resistor box and injector question...
do the precision 1000s require a resistor box? Wasnt for sure
and About the resistor box... if i buy one directly off a honda vehicle like a 90 civic, Can This plug into that dead end connector directly, Or do I still have to cut and solder the wires like that write up said?

yes htey require a resistor box. you can use the dead end plug, but you have to do the wire modifications to use the dead end plug

No matter which route you take, adding a resistor box should always involve soldering. Don't buy into those "solderless install" threads.

Re: resistor box and injector question... (EnzoSpeed)
is the oem one the way to go? or what
id have to cut off the resistor box plug to splice it in to the dead end connector

Yup, OEM. There are two styles - the OBD-0 boxes look like metal twinkies. The OBD-1 boxes are square with heat sink fins. Either will work. If you can't find one for free, I wouldn't pay more than $10 for one because people are always trying to get rid of resistor boxes.
As for the install, just follow the write-ups.

Re: resistor box and injector question... (EnzoSpeed)
Can I ask why people say the soldering Is required? Ive never done this But Why logistically cant a OBD1 plug into a OBD1 dead end harness assumeing the wires in the pin were arranged to the "HOT" wires in the plug?
Just a noob in this area and wanting the reason not?

Re: resistor box and injector question... (vtecluder97)
i use power resistors from radio shack. about 5 bucks for four. cut, solder, and heak shrink into each yellow wire and thats was it. 10w 10ohm, looks like small pieces of square chaulk

Re: (twisted civic)
I solder everything because it makes perfect unions with no chance of a loose connection.
The "dead-end plug" has the wires held in with rubber grommets and there is a chance that the wires can back out. If that happens, your resistor box won't work and you will fry your ECU before you know what happened.

Re: (EnzoSpeed)
how do I test my resistor box when i get it? I ordered one off ebay for 5 bucks, even though its hard to believe these are easily screwed up..
I dont want a 5 dollar used part to fry my hondata i paid way more than 5 bucks for...
Procedure on how to test its opperation?

Re: (vtecluder97)
I don't remember what the high/low impedence numbers are, but you should be able to unplug your injectors and hook up your multi-meter to one, then crank the motor and see what the reading is.

Re: (EnzoSpeed)
I got the newer style resistor box, but its different from the one in that turbo install thread that was in here the other week....
It showed the older resistor box having 4 yellow/black wires, and a different color for a 5th.
Mine Has 4 red/black wires, and one yellow/black for the 5th
Do I tread my 4 red/back wires as they treated the yellow ones in their writup?

Re: (vtecluder97)
Yes.
Think of it this way - current goes into the box through the single "differently colored" wire, the impedence gets scaled down, then the current leaves through the other four wires to go to each injector.
So the current always goes in through the single wire and out through the four "similarly colored" wires.
