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

    • how do you know voltage is fine?  quick easy test is connect DMM up and put it on max/min mode, remove fuel pump fuse, crank car for 3-5s, go check min voltage You'd be surprised how many "healthy" batteries are showing under 10v during this test in cold weather. 
    • Not properly. You need to be able to dissipate 100 amps or so to doing it meaningfully. You can do it indirectly by watching to see how far the voltage falls during cranking. Unplug the coils or something else to prevent it from starting so you can get a good couple or three chugs. It also helps if you have the multimeter set up reading before you start, and that it has max/min functions. So you can catch the real minimum without having to watch the screen, which often doesn't update fast enough to show the real max/min in dynamic situations. Or use a digital oscilloscope, which can be obtained for <<$100 from Aliexpress (although I'd argue for paying up to ~$200 for a nicer one). A >4 yr old battery will very likely be well down the path to the knackery. Many only last 5-6 years these days. The cold weather lately will definitely make it worse.
    • Hmmm, what do you mean by getting weaker? And where did you get that test done? I've been wondering about my battery because the cold starts crank super slowly. The voltage is fine. Not sure if cranking amps can be checked at home. Battery is 4+ years old.
    • No. The simplest wastegate hookup, with no solenoid or other form of "boost control" (ie, control over your boost control, if you know what I mean) is a single hose, direct from the turbo outlet/hot pipe, straight and only to the wastegate actuator. It is that pressure signal that drives the wastegate to open, providing the boost control (and by "boost control" here, I mean, limiting how high it can go, which is essentially the spring pressure of the actuator). You only end up with tee pieces and alternate flow paths once you start adding things to the boost control system to allow you to determine how much of that boost signal makes it to the actuator. There are so many ways to do that that there is no single way to run the hoses and tees and the like. If you have a stock boost solenoid, then all it does is either allow all the boost signal to go to the actuator, or open up to allow some of it to bleed off. There needs to be a restriction in that bleeder to allow only a small amount to bleed off. And in a stock system, that would then be plumbed back to the turbo inlet (for "emissions control" reasons). That is actually what that nipple on your BOV return pipe could/would be for. If you have an aftermarket boost controller and solenoid, then the above is mostly true, but there is no need for a restrictor in the bleed, because the solenoid is pulse width modulated to create a variable bleed off. The air that escapes from the bleed can either be vented, or also returned to the turbo inlet. For emissions reasons it should be returned to inlet, but the amount of air being vented is so small that it really doesn't matter (either from an emissions perspective, or from an air-fuel ratio affecting perspective).
    • And other times you just need to go buy bigger injectors?
