do i really need one? i heard earlier hondas already 'em. i have a 95 hatch w/ a kswap and boosted. but my tuner says the 750 are small for my goals and recommended 1000's. could the resistor pack be from any acura or honda vehicle to use in my hatch?

i found one but its from a legend, could i still use it in my hatch for my current setup? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...sting

 

if you want it to run good, get an injector driver istead of a resistor box. I'm regretting not getting one, again

don't they cost like 400 dollars. i'm kind of on a budget.

do u mind me asking what happened with yours.

 

it is 50/050 on the injector driver, my tuner suggests the box over the driver having an FJo fail on him almost immediately.

to answer the op, i dont know of an injector over 750cc (poss 800) that doesnt need one. if you are uncertain, ohm the injector, if you get 2-3 ohms, you will need a box or a driver.

f.w.i.w. i am using p/h rc 1200's with a resistor box no issues.

i know i need a resistor box/pack, but which one? thats why i posted that link on the first post to see i would be able to use it?

 

from what i understand, most if not all resistor boxes are 10ohm
you can also get 10watt 10 ohm in line resistors that will do the same.

i have a few ef boxes, and i come across them every now and again, those are the ones i use. if they are 10 ohm, it should work. the 10watt means how fast it can dissipate the heat.

i am pretty sure a dsm box will work but im not 100% sure.

 

If you are using RC 1000cc's, screw the injector driver and just get a regular honda resistor box, they work really well..

He said it best!! oem honda resistor box

 

ive been using a dsm box for a year and half now..

 

So I'm in the middle of my first turbo build right now and will be running RC 1000's....I thought I was done spending money.

Is this something I will need?

 

the 1000's work fine with a honda resistor box, anything bigger than 1000's i like to use a driver.

Where can I get a honda resistor box? I have no idea what it looks like...haha

Look at a 94-97 Accord engine bay. It is in the top right corner, its a gray color box thats about the size of a rice krispy treat

 

Ummmm yummy rice krispy treat....lol

 

thanks guys. i got some mix reviews but alot of you are saying i'll be fine with a oem reisstor box so i'm gonna go with that. looks like i'm heading off to the junnkyard.

i have one out of a crx for sale..

 

i had a stock resistor baox in my old car, now we did the inline ones from an electronics store, they work ok, car just idles irradically. doesnt idle at all cold, but thats because we got rid of all the cold start stuff
