hey does anyone know where i can get resistor packs made up so i can run low impendence injectors for my rb20??

it sounds like you are in the same boat as me

some old cars have them eg honda CRX

or you can wire a 8.5 ohms in series per injector, this should increase the resistance to around 11ohms and prevent :flamed: the ecu

I've yet to try to any of these methods as my friend is sending me a box :P so I don't know which brand of resistor to use.....may be other guru will help.

i looked at the resistors Jaycar had - not designed for use in a hot engine bay mate... decided to go with the GTR resistor pack. BEL Garage sourced it and wired it up to the low-impedence injectors. can't remember how much, but i got a 2nd hand one. lucky it works.. personally if i'd known it's only $150, I would've bought new.

I had some made and all it was was six ballast resistors. I'll get the resistances for you tommorow cause I just finished working on my car tonight and can't be bothered going back outside.

could you also let us know the brand of the resistor?

it looks like my parcel will FTA :) have to dig out my year 12 electronics books now :wassup:

I think the resistors are 7ohm 10 watt wire wound ceramic resistors (I know the resisance is 7ohms I don't know if they are 10 or 17 watt resistors) from jaycar about $1.50 each and you need 6 of them. I'll find out tomorrow as the $100 pack I got from direct imports a few resistors died yesterday, I believe mainly due to poor construction as they were glued together and the ends covered with some sort of silicon and water may have got into the resistors ( I don't really know why they failed, all I know is they were wired up properly and it was running fine and now it isn't). A little metal box only costs a couple bucks and might be worth a go but the resistors may ge to hot.
