Resistor pack doesnt need power from the battery, it drops the voltage from the ECU sees, so its just a matter of wiring the resistors between the injector and the ECU...see wiring diagram for R32 GTS/GTR.

I spliced into the wires just before each injector

The injectors need power from some where if you did it on a gtst the wires already have a power supply and the ecu earths the injectors but on a gtr the resistor pack supplys the power to the injectors and the pack requires power. At the moment I'm just taking it from the battery. Guess I'll keep my g/box for the moment but what clutchs are you guys using?

I take it you are reading off a wiring diagram. You are right. All the ECU does is open/close circuits that allow voltage to flow thru the injectors pulsing them open/closed.

If you look at the GTR resistor pack you will see that it has 7 wires. All you do is wire it in line with the existing line that branches off and feeds all 6 injectors. So the GTR resistor pack had 6 x blue wires , and one white (may have been white/black) So the white black wire of the resistor pack gets connected to the wire that supply voltage to all the injectors.

Then for each injector, you run one of the blue resistor pack wires to them in place where the original wire was.

Even if you made your own resistor pack, the principle is the same. A resistor doesnt need a voltage supply. V=IR (V=voltage, I= current, R= resistance) So by passing a voltage thru the resistor pack you are simply changing the voltage seen by the ECU.

If you connect the resistor directly to your battery that wont do anything, you need to wire it in line between the ECU->injector-> earth (i believe from memory it is earthed thru the ECU earth... if you wire it to the battery, what is switching the injector open/closed. The voltage needs to come from the ECU as it does the switching....but i think you know this already.

Where abouts are you in Melb? Im in Melb at the moment with work...

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
