are set up for saturated or high impedance injectors . The daily needs to run the old hose tail injectors but there doesn't seem to be much going in this type that are high impedance .

From what I read Vipec do a peak and hold injector driver box for the V44 but if obtainable the high impedance squirters would be easier .

The engine uses 225cc high imp injectors and I reckon something in the 370-460cc range should do the job , I gather the V44 is more than up to the task of running injectors of this size in an 1800cc turbo four .

Some sites claim that some of the NA RX7's used a high imp 460cc injector .

Also I've seen mention of people using dropping resistors when converting from high to low imp injectors , I believe it is workable but you don't get the advantage of a peak and hold system without peak and hold injector drivers in the computer .

Any help appreciated , cheers A .

They are both low impedance injectors like most turbo ones of the era . The only thing that may be suitable are the RX7 460cc high impedance ones - series 4 I think .

It's looking like the peak and hold injector driver box that ViPec can supply is the cheapest option , it opens up a wide range of low impedance squirters so easier to tailor the injectors to the application .

Cheers A .

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
