for the resistor pack you can use 6 10W 10 ohm resistors from Jaycar/Dick Smith. Will cost about $6 but then just package them nicely in a box.

Your mom fixes cars????

:) oh sorry, "he"

with the resistors you already have Roy's detail on fitting them? this is the same but just solder the power wire into the 6 resistors at one end (twist them together) then run the other ends to each injector in place of the power wires they have. The switching is done in the ecu to earth the injector and make go bang.......

does anyone know the exact ohm and W resistors to use. i've read on these forums so many different things. 8.5 ohms, 7 ohm, 10W, 17W. i don't want to wire the wrong sized ones in and short something out.

appaerently, no-one on here knows. so i bought some 6.8ohm resistors. i'll let you know how they go real soon

Hey SluggerS13

Did you end up putting them in and did you take any pics of finished result?

I bought the 10ohm, 10Watt as found another site which a couple of people claimed they used them.

I once found a page which someone posted pics and full instructions of Jarcar resistors installed but have been searching for weeks and can not find it.

Spewing.

thanks.

There was a page in here, I am sure it was the wanted section in response to somebody looking for the factory item, and it was explained how to make it with fairly clear instructions.. but I can't find it in here anymore either :)

    • Also, a tip for young players  Check the dates on new tyres before they fit them, I always ask this question at the tyre shop, as they have tried to put "new" tyres on one of my cars a few years ago, but the build date was about 3 years old
    • Yeah - 4 or 5 years is the limit for decent tyres. Pedestrian grade tyres with 400 TW ratings start out hard and don't start to suffer until they are somewhat older again. But the stickier decent stuff? Nup. My current ADO9s are < 2 yrs old, 17000km in, only have about the minimum 2mm of tread depth left, and they are.....not what they used to be. They are clearly much harder now than when new. Whether that is heat cycles (unlikely, for a road tyre), different compound between top and bottom of tread, or actually aging out (in less than 2 years!!!) is not really able to be discerned. But I'd credit actual aging as being at least part of the cause. I've got an old pair of ~50% worn AD08Rs in the shed that I really need to get rid of. They started feeling waaaay too hard to put back on the car after a couple of years sitting there.
    • Personally I wouldn't put tyres over 4 or 5 years old on any of my own cars. Once they go hard the grip characteristics completely change. As per most things it only matters in an accident and that's when you most want them to do their job!
    • I'm replacing the front tyres on the E39 tomorrow because one of them has a few gouges out of it. There is so much tread still on them but they're also 9 years old and the rubber is super hard.  This falls within the guidelines of 10 years old that I've read which surprises me given their condition.  I'm curious about whether you guys care about tyre age or just judge the tyre based on condition? How old would you consider too old?
    • What starts as a scratch, becomes a flesh wound, then quadruple amputation. Jus' sayin'. Crush resistant gloves (The ones with the rubber strips down the back of the hand and fingers) might not be a bad idea after all!
