im currently putting a jdm h22 into an eg. someone told me i had to add an injetor resistor, im not even sure what it is. also does anyone think it will come with the swap or should i try and find one at a junk yard???

 

here is what one looks like, it will more than likley not come with the swap , but there are quite a few peple int eh classifides forum selling them for ariound $20.
Also it will have a plug with it with 4 red/blk wires and one yellow with black wire. Each one of the red/blk will go to each injector, and the the 4 wires that you snip off that are 12v power will go to the single yellow/blk. If you need some diagrams I will send you some if you like, but it may take a few days cause my computer with all my pics just took a dump
Any more questions hit me up or Poison he knows his ****!
Sorry the pic is so big!

you dont need the resistor box for usdm or jdm. im not runnin it and its fine w/o

 

it may run just fine. I would recommend wiring up one since they are low impedence injectors.

it's very unlikely, but you COULD end up shorting out your ecu.

 

do u think that this can really happen ? Ive never heard of this happening but it could be a possible outcome

 

ya. it's possible. the purpose of a resistor pack is to control voltage sending back and forth to the ecu. and since the injectors have high voltage sent to them with high flow, a resistor pack is necessary (not really required), but for honda, and a business prospective, you can see where they are coming from

shorted out ecu's with trillions of customers can = bad.

 

you DO need it. that's why you keep frying wires in your harness. that's why i kept blowing the ecu backup fuse. when i wired in the resistor box, that stopped.
