Resistor box with aftermarket injectors?

Hey guys,

I have a Rb20det in throwing some 444cc Deatschwerks injectors into. My question is do I have to unplug the injector resistor box on the passenger side of the engine bay or should I leave it in? Thanks for any help

Depends on the resistance of the injectors. If they're near stock like 2-3 ohms then you need them. If they're 12 ohm injectors you have to bypass the resistor box.

Go to the Deatschwerks website plug in the injector part number and all will be revealed.

RB20DET stock injectors are high impedance. RB26DETT stock injectors are low impedance. Guess which one had the resistor box.

Use a multimeter, done.

 

My point (as quoted above) was that there are no resistors in the injector circuit on an RB20. Repeat, there IS NOT A 6 PACK OF IMPEDANCE MATCHING RESISTORS, such as is found on RB26s. RB20 injectors are high impedance. Nearly all modern injectors are also. Therefore, there is no reason to change anything when putting new injectors on an RB20.

The silver box resistor on the LHS suspension tower, stamped JECS 15-000J01 is the fuel pump dropping resistor. People always ask what that is.

WOW! That's what i thought it was and a SHOP!!!! was telling me it was for the injectors...... wow, i got so confused.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      So I actually had the cover off my car today, here is a (bad) pic of the setup. I have an oil cooler thermostat block, the temp sender is straight in there. The pressure sender has a short AN line to a T piece which is mounted (hopefully cable tied counts as mounted....) on the chassis. BTW every fitting you could ever imagine exists....just depends what they cost and how many you need. Raceworx AN adapters are here: https://raceworks.com.au/fittings/adapters/, I think you said you need BSPT to AN (https://raceworks.com.au/fittings/adapters/bsp/tapered/an-to-bspt-adapters/) and AN to NPT (https://raceworks.com.au/fittings/adapters/npt/) BTW, braided line is super simple to make. It looks intimidating, is not.

      Perfect day for a pie, really needs a soft top in this weather though

      I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?

      Anyone running the VQ37VHR with forced induction?

      I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
