So what ill need to do would be to change the Gtst resistor pack to the GTR one? or is dont gtst have a resistor pack as such?

thanks Roy much apreciatted!

Get your hands on an RB20DET wiring diagram, you will find that the wiring diagram for the R32 RB20DET and RB26DETT are on the same diagram (well they are on mine) which helps spot the differences.

The RB20DET does not have a resistor pack, the GTR does. Essentially you need to cut into the power wire that feeds all the injetors, off the firewall it runs on top of the fuel rail branching off where there are injectors. So before it branches off to feed a voltage to any injectors you need to cut it and solder it to the 7th wire on the resistor pack. Then from the resistor pack you have 6 wires that then run to the +ve spade on the injectors. So essentailly you are wiring the resistor pack in series before the injectors, just as std on a GTR.

I should have taken photos... :Oops:

Hi jnr32r, Power FC requires the standard impedance injectors, which on an R32 GTST RB20DET are 12-14 ohms (generally called high impedance). R32 GTR RB26DETT have low impedance injectors, around 3-5 ohms. If you use low impedance injectors then the PFC will get too much current drain and overheat.

Hope that helps

I am using 13B non turbo injectors which are either 420cc or 460cc Lol damn memory! Anyway I got them from a fella from nissansilvia.com for $35 each. They fit straight in, the last 4 digits are 1350 from memory??? Anyway I also, during the conversion got new injector plugs, which are similar to the stock ones except the lug is in the centre and not offset. They also have the spring you push down to unplug them vs the spring clip that gets flicked off and lost. I am running a microtech LTX12 (a 180sx RB20DET) and haven't got the car back yet so I cannot comment on the further.

do you happen to have pics of the mod'd clip to fit the 13b injectors? Thanks

Im not using a Power Fc but am using the GTR injectors & resistor pack on RB20 ECU.

So std RB20 ECU requires high impedence injectors to limit the current to the ecu...so can use:

- high impedence injectors and standard ECU OR

- low impedence with resistor pack, and std ECU. As impedence of (low impedence injector + resistor pack) equated to using high impedence injectors, the ECU doesnt know any better.

Hi jnr32r, Power FC requires the standard impedance injectors, which on an R32 GTST RB20DET are 12-14 ohms (generally called high impedance).  R32 GTR RB26DETT have low impedance injectors, around 3-5 ohms.  If you use low impedance injectors then the PFC will get too much current drain and overheat.

Will that still happen even if you have a resistor pack, from RB26?

well, injectors are on way :D

Once I have got hold of the management side of things, they will be going in and then I guess we'll see how they work

I hope this is'nt true because I have a PFC and GTR injectors/resisters are going in this weekend

Thanks Champ. Don't kill yourself getting the work finished this weekend. I'm currently looking around for some injectors so i can be safe running higher boost => more power on the straights at PI and Sandown :P

I have'nt put them in yet coz I was finding out if they would work with the PFC.After reading SK post it put me off trying it coz I did'nt want to do damage to the ECU.

Roy you'll be the first to know how it goes after I finish that beer.

Chris32 I'll take pics as I go.Hopefully this weekend I'll do it all.

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
