RB26 injector upgrade: size, fitment and resistor pack

Here is what changes with an RB26 injector upgrade, from E85 and the resistor pack to injector fitment and fuel rails. We supply parts; your tuner sizes the injectors and sets them up.

Short answer

  • E85: needs more fuel than petrol for the same power.
  • Resistor pack: whether it stays depends on the injectors you fit, so ask your tuner.
  • Fitment: injector length, rail bore and plug have to match your rail and loom.

Ask your tuner to confirm the injectors fitted to your engine before you choose an upgrade.

Sizing for petrol and E85

E85 needs more fuel than petrol for the same power, so injectors that suit a petrol build can run short on E85. The right size depends on your power target, fuel pressure and fuel, so your tuner works it out for your build.

Which injectors fit

Most Injector Dynamics fitments use one of two lengths, 48 mm or 60 mm, and one of two rail bores, 11 mm or 14 mm. ID lists the ID1050x set 1050.60.11.D.6 for the R32, R33 and R34 GT-R with an 11 mm rail bore. ID rates the ID1050x at 1065 cc/min at 3.0 bar on petrol, for up to 10 bar differential fuel pressure and all known fuels, with a USCAR plug.

ID's own fitment list names sets ending .D.6 for the R32, R33 and R34 GT-R and lists the other sets above for other engines, so check fitment with your tuner before you order.

ASNU's Bosch-made injectors have a Bosch plug, and ASNU makes a plug-in adapter for Nissan JECS looms. Check which connector your loom uses before you order.

The resistor pack

Whether the resistor pack stays depends on the injectors you fit, so check with your tuner. Your tuner or an auto electrician does the wiring and sets the injector data in the ECU.

Fuel rails

Radium's 20-0217 is an upgrade rail for the R32, R33 and R34 RB26DETT, not a top-feed conversion. It takes OEM or OEM-equivalent injectors, has three 8AN ORB ports and comes without fittings; Radium sells the 20-0217-PK plumbing kit separately.

FAQ

How much bigger do injectors need to be for E85?

E85 needs more fuel than petrol for the same power, so injectors that suit a petrol build can run short on E85. The right size depends on your power target, fuel pressure and fuel, so your tuner works it out before you order.

Do I need to remove the RB26 resistor pack?

It depends on the injectors you fit, so check with your tuner. Your tuner or an auto electrician does the wiring and sets the injector data in the ECU.

Which Injector Dynamics set fits an R32, R33 or R34 GT-R?

ID lists the ID1050x set 1050.60.11.D.6 for the R32, R33 and R34 GT-R with an 11 mm rail bore. Most ID fitments use a 48 mm or 60 mm length and an 11 mm or 14 mm rail bore, so match the set to your rail and loom.

Do I need a new fuel rail with bigger injectors?

Not always. Radium's 20-0217 rail is an upgrade rail that takes OEM or OEM-equivalent injectors and adds three 8AN ORB ports. It comes without fittings, and Radium sells the 20-0217-PK plumbing kit separately. Ask your tuner whether your build needs a new rail.
