Rb26 Injector Ballast - Where Do I Plug It In On Rb26 Loom?

[Phat_Toni]

Hey guys,

Just finishing off wiring my 26 into my r31. I cannot fuigure out where the plug for the Injector ballast is on the 26 loom. I know its an 8 pin, im thinking that maybe my loom might be missing it?

Im scratching my head in the shed now so any replies would be helpfull

Thanks guys

It's near the relay box and the plug for the factory boost control solenoid behind the right hand headlight. It actually mounts to the same bracket as the boost control solenoid so the plug should be near that.

Thats the plug your after.

Thanks heaps mate, I just spent ages trying to find out what was going on.

Is the plug apart of the body loom? or the engine loom? ive got the ballast here but nowhere to plug it into

would love to get this running tomorrow guys.

from what I understand, when putting an rb26 into a gts-t you still need to wire in the resistor ballast into the 26 loom?

I don't have a common power feed for my injectors like in the 20 loom (shown in the wiring up GTR injectors to rb20 tutorial). each injector wire seems to run separately.

Surely someone knows what im on about here

Thanks

In my car 260rs stagea which has all r33gtr running gear it is part of the body loom on the passenger side behind the headlight

Ballast resistor needs 1x power fed in and 6x out to each injector power wire. You will find the wiring at the end of the loom near the afm plugs.

What car is the loom out of? If it's a 32GTR then the plug is on the body loom where I pointed it out. It comes out of the relay box next to two white/blue stripe wires. And yes if your running stock GTR injectors you need the resistor.

Ballast resistor needs 1x power fed in and 6x out to each injector power wire. You will find the wiring at the end of the loom near the afm plugs.

Spot on. It is the other 8 pin plug coupled to the main 8 pin engine loom plug on the front side of the passenger strut tower. You will find one of the wires is the power feed to the injectors and the other 6 are the return from the ballast resistor. I cut the plug off the ballast resistor and add a mating plug to allow it to plug into the engine loom. This means you can mount the ballast resistor somewhere behind the passenger headlight in area which should get some air flow.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I ended up opening up the loom

Each injector has 2 wires going to it - 1 of my wires was a different colour than described in in the pin-out pdf floating around. This was throwing me out at first

The wires have silver dots stamped on them:

2 dots - signal from ecu

1 dot - power

Chopped all the 1 dot power wires and wired them into the ballast resistor, taped the unused ends up and hooked up 12+ Ign to the ballast

Fired up first time huge relief.
