Will I need to fit a resistor pack to raise the impedance of the GTR injectors? or will they work fine on the rb20 ecu with nistune?

I still have the rb20 loom and fairly sure the rb20 ignition system as well (car is an R32). Currently it is all run off a wolf3d V4 which I imagine has impedance matching drivers but I want to upgrade to a nistune (it is a rubbish ecu and wont pass an inspection).

Anyone know?

Thanks :P

On a stock ECU you will need the resistor pack.

I believe with a NISTUNE you also need a resistor pack.

My mates RB20 had gtr injectors running of a nistune and that had a resistor pack.

Unless you can get it setup for low impedence

I found someone with stock injectors, fuel rail and fuel reg so Im gonna install the lot. I will just leave my waste gate unbolted so that the car doesn't boost and lean out Once I pass the inspection I'll put it all back with a resistor pack.

Can anyone detail how to make a resistor pack and how I should install it ?

Thanks again. :P

I considered making my own resistor pack ( being an auto elec), but for like $100 its easyer to just buy one.

Im unsure what sort of Power(watts) they consume and have never felt a GTR pack after a thrashing to see weather they get hot.

To make one that can supply 6 injectors, and not generate heat, also keeping the overall size as small as possible might not be easy.

If you use formula P=IxV you can work out what sort of Wattage resistor you need to decipate the heat, providing you have the voltage and current. say on average it would be 13v, but i have no idea what current will be flowing.

Then get someone to measure the resistance of the resistors in a GTR pack and you will find out what resistors you need.

If that makes sence?

But hey give it ago if you want.

I'm actually a computer systems engineer so I am sure I could make one, just need to know the specs if anyone has them. If it is only $100 I might just buy a set though, anyone know who sells them?

Look through the forsale thread. I have heard you can get them new. and from memory the price wasnt too rude.

If you end up wanting to make one i can get you the specs as i have 1 sitting in the shed.

If you could that would be tops, can't be too hard, just be 6 massive 5w resistors surely ?

Have a read through here on how I installed the resistor pack.

Thanks for that, what is the 'ballast' resistor? Do you know how many ohms it needs to be and how many watts it should be rated to? Also why have you seperately wired it to each injector, couldn't you just cut the red wire and put it inline with it?

Thanks :)

The ballast resistor is the GTR resistor pack. Which has 1 voltage input and 6 injector outputs.

The red wire (12v power) also provides power to other parts in the engine (from what i remember?) so thats why you have to find the actual 12v wire for each injector. As shown in the picture, a wire splits off the red line which then powers three injectors.

If you are going down the resistor path, I believe you just wire the resistor inline with each 12v injector wire. The tricky bit is determining which one is the 12v from the 2 wires running to each injector connector. My method is to use a multimeter to find the 12v instead of stripping the whole loom to find it.

There is another thread on this forum which explains which resistors are needed from jaycar.

Hope the above makes sense? haha

Yeah it does I just wasn't sure exactly what the 'GTR resistor pack' was, and if I was to make my own what ohmage and power rating the resistors need to be. I will do a search for this thread you mentioned.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂

      Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
