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.

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

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.

      GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.

      Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣

      I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).

      Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
