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

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
