Icon2 injector/resistor box problems and issues

ok so i have a 01 dc2 wit a fresh swapped gsr in it...all has been good since swaps done but im know noticing it runs rich and has a surge if im jus cruising...ive looked into a few things and now have relized there is a resistor box installed on my harness..previous owner had a lsv-T setup so my ? is should i remove the resistor box or get some stock style cc peak and holds...im not going to be making any huge power and staying all motor hopeing for 200-220 when sad and done...but for now im running stock saturated using a resistor box and dont wanna F anything up...if i remove the resistor box how do i remove it and redo wires ive never messed with resistor boxes before?

thanks ahead of time

If u remove the resitor box u will have to change your injectors too. If there is a resistor box in your car now u either have dsm injectors or injectors out of an obd0 car. If u remove the resistor box u will need to get some injectors out of an obd1 or obd2 civic or integra. I would go with obd2 injectors just for the simple fact that the obd2 injector clips are better in my opinion. Hope this helps. If u have any more questions PM me.

ok let me explain the car used to run a boosted lsv...wired a resistor box in for bigger rc style injectors for boost...motors gone so now im running a b18c witk stock 240cc saturated injectors which all d/b series run unless obd0...that being said im currently using a resitor box on saturated injectors...resistor boxes are for peak and hold style...so that being said i either need 240-290 cc peak and holds or i need to know how to remove the resistor box and return the injector wiring to stock

If u want to remove the resitor box just cut all 5 wires and twist em together and wrap em up.

The resister "box" unplugs and a connector plug can be installed, or as mentioned jimmy rig it, cut the 5 leads and connect them all together. 94

heres some shotty pix of how its wired...so your tellin me all i have to do is cut all the wires from resistor box and twist/solder them togeter and it will be back to stock/oem saturated injector setup

it currently has saturated stock gsr 240 cc injectors but they dont need resistor box and it causes surges and richness

Jeez.
That is some of the crappiest wiring I have seen in a long time.

The resistor box plug may have more then just 5 leads, switched power for IACV, EVAP purge solenoid, primary heated O2 sensor may also be in at least the harness side plug, may not be on the resistor box side plug, all the leads in the harness side plug should be the same color, [yellow/black], one is the input, the rest are outputs.

As for the rest of the wiring, [connections wrapped with electrical tape, kind of, connections using butt connectors and so on] should be done properly, solder/shrink tubing, poor connections will fail at the least opportune time, [when your late for a date, with your glad rags on, at night, raining].

As Frank Zappa said, "get the picture". 94

Remove it, you mean the resistor box???

If so, it should unplug. 94
