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?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
