robevo Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Hey all Rob here, Long time lurker, first time poster! Im currently in the porcess of putting a ca18det into my MK1 escort I am using mitsi injectors and understand they are the wrong resistance (not sure if its higher or lower) Was wondering what people have done to get around this - i.e new resistor packs etc Any help would be much apprecaited, as i want to try and get this thing running over xmas Cheers ROB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Mitsis mostly use low-impedance injectors and they have a ballast resister pack, usually mounted on the firewall. What ECU are you using? most aftermarket ECUs can use either high or low-impedance injectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robevo Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 Hi, Im using the standard computer, think it is a S13. It does have a resistor pack from the stadard loom, just not sure how much it is So do i need to get the resistor pack from a mitsi?? and wire that in, in place of the resistor pack that is on the car? Cheers ROB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Mk1 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Im doing the same, I have VR4/Eclipse 450cc. Ive heard that you just run them as is, ive also heard that you need a dropping resistor wired into the CA loom. I cannot confirm or deny either!

fuel Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I guess measure the impedance of the mitsi injectors compared to the nissan ones, and then measure the impedance of the nissan ballast pack and do the same with a mitsi one you can get ahold of, if the values are mostly the same then it should be sweet to run the mitsi injectors in place of the nissan ones. Otherwise, yes you will have to use a mitsi ballast pack in place of the nissan one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Mk1 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 viewtopic.php?f=17&t=3210&p=458860#p458860 Have a look mid page, see if you and I are working with the same stuff Rob? For some fucked reason Trademe wont show me the aution in history when I won the Injectors, which stated the impedence..goddammit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robevo Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 Hi guys Fuel: Cheers, that was what i had planned to do if worst comes to worst, but i never had any injectors with my engine. And the fact that wiring is just not my thing!! Mr Mk1: Yes, all looks the same, i just made some small spacers to make up the height difference. Mine are only GSR injectors - 390cc and a tan colour. Im pretty sure thats the reason the injectors have the small tag on the front in a dfference postion, to show the diff impenence. I do remeber seeing a acution on trade me for some mitsi injectors that came out of a nissan, said they worked fine with no mods?? Surely there must be heaps of nissans out there with mitsi injectors!!?? have googled with not much luck.... Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Mk1 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Yeah, very common conversion. More info on: http://forums.nicoclub.com/zeroforum?id ... 365&page=1 http://www.ozdat.com/forum/viewtopic.ph ... a076ac5e28 etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCADTA Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 mitsi evo injectors are the same impedence as the nissan ca18det ones so the dropping resistor is fine,the ca18de however uses different impedence injectors and dropping resistor. if you dont have a dropping resistor for a ca18det use a ca16de as they are the same and often cheaper.

robevo Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Cheers Qcadta The loom im using is from a ca18det so the resistor should be fine then?? Awesome, one more thing off the list Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requiemk Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 make up a project thread bro so we can see what your up too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
