The 5.5-6.8ohm resistors are the ones to use.

10W is fine providing you mount them to a metal box and mount the pack outside of the engine bay (as the origional gtr resistor pack is)

Reason being is when the resistors get hot they don't perform as they should.

So even with the propper GTR resistor pack in a GTST you shouldn't mount it inside the engine bay.

I prefer to use the 15w+ watt resistors encased in a heatsink.

So the MR30 dropping resistor will do the same job as the GTR one?

I measured one I had lying around and it was 6.8 ohms.

Doesn't the R32 gtst power fc have 440cc injectors as an option on the injector menu?

Does that mean they anticipate people using GTR injectors as an upgrade?

I can't read my Jap manual so I can't tell what they consider safe impedence.

I'd sure hate to toast those transistors.

There is no option for selecting injector types.

There is only a trim. Inside the PFC it has stored the stock injector values, you then either do an overall trim or change every cell in the map to achieve the correct afr's.

The issue with an overall trim is you often run out of adjustment via the pfc. From memory 1.4? is the most you can adjust to. If making a lot of power and using a trim this WILL cause problems.

The only propper way to do it is do a complete fuel map tune with no trimming.

OK, so the bit in the manual with injector sizes just shows you how to calculate trims?

eg. 270cc / 440cc =.6136

Will it cope with that until I get a full tune?

So the MR30 dropping restistor (6.8 ohms) will do the the job with the pfc and gtr injectors?

A 6.8oHm in series with the ~2oHm of the injector, at 12V will draw 1.36A.

So at 1.36A the 6.8oHm will dissipate 12.577 Watts.

I've done the calcs and had a read of the resistor specs.

The 10w is ok and the resistors will handle it, I believe there's another bloke on SAU running 10w and a few over at SDU, you wouldn't want them getting hot, though. I wouldn't do it. :D

The injectors see a little more than 12v. More like 13.8v, I use the 25w Aluminium Housed Resistors to be on the safe side.

Also remember that you aren't running at 100% duty either , so the current flow will be at a reduced ratio following along with the duty cycle of the injector. (unless you are right on the edge..)

Better to be safe than sorry though.

I wired in 10watt, 10 ohm resistors in series with each injector, they are all taped up along the fuel rail, they have been working fine for the past 2 weeks, mine dont see much heat because where they sit the fan blows air straight down the fuel rail, im yet to measure their temps though with the infra thermometer.

Why you must run a resistor pack.

Those looking for the R30 resistor pack; its located behind the strut on the passenger side. Very easy to see. Be sure you grab the complete plug (male and female) with some wire to spare.

digging up old threads again :D

I have just installed GTR injectors and used 10watt resistors from farnell. they are 6.8ohm and are wire wound with heatsinks. I picked them because they are rated to 275deg c. the part number is 950-8015

find them here:

CLICKY CLICKY

they cost about $28 for 6 :P

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
