hey i got a rb20det just got the ecu chiped and with my injectors apparently i have to run a ballast resistor all i know about the injectors is they came in a hks computer and injector pack they are 550cc and say denso on the side the injector impedance is about 2-3 ohms...and if i use them without the resistor it will fry the ecu?

6.8 ohm 15watt ballast resistor sound right?

also have a custom twinfeed fuel rail will the stock fuel pressure regulator be alrite?

rb20det

-fmic

-pod

-bov

-hks adjustable cam gears

-550cc injectors

- twin 10mm lines from tank (stock fuel line is used as a return)

-gtr fuel pump set up externally

-rb25det turbo high flowed with a vl .60 front cover (built to hold 22psi)

-3.5" dump 3" cat back

-q45 afm

-18psi

aim is 350rwhp but am expecting anywhere from 300rwhp up

its a r32 gts-4 should i run it on the dyno is 4wd or rwd?

also what does it have more hp in? ive had it on the dyno completely stock in rwd and get 175.4 rwhp

cheers vance

I think 10 ohm is more on the money. At least 10 Watt as well.

I don't do hp but have seen a 20 run 260rwkw as a stock short engine. It was backed off for a little longevity.

All the Nissans run with 5.5-6ohm resistor packs as do a lot of other cars that I know of. Honda, Mazda etc.

I picked up a R30 Skyline's resistor pack for next to nothing.

I did a few calcs a while back, from memory it turned out I required some where around 17w resistors.

Good 17w 6 ohm resistors are difficult to get at a reasonable price. A total of 6 worked out to nudge close to $100.

Grab an R30 or 280ZX resistor pack from the local wreckers, much cheaper and the resistors are designed for the purpose. :O

The male plug can be purchased from your local autostore for ~$2.95, the less soldering required the better.

I wouldn't be reving or driving the car if your not running a resistor pack, it WILL cause the injector drivers to fry and worse case catch fire. It 'may' be ok on idle and at low rev's but mid to high rpm and your most definitely asking for trouble.

Be safe, just dont drive it until its sorted.

IF you decide to go separate resistors here's what 'should' be used.

Remember thats in USD.

Attached below is a pic of my R30 resistor pack. Looks the same as the GTR item just with a different plug.

yeah they are out of a toyota and ive got the plugs sorted i really need to get it goin by the weekend so il see if i can get my hands on the r30 resistor pack seems like the way to go thanks heaps for all the help everyone especially cubes

cheers vance

As a rule of thumb if you're using a JECS or Denso injector and have to change the plug then the unit is of a different impedance. The best way to check is to use a multimeter and test the resistance.

hey cubes, have you got a pic of what the resistors look like without the cover on top of it?

i brought a resistor packing thinking it had covered and when it turned up i was missing them, so i want to confirm whats happening

GTS25t injectors are 11.5 ohm

Geoff, am I right to guess that RB20DET (R32) injectors are the same resistance as the R33 RB25 ones? and the only difference being the wey they feed into the engine? Ive never sat them side by side...

cheers

    • I just got to work and skimmed through 61508 and 61511. I was surprised the CSA adopted both, but neither are enforced. To recap what I read, it states that in a perfect world, they should be segregated but they acknowledge that this is not industry standard and clearly mention that they allow mixing of safety and non-safety. 61511 also mentions software segregation like AB does in their safety PLC's.   Now if only I could go back to control, let alone safety over comms. In my current line of work, we're only allowed monitoring and basic control over comms. Everything critical must still be hard wired as much as possible. 
    • I've unfortunately never been as they're on the complete other side of the continent and another country that isn't currently letting us in as easily as they use to. I even heard their stop signs over there actually say "Stop" instead of "Arret". If I decided to trek the 48h drive, I wouldn't know when or where to stop haha. Whenever I order parts from UP Garage, I order from Japan as it's cheaper. Same with GKTech... oddly enough, it's cheaper shipped from Australia then it is the US.  UP Garage Japan operates their US leg though, unlike Tomei. If Tomei JPN had the power to close down Tomei USA, I'm sure it would be done in a day. They're two completely separate entities. Tomei JPN messed up somewhere originally agreeing to its creation and got sacked big time. 
    • I asked someone about this and he told me about the Audi 1.8T engine. But I think it would be difficult to swap
    • I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.
    • SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.
