Hi all,

I've read that you can fit series 5 RX7 injectors into an RB20 without too much problems, but I'm just wondering about the ins and outs of doing so. They are a high impedance injector, so it shouldn't require any ballast resistors, and they are a Top Feed, so no fuel rail mods (from what I can gather)

Has anyone done this mod and know any tricks/problems?

Thanks for the reply Adriano.

I was specifically wondering about the electrical side of things. What type connectors do the RB20's have (oval, square, custom)? I don't have an RB20 so I can't check.

I just want to know what is involved in fitting them, as I don't want to tell some poor sod that they'll fit straight in when there could be a lot of fiddling around involved. You do that, and it'll come back on you eventually...

Need generic injector connectors, rb20 connectors dont fit on gtr injectors unless you cut some of the notches off the injectors.

Have to wire in GTR resistor ballast, refer to the link below for my explanation.

I'm not worried about GTR injectors (I already have a GTR).. As the title says, its 550cc RX7 injectors into an RB20 that I'm worried about.

Steve,

rx7 550's are a direct drop in replacement for stock RB20 injectors. If there going to the trouble of putting them in i would be replacing the plugs anyway for peace of mind given there age. Other than that nothing else is required.

As for spray pattern, i never had any drama's when running mine :)

Yes they are all high impedance Hitachi injectors. Mazda changed the injector plugs to an oval style plug for the S5 rx-7. The S4 rx7 injectors should be a straight drop in.

Be aware that the NA and Turbo injectors are similar in colouring. N/A is 460cc turbo is 550cc.

N/A part number: 195500-2020 (Purple/Red top)

Turbo part number: 195500-2010 (Red top)

If you end up getting S5 550's then you can get the oval style plugs of most toyota camry's, I got a set of a V6 2001 model camry that looked almost new. Be aware but that the spray pattern is like a garden hose, and for this reason I would not recommend them. Been there done that.

Personally I would be to go for Sard's or Nismo even if it does take a little longer to save for them.

Thanks peoples. As I said, I have a GTR, so they're no good for me. I just don't want to rip someone off like I was.

Btw James, I think you have the part numbers the wrong way around. Every rx7 forum I've been on has the 2020's as the 550cc turbo injectors.

Femno's got it in one...

I was ripped off as the person who sold these to me said they were a straight swap in for a GTR.... Now I have to find some way to recoup some my losses ie. sell them, without doing the same thing to someone else.

Ideally, I'd just like to give them back to the dude that sold me them and get my money back, but that's as likely as a hole in the head. So if anyone knows of any drag/drift cops with RB20's that want bigger injectors....

Don't worry all.. they do fit my RB26 after all, albeit with some modification to the loom...

Looks like I'll have to scour the wreckers or something...

Note to self: Check part numbers etc before buying..

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
