Default High impediance injectors in a low imp car???

the car has low imp. injectors in it now. The customer has a set of high imp. RC 750CC injectors that he wants to use. I am not sure how to make this work. My fist thought was to bypass the resistor box but I am not sure if that is correct or how to do so.
any thoughts???

well, if its stock 2-5 ohms and you want to run 10-14 ohm injectors just wire the clips straight, Im not sure if you can just un plug it or not. I dont deal to much with the factory box I always just make my own. but yeah you know what you have to do...bypass the box as you said.

If you are looking for a resistor box I am selling one on honda classifieds if you need one. Good luck!

you can go from non resistorbox to resistorbox, like i did in my 93, but if you go from resistorbox to non resistorbox like in a 91, you will burn out the injector driver in the ecu. PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG OR IF IT IS WORDED WRONG.

typicaly this is the situation...most if not all honda ecu's and injectors operate on 10-14 ohms. and you want to run peak and hold injectors which are low resistance (2-4 ohms). you throw a resistor box in there (10ohm 10watt sandblock / wire wound resistors) to bring the resistance up to keep from frying you injector driver circuit.

so Im kinda confused with the current situation. if it were me...put an ohm meter on the rc's and read the resistance. do the same for the stock injectors (both leads to both pins on injector) if the stock injectors have higher resistance then you will use a resistor box. if the stock injectors are lower than the rc's then remove the resistor box and install the rc's directly.
