hey guys

Okay so looking for abit of feedback and advice on this one.

(rb26 from r32)

So the rb26 standard runs 440/444cc low impedance injectors with a standard resistor box inline.

On my setup/build I have installed/upgraded the injectors and rail, and am now running 1000cc low impedance injectors, and also

full wire in aftermarket ecu. so we arent using any of the standard wiring to the engine itself obviously,

So what im wondering, is it possible to just wire in and use the old resistor box for the new setup? And if not why is this so.

Or shall i need to install aftermarket resistors and calculate to accomadate the feed?

I am aware that some aftermarket stand alone ecu's have the option built in to switch for low/high impedance, but in this case

what im using doesnt.

I figure it would be alot cheaper,quicker easier to wire in the old box, then to make sa resister panal up and mount it, (preferably in cabin away from the heat.

thanks

Depending on which ECU you have chosen, you won't need the resister block.

Most aftermarket ECUs will peak hold injectors for low imp etc

Make sure the injectors are low inpedance.

I had a set yesterday from' five o' from ebay that are high impedance and i actually had to remove the resistor box.

If u need to leave the resistor box in due to low inpedance than its as simple as changing the injector plugs to suit ur new injectors

okay thanks

Yeah im running a g4 LINK ecu, they will require the resistors.

yeah we ran a meter across the injectors to check the impedance.

Thanks Dan, i actually had my oil pump fitted with the new billet gear by you guys, and bought some oil restrictors from you about a year ago :)

yeah i have the stock resistor pack in the old loom, so hopefully i can just wire that in instead of making a new resistor block

Yes it will be very simple to wire in.

Its simply 12V into the resistor and then theres 6 power wires to run, 1 to each injector

    • If you've wired up the coils & injectors properly, & have the neo CAS loom for the trigger, it should all work. The VCT works the same way so just different plugs between s1 & neo. Assuming DBW if no IAC. Don't bother with the stock boost solenoid with g4x.
    • THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.
    • Light should be a pressure switch, not a sensor.
    • The pressure light likely has a different sender to a pressure gauge, its been too long for me to remember for sure. Just have a look for another sender down near the oil filter. If you are confident in your rewired pressure sender reading correctly, you can be pretty sure it is just the dash light's sender failing, it is a pretty common thing.
