hey guys i really need to know how to wire inline resitors in my rb20 for gtr injectors to work with my power fc, i need to know exactly what resistors i need to put in and also what resistance the circuit has to be to make them run, i dont want to blow up my precious power fc,

thanx for al you help

regards luke

There was a guide on how to make them.. was very easy and would cost you about $5 in parts.. I believe it had to do with wiring a resistor on the "active" line of each injector. It was in a stupid place on here (wanted section??) and can't find it for the life of me anymore.

so if i just get a gtr ballast resistor i just plug that into the loom do i and it will work perfect?

Its not plug in, it requires soldering whether you use the Nissan ballast resistor or make your own usign resistors from Jaycar.

If you look in the tutorial section i did a thread to help ppl get started. Outside of that it is easy to cut into theloom and solder it all up, just take it slow and triple check everything. If you were in Melb id be happy to do it, including installing injetors its about a 6hr job from start to finish, including removing coil pack covers, inlet piping, taping up the loom etc etc

Mine was 13 ohms with the GTR resistor pack in and 3.5 ohns with resistor pack out.;)

Thanks SK, In the workshop manual it states 5k for the resistor pack :confused:

even so 13k seems a little high if the ecu has the same mosfet transistors as the rb20 ecu

Cant remember, i did measure it to check that i had it all wired up correctly. Easisest thing to do is when you are removing the injectors just check the resistance of the GTR injector with the RB20 injector.  

I seem to remember the ballast resistor was about 5-6ohms

well that confirms what the workshop manual states...

so if i simply get a gtr ballast box, i just have to cut and solder each injector positive feed into each of the wires coming out of the ballast box?, if i do it the other way as in wireing resitors inline, do i just cut the main feed to the injector and wire an inline resitor into it, if so what size resitor is needed to do this.

you are best off getting the heavy duty ceramic ones - I think they are the 1watt.. they are big and square. I'd say if you wrapped that in plenty of electrical tape, and soldered properly you shouldn't have a problem I wouldn't think.

    • LS is a good motor, but it hurts my soul when I see it in a RB. Guess it fixes the oiling issues lol.
    • I'm confused. Does this qualify as "Gregging" or are you somehow avoiding the Gregging?
    • More assembly going on, with all sorts of "bolt right on bro" scenarios going on here. Smartly, PTV clearance was checked. And I say smartly because it turns out that the intake was 0.009" from piston meeting valve. This is 0.23mm. This is very not okay. A fast meeting was facilitated between engine builder in Australia and engine builder in the USA which was actually incredibly helpful and constructive actually, various ideas thrown around to get around this issue including: 1) Retard the cam timing which would have brought the exhaust valve closer to meeting piston (it was 0.065") which was uncomfortably close to begin with, and change the cam profile making it 'laggier' 2) Much larger head gaskets which would reduce compression, but half the point of this was to increase compression. 3) New set of pistons ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) 4) All of the above 5) Get ghetto The concept is you get sticky sandpaper and stick it back to a valve, slightly larger than the valve you/I'm using, like say from a LS3/rectangle port head. You now have a very super advanced flycutting tool to modify your pistons in your block. Then you install it in your head, and attach the other end of the head to a drill. Then you just replicate your valve smashing into a piston with your spinning drill.   This is the result. Repeat many times. It is strongly recommended you have some kind of fixed stop when doing this for extremely obvious reasons because if you press too hard then you're well into apocalyptic repercussion land. The minimum clearance on the intake valve is now 0.075" this is still in the "Too close to be really comfortable" and into "It should be fine" land. Supposedly in the real world the clearances will be slightly bigger. Guess this is what happens when people push envelopes for N/A engines instead of adding boost! Time to move onto the new, upgraded, higher ratio roller rockers from Yellaterra, all tapped and threaded with a stronger bolt for better stability. Very nice. Lets see how they fit. For f**ks sake. Time to bring the grinder out for these aftermarket, machined and CNC'd heads. Looks like the new, beefier rocker from YellaTerra has gone from Bolt on part to "Bolt on part". Well, lets see how this bolt on crank scraper and windage tray goes then, shall we? There actually is more clearance than they specify for this thing, but seeing it all move as you check it is terrifying when you see it all so very very very very nearly hit things. But after all, this is what the item is designed to do after all and actually did bolt on perfectly and have enough clearance to everything and some very clear and direct instructions. So +1 to Improved Racing I suppose. As above with the windage tray on. Photo of breaker bar wonkiness for added lols. Next up: Oil pump/front cover/water pump/sump and then it's time to actually install the heads, pushrods, head bolts, valve cover gaskets and such is all there and ready to go. (except the oil pump bolts which were previously longer for more clearance with the previously perfectly installed double row timing chain). There's definitely a sense that someone other than us has been here before and done everything perfectly, or at least considered it and came up with working solutions. Perhaps the previous cam was 6deg advanced to avoid PTV issues with the milled stock heads? In any case when I attempt to sell this stuff the buyers are going to be very directly informed.
    • my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast
    • Yeah - the secret learned a long time ago is that the RB likes to belch oil out the covers, and/or starve the pump because it drowns the head in oil, because the upflow of crankcase gases from piston blowby comes up through the oil drain holes in the block and prevents the oil from flowing back down. The external vents from sump are about creating an alternative path/much more XS area for gas flow to decrease the gas velocity up through the oil drains and allow the oil to get back down. So, it's not about pressure at all. It is about flows - gas up and oil down - or when it's not working, gas up and oil not going where it is supposed to after it arrives at the top, except out through the cam cover vents. And regardless of whether the catch can is vented to air or vented to the turbo inlet, it must still be vented because a sealed system would blow out the crank seals, or something equally bad.
