Default Do I need a resistor box????

I have a 92 Civic Hatchback with a Cr-Vtec Turbo under the hood with Hondata Stage 2 with boost. I am running RC 550 Injectors (Rc550-PL).

It is weird, because sometimes the codes come on when I hammer it and sometimes they do not come on. I have come to realize that i do not have a resistor box. I thought I had one but it was a relay box for the headlights. Anyways, I keep getting a code 16 (Fuel Injectors) and a code 43 (Fuel Supply system) codes. Could it be that because I am missing this part that these codes are coming up?

Please Help!!!

you need to know the impedance of the injectors , RC can answer this question for you.

If the 550 were of the peak/hold variety...you probably fried the injector drivres inside the ECU since you didn't have a resistor box.

However, RC (I believe) did come out with a saturated style 550...so we'll wait to see what the original poster has to say.

get out a multimeter and check em yourself....

It's a coil. Just need to know the resistance over the coil, and then you know if you need the resistor box or not.

How do I check the resistance?

With a multi-meter, or voltmeter as some call them. Do you have one?

Doctor-Cortez - Sorry for the confusion, I know you didn't fry anything.
