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..

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
