Hey all,

As some may have read from my other threads been having some issues with me car.

I think i have narrowed the issue to some kind of a resistor or something from the injector wiring?

Pics are attached below.

Anyone able to tell me what it is? What it does?

And most important how do i go abouts fixing it?

Will i require brand new wiring for whole of injector plugs or can i get it soldier back on? etc...

Can a mechanic shop fix it or electrical shop?

I believe my injector is not working atm because of this!?

Any information will help! Thanks.

I am guessing its and RB20 motor with low impedance injectors? The part in question is a 10W resistor and there will no doubt be one for each injector. I am guessing someone felt it was easier (and definitely cheaper) to simply buy some resistors from Dick Smith than a dropping resistor pack from a GTR.

Yes, you can buy a replacement from Dick Smiths or Jaycar and wire it in although personally I believe the dropping resistor pack from a GTR is a much neater alternative.

Cheers

refer to my tut about gtr injector wiring.

Instead of a resistor ballast, the previous person may have wired individual resistors (if thats what the picture is showing)

yes.. each injector has the white rectangular resistor as in the picture.

because the one pictured is broken.. would that be the cause of my #6 cyclinder not working as the injector wouldn't be squirting?

so what's the best and easiest solution?

Rekin: i had a look at your post.. pardon me being a dumbass.. LOL.. i don't quiet get what needs to be done there! "-_-

thanks guys!

Easiest solution would be to pop down to your local dick smith/jaycar etc and pick up an identical resistor and solder it into place.

Personally i'd track down a gtr resistor pack (can be bought new from Just Jap i think) and replace all the individual resistors with it. It would be a neater and probably more reliable option. Those individual resistors would surely be getting quite warm?

i got the car they way it is now so... i would agree that they would be getting hot but the car has been fine for the time i've had it.. even taken it up to bulla with no probs.

recently i pulled the AAC and Air Reg off to clean and i musta bumped the resistor by accident and musta snapped off.

SILLY QUESTION but how easy/how do you get the wires/plugs out so i can put a new resistor on? can't reach it as it's the last cylinder and down between the plenum or what every you call it and engine.

Provided you buy the correct resistor with appropriate wattage (10W shown in the photo) you should have now problems. I am guessing the resistor is a 12ohm, 10W resistor. Best to check the resistance on one of the other resistors or simply take it to Dick Smith and ask them to give you the same item.

If it is the standard plug you will need to get a screw driver on the metal spring retaining clip and gently lever it up to release the plug.

Cheers

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
