Just wondering if anyone has been able to run GTR injectors in a RB20 without running the dropping resistor???

Reason i ask is that there is a topic on NS.com at the moment with a bloke stating he is running GTR injectors in his RB20 and not running the resistor pack as he is using a PFC...

Now i'll be buggered if i can find anywhere in the PFC settings where i can change the impedance of the injectors within the menu's so i dont have to run the resistor pack nor can i find any other information (on SAU or the net) that clarifies it can/has been done :worship:

Can anyone else shed any light on this as im keen if it can be done and how as it would save many of us RB20 owners with a cheap injector mod as its the ballast resistor pack that is the hard thing to come by ;)

Cheers GMB

You dont have to run the resistor pack

BUT you DO have to run resistors inline to each injector

I realise you dont have to run the GTR ballast but it is required like you said, the person has stated that he is not running any resistors and that it has been changed within the PFC settings.

A resistor pack can be easily made for about $10

Which is what was done on my first 32 ;)

My question isn't about running a GTR ballast or making your own, its if you can get away with not running a resistor at all???

It is possible to start and run the GTR low imp injectors on the rb20 remaped ecu or RB20 pfc without a resistor pack.

BUT.... As rpms increase you most certianly stuff/overheat the injector drivers. Its a matter of WHEN not IF.

First you will smell a little electrical burning smell then the car will die and you will be left stranded with a stuffed extremely rare rb20 pfc. ;)

Got a link to this thread on ns.com; keen to check it out?

Which is exactly what i thought Cubes, i just thought i may of missed something though in my searching over the last 5 years ;)

Check here for link :worship:

The microtech's injector drivers are suitable for both high and low imp injectors without a dropping resistor.

The std ecu and powerfc does not.

The PFC is a glorified (knock display, increased load points, faster processor) real time remappable std ecu.

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
