I have just finished wiring in my resistor pack for use with VR4 440cc injectors. I have fuel but no spark so i assume i've stuffed something up somewhere. The coil packs have power, how do check that the igniter (transistor) pack is getting/sending a signal?

I am running a gtslink computer and the car was running fine before the injector upgrade.

Cheers

I had the same problem

What I did was check each wire running to the resistor pack with a multimeter

With the ignition on, earth the multimeter (battery or what ever) and touch the other end to the wire your checking, should show +12v

Easiest way is to stick a sewing pin/needle into the wire your testing, then touch the positive end of the multimeter to the pin/needle

You need to identify weather the the resistor is getting power, if not then work backwards

Check the resistor, then check the wire you hooked up for the power, if there is still no power there check the power wire on the original loom and make sure its the correct wire

If the wire has power then check your connections/soldering. As the wiring does sit a bit tight and if its heavily taped, theres a chance the connection/some connections could have broken

Also make sure the resistor pack is good, not sure how you can test the pack it self

Hope that makes sense

"You need to identify weather the the resistor is getting power, if not then work backwards

Check the resistor, then check the wire you hooked up for the power, if there is still no power there check the power wire on the original loom and make sure its the correct wire"

cheers, but the resistor pack for the injectors has power and the injectors are working, however it's the spark that i'm missing so i'm wondering about how to check the igniter/transistor pack wiring

I have done some more work into finding out whats wrong, so far this is what i've found:

Coil packs have power

CAS has power

There is continuity through the loom from the CAS to the computer to the transistor (ignition) pack to the coils

During cranking the computer is putting out 2-3V to the transistor pack but the book says it should only be .2-.3V. Can anyone confirm if either of these values are correct?

check to see if the ignitor pack is earthed properly.

btw my car is having spark problems atm i ve narrowed it down to a computer problem but i got a lend of some coilpacks and an ignitor pack and my car wouldnt even start with the replacement ignitor pack.

i seen it taken off another rb20 tried it on mine and wouldnt even start b4 taking it back and puttin it on the other car watching it start quite happily first click.

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
