These peak and hold injectors(ie DSM 450) need ~4Amps at their peak state. But Honda ECU's were designed for high impedance injectors (~12ohm) which supply ~1Amp. I understand why you can put a resistor pack or a couple 10ohm resistors in series with them so the driver circuitry/injectors doesn't burn out. But if these peak and hold injectors need 4Amps, but are only recieving 1. Don't they open slower? and probably not run as well(or in theory at all). Why do these things work then?

lots of people use them and i have yet to see a problem, but my idea is that the low impedence injectors wich open faster than a high impedence injector in the first place will just be as slow as a high impedence injector.

 

Not all Honda ecus are saturated. OBD0 is peak/hold, and provide the "proper" voltage.

They use a resister box.

 

Yes, I am aware of that. I was pointing out that not all Honda ecus use saturated injectors, as implied in the original post:

I was mostly implying the newer ones. which I probably should have stated, they also produce the "proper" current but I am sure you are aware of that as well.

 

V=I*R

 

Great you know the formula, but now you must learn how to apply it.

Im sorry try again.
