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

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
