Resistor-Pack Vs. Radioshack
I bought some 10 Ohm 10 Watt resistors from the shack, but would it be better to use a resistor pack from an older Honda? Are there any issues with overheating the seperate resistors, since there are the fins on the resistor pack housing? Also, how does that actually hook up?

Re: Resistor-Pack Vs. Radioshack (ion_four)
i was also wondering this, where exactly do u install the resistors,..this way seems much more cleaner then a box and wires going everywhere.

Just wire a 10 watt 10 ohm resistor in series with the yellow/black wire from each injector. The ceramic portion of the resistor is not conductive and does not need to be sheilded but you need to sheild any bare wire.
Be sure to solder and shrink wrap everything. No bullet connectors here boys.
They get hot, but no hotter than anything else in the engine bay. Been running like this for a couple months now.

What is this crap?
Re: Resistor-Pack Vs. Radioshack (5 Liter Eater)
if you're feeling really ambitious you can always expoxy heat sinks on the ceramic parts of the resistors...
or epoxy them all together and put a heatsink from a computer's CPU on them.

Being that those resistor packs can be found for $30-$40....why bother with anythign else...what if you buy a bad resistor and it fails while your driving....you can easily fry your ecu or worst yet blow your motor if that injector stops working.

Re: Resistor-Pack Vs. Radioshack (Sonny)
i was just asking..because the wiring jobs i see on the injector packs dont look to shabby (from what I* have seen).
i just dont want an electrical mess

I installed mine this way and it worked good.

Re: Resistor-Pack Vs. Radioshack (ef civic)
i thought 0bd1 and 2 use low independent injector's swo you don't need the resistor box please inlighten me?

I never heard of doing this whole resistor thing, but it is a very good idea.

is there a limit on to how long the wires should be? i will have mine pretty far away from the injectors and engine harness, like near the battery. still good, right?
