i have heard that a cheap and effective upgrade for the RB26 440cc injectors is a set of RX7 series IV 550cc injectors that fit striaght into the fuel rail..

there is a guy selling a set of 550cc injectors that are off a 13B turbo.. but he isnt sure what series they are from? without knowing what series, would it still be safe to assume that they would be suitable for use on an RB26 or not??

i think he said they were used on a VL turbo for a while if this helps?

thanks for any info.. :D

If they have a brown top they will be low impedence and suitable for drop in replacement.

If they have a pink/purple top they will be high impedence and will still work but you will need to remove the factory dropping resistor pack from the loom.

I cant remember part numbers off the top of my head but it really does come down to the colour of the plug as there are series 4 high imp injectors out there with low imp part numbers (i have a set) the difference is the plug colour.

cheers thanks for the info.. i think they have a brown top so looks all good, if they did happen to be high impedence tho is it a big job to remove the factory dropping resistot pack from the loom?? and after doing so would they then work exactly like low impedence injectors?? thanks agn..

they actually have purple top.... do u think its would be worth the effort to make them compatible? they are quite cheap.. or should i just save the time and effort it and look for some low impedence injectors?? is it an expensive/ inefficient process or simple??

cheers

Simple, all you are doing is chopping the wires either side of the resistor and connecting them back up.

You may need to modify the injector plug to fit the GTR plugs as the rx7 injector has an offset locating pin. All you need to do is file it flat.

Have heard people report these injectors failing in piston engines costing them there whole engine.

IMHO if your going to get injectors then get a set of SARD or Nismo or HKS or whatever bolts in. get 700cc - much better to run less then 70% inj duty with room for improvement.

I've run them for 6 months in an rb20 with no problems, it all come down to tuning. What i did notice was at idle and low revs on high vacuum i needed to add a bit of extra fuel for the car to run smoothly, otherwise no problems.

They are all single pintle top feeds after all. If we were talking rb25's it'd be a different story

The main thing is that they are cleaned and flow tested before installation.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
