low impedance injectors on a saturated ecu

[wontonjohnny]

ive read that others use resistor boxes from old hondas, that would be simple but im running 6 injectors.

anyone know of a car that would have a 6 pack resistor box???

or are there any other options???

thanks

Make your own resistor box.

is it safe to make your own??? dont resistors get super hot???

you guys are talking about radioshack reisitors and splicing it in right???

yep lots of hondas run this way with no problems

Although low impedance peak and hold will run with an resistor box and ecu designed for high impedance saturated type injectors, the actual operation is determined by the injector driver in the ecu. Without p&h drivers the low impedance injector will run in saturated mode. For most setups this is not really a problem until you start using larger injectors and want lower fueling resolution in tuning lower rpm fuel and throttle maps.
I believe MSD makes resistor packs that accomodate for 6 and 8 cyl vehicles.

am i supposed to splice the resistor on the ecu line or the power line???

ive searched online and seen other do it both ways.. which is correct?

I was gonna ask this question too.. I have some low impedance 450cc injectors from a dsm that I want to run when I install my new turbo. The RB20det has high impedance injectors stock, so I was going to build a resistor box.

Is it as simple as measuring the resistance on the stock and new injectors and using a resistor of the proper resistance to make them the same?

Sorry if I make no sense, too much christmas cheer! :nut:

does not matter

You can use 10w 10ohm resistors. I had a pic of my first setup running these but i have no idea where it is.

are you 100% postive???

so if i splice these in at the ecu harness it will be ok???

[legendboy]

Here is a half assed pic. They are zip tied to the fuel rail :rofl:

yeah it doesnt matter, I have mine on the positive, but either way will work

Radio shack no longer sells them. They are discontinued. Just use 2 honda resistor boxs, it will work fine.

you can get them at active components on 32nd NE
