My plugs from my harness that connect to my stnadard injectors will not fit the keyway on any of the "direct fit" upgrade injectors!

Is it mandatory to replace the electrical connectors/plugs on the RB20DET when you upgrade the injectors?

Will the plugs from a RB25/26 fit the upraded injectors?

All the injectors I have seen and also the ones I have will not direct fit onto the standard plugs??

This includes Nismo/Sard and Bosch. The standard keyway/ locator is offset and all the larger injectors are center keyways/ locators and are on both top and bottom, standard only on the top.

Any advice appreciated.??

Take a injector down to repco, they should have new plugs to fit them then solder the new plugs on.

i changed all the plugs on mine when i did the upgrade and i think the new plugs were about $35 for all 6

Dont forget the High / Low Impedance issue as well.

You need resistor packs for the Low Imp units.

I fitted RX7 550cc inj. my RB20 and just cut out the key in the sockets so a straight fit on with std plugs.

After being to just jap today I have found that the GTR is the only harness with the same plugs as the large capacity/ low impedance injectors so if you plan on throwing in GTR injectors you will have the same plug issue. Almost impossible to get a hold of GTR plugs as they do not want to seperate from the harness. (fair enough!)

Repco sounds like the go, thanks for the tips.

Be warned if anyone else is planning to put GTR injectors or aftermarket upgrade injectors in you will have to change the plugs. I found that RB25 plugs are different again to both the RB20 and GTR. CA18 seems to carry the necessary plugs for the conversion. Only going on what I saw at just jap today.

I am aware of the resistor pack needed, to change from 14ohms to 2.5ohms.

Rgds, Grippy.

If you wanted you could file the offset locater pin off the injector so the plugs will fit, or slice a slot in the top of the plug to accept the pin on injector, but i think thats starting to get a bit rough lol, better off with new plugs.

I ended up getting new plugs from Repco. Part no. BK402 and these are a perfect fit. Cost about $16 for a pack of 2. Just crimped them on, now it's sweet.

Just have to wire in the resistor pack and I 'm good to go.

Bringing this thread back. I've just pulled my stock injectors out of my RB20 and i have a set of pink Nismo 555cc injectors to put in (p/n 16600-RR420) but the plug on the injectors are different. Being a Sunday, no where is open to buy new plugs, so i wanted to know if anybody here actually has just filed the locator pin on the injectors or modifyed the plug to fit?

Isn't that what people normally do when fitting GTR injectors to RB20's (slice the locating tab off)?

    • ...just a note of warning, you shouldn't drive it about with the TCU in limp mode with only 3rd gear available ~ apart from the fact you end up sheering the ATF at the torque converter interface, the high clutch in these isn't especially the strongest, particularly bolted to the RB25DE mill...which is likely a 4AX01 box with lighter duty high clutch (the RB25DET got the bigger high clutch)...be careful out there...
    • Hoping to do similar mods to my RB20 once I get it running and reliable again
    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
