sorry to dig up the thread but im about to do this mod as well once i find some r32 gtr injectors

but i dont know if i should use the gtr ballast resistor or make my own as everyone is saying the gtr resistor is 6.7ohm where as people are saying a 10ohm resistor is needed as stock rb20det injectors are 14ohm compared to gtr injectors which are 4ohm

should i get the gtr resistor or make my own?

Zennons car is still going strong with 10 ohm resistors. 6.7 to 10 ohms wont make much of a difference the resistors are just used for current limiting so you don't burn out the injector drivers in the ecu

awesome thread, for newbies, dont attemp unless ur mechanicly minded, i ended up sourcing a gtr resistor pack in the end and changed the injector plugs, bosch items, $12ea from burson/autopro/repco etc...... modifing the std plugs to suit was too tedious for me.. great thread again...

PLUG PART NUMBER

**BK402** - these are ACA not bosch.they are sold in a pack of 2 plugs with pigtail.

purchased at BURSONS.(they keep these in stock so no waiting)

works out about $9 cheaper (for a set of six) than the bosch's from what i found and the quick release pins seem much thicker on these.

hope that helps guys =D

Going to make up my own resistor pack, just confirming the resistors I need.

10Ohm and 10 watt should be sufficient?

I = V/R = 12/14 = 0.85Amp

P = VI = 12 * 0.85 = 10.3 Watt

Now being as we are operating under the engine bay where temps are ridiculous is a 10 watt resistor going to be sufficient? Or should I use two 5Ohm resistors in series?

Also how are you guys joining the wires in the engine bay, are you using high quality solder joins where you splay the wires together and then use heatshrink, or are you using crimp connectors? I figure my injectors are one of the most important parts of the engine so I want to do it properly, what would you guys recommend?

I have used Jaycar 7ohm ceramic resistors with no problems before. Their rectangular and about 3cm long from memory. From what I can recall the gtr's resistance is 7ohm in their pack.

Can somebody confirm the resistance?

I just soldered and heatshrinked everything with no probs for years.

Just read this, does this mean the GTR injectors technically need different driving circuitry to run optimally as they are peak and hold instead of constant current?

I'm guessing as nissan installed a resistor box in the GTRs from factory it is of no issue but probably means the injectors are not being operated optimally.

We used six 10 ohm 10 watt resistors in my car. Got a bread board from jaycar and a box which it fits in. Everything was soldered.

Thats what I think I will do with mine. Do they have boxes with screw terminals mounted in them? Or did you have to glue it all together?

    • 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.
