Hey all,

As some may have read from my other threads been having some issues with me car.

I think i have narrowed the issue to some kind of a resistor or something from the injector wiring?

Pics are attached below.

Anyone able to tell me what it is? What it does?

And most important how do i go abouts fixing it?

Will i require brand new wiring for whole of injector plugs or can i get it soldier back on? etc...

Can a mechanic shop fix it or electrical shop?

I believe my injector is not working atm because of this!?

Any information will help! Thanks.

I am guessing its and RB20 motor with low impedance injectors? The part in question is a 10W resistor and there will no doubt be one for each injector. I am guessing someone felt it was easier (and definitely cheaper) to simply buy some resistors from Dick Smith than a dropping resistor pack from a GTR.

Yes, you can buy a replacement from Dick Smiths or Jaycar and wire it in although personally I believe the dropping resistor pack from a GTR is a much neater alternative.

Cheers

refer to my tut about gtr injector wiring.

Instead of a resistor ballast, the previous person may have wired individual resistors (if thats what the picture is showing)

yes.. each injector has the white rectangular resistor as in the picture.

because the one pictured is broken.. would that be the cause of my #6 cyclinder not working as the injector wouldn't be squirting?

so what's the best and easiest solution?

Rekin: i had a look at your post.. pardon me being a dumbass.. LOL.. i don't quiet get what needs to be done there! "-_-

thanks guys!

Easiest solution would be to pop down to your local dick smith/jaycar etc and pick up an identical resistor and solder it into place.

Personally i'd track down a gtr resistor pack (can be bought new from Just Jap i think) and replace all the individual resistors with it. It would be a neater and probably more reliable option. Those individual resistors would surely be getting quite warm?

i got the car they way it is now so... i would agree that they would be getting hot but the car has been fine for the time i've had it.. even taken it up to bulla with no probs.

recently i pulled the AAC and Air Reg off to clean and i musta bumped the resistor by accident and musta snapped off.

SILLY QUESTION but how easy/how do you get the wires/plugs out so i can put a new resistor on? can't reach it as it's the last cylinder and down between the plenum or what every you call it and engine.

Provided you buy the correct resistor with appropriate wattage (10W shown in the photo) you should have now problems. I am guessing the resistor is a 12ohm, 10W resistor. Best to check the resistance on one of the other resistors or simply take it to Dick Smith and ask them to give you the same item.

If it is the standard plug you will need to get a screw driver on the metal spring retaining clip and gently lever it up to release the plug.

Cheers

    • Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.
    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
