Homemade Gtr Ballast Resistor?

[wlspn]

I am planning on fitting GTR injectors to my 32 GTST but am having trouble chasing up a ballast resistor. I have heard before of homemade devices being made, consisting simply of 6x10ohm resistors. Has anyone done this or does anyone have any information? Also at what power level do std RB20 injectors need replacing? I have heard stories mentioning anywhere from 170-250 rwkw. I do not want to do them unnecessarily at this stage. I am aiming for 200kw

yeah you couid. but youd have to use big ceramic ones. and then somehow find a plug

[RedDrifter]

All you need to do is buys 6 high quality ceramic 7-10 ohm resisters from farnell and solder them in series with the injector driver outputs on the ecu loom. I did this for both my brother r32 and my r32 and neither have had issues.

I soldered the resistors just past the ecu plug in the cabin. Works a treat. Farnell resistors they are alot smaller than the jaycar ceramic ones so installation is easer and neater.

I'll look up the part number tonight and post it then.

Orrrr.... you could just buy a genuine nissan one for like $80..........

(second hand)

I'm really looking for a secondhand Nissan item. Just all of the ones ive seen have been pretty highly priced. ($150+) Backyarder is my second option to cut cost...

I can sell you one for $80+post, how urgent do you want it?

Not actually in any mad rush now. Was planning to fit injectors before next tune but due to overspending on other items its not going to happen now. Aiming for about 200rwkw & a lot of people seem to be making that on stock injectors pretty easily... Like to keep things on the safe side but so will definitely keep it in mind.

im making 191rwkw, and have only upped my fuel pressure from 38psi to 50psi. i have seen the option 1 garage drift car make 228rwkw on standard injectors

only?? that means at 16 psi, you are running 77psi of fuel pressure, hope you have a good pump

Ive done the resistor mod, they are smalll small resistors that you solder into the line just before the injector, been running it for a while now with a drift day included and havent had one problem, simply threw them onto the common wire (white with black stripe), roy does a DIY on this forum....

You may aswell upgrade to gtr items now if your planning big mods down the track

$25 delivered VS $170 2nd hand is a big improvement
