Cant remember if ive posted it in here before;

This is the method I came up with for the GTR injector wiring. Much easier than the explained method in this thread!

Pretty much, find the common 12v wire using a multimetre and wire directly off the plug. Saves the effort of stripping back all the wiring etc

thanks rekin!!yeah thats a top diagram..

i'm not using the gtr ballast resistor just 6 individual resistors..

so pretty much just putting the resistors on the positive wire before each injector.

or rolls, you think it shouldn't matter either on pos or neg.?could you explain?

cheers!

What a resistor does is it causes a voltage drop and hence drops the current flowing through the circuit, as the current is the same for all elements in a loop (battery > injector driver > injector > resistor > battery ground) and the aim is to lower the current to stop the injector driver burning out it doesn't matter where in the circuit it is placed, it will have exactly the same effect.

also. when fitting the actual injector.did people remove the O ring on the bottom of the gtr injector, so the fuel rail can screw in all the way (the gtr injectors seem real tight)?

there already is a rubber seal in the head of the rb20, because the stock injectors dont have this O ring attached to the injector itself.

ok i'm putting r32 gtr injectors into my rb25det & i've noticed the bigger/bottom O rings on the engine side (NOT the fuel rail side), the O ring hole is to large for the injector to sit in place! so what O rings should i use the rb20 or gtr O rings?

cheers luke

You also need an aftermarket fuel rail as they are top fee, I got some custom spacers machined up personally for the bottom so they would fit.

yeah thats already done. just trying to work out ow to get them to fit properly.... what did your spacers look like? can you pm me a pic by any chance?

It's some really fancy fabric electrical tape that my auto-eleccy mate gave me.

I grouped them into 2 layers of 3 resistors, cut some ally to use as spacers/heatsinks. Ally spacers on the bottom, in between and on top of the resistors. Used thermal paste between it all and taped either end and longitudinally with the fabric tape (also acts as a damper to take up the minimal slack between the assembly and the case) then thermal pasted the exposed ally top and bottom so that the case can be used as a heat sink too.

I was quite concerned with the assembly moving around and any exposed wires contacting the case (hello fire). The fat power feed to the resistors I stripped back quite far, split it into two and ran three resistors to each with all exposed wire heat shrunk all the way to the resistors.

I have made a new loom just for the power feeds to the injectors, just need to extend the original injectors earths and then crimp the plugs on. My autoleccy mate sourced me some brand new Bosch plugs with seals and boots to suit the GTR injectors and let me borrow his terminal crimper :D

hey mate ive just acquired some 33gtr injectors to go into my rb20 what resisters did you use? as i want to make one as well.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
