Default Resistor box for F20B

can anyone tell me if i need a resistor box and if i would need to change my injectors to low impedance as well. I'm running a P06.

thanks

no need to change injector styles or add a resistor box

but y wouldnt i need it tho? the F20B comes with high impedance injectors, the 92 civic P06 has low impedance with a resistor box, how would i not need one?

the ecu doesnt care what style injector is being run as long as its wired up correctly. i run civic ecu (saturate) on my accord(peak/hold) fine, and my friend runs peak/hold style on a obd1 civic(originally saturate) with a resistor box added on a civic ecu...
what chassis code civic are you referring to? im assuming since you claim to have an sir-t you are not located in northamerica? because here 92 civics come with the highimpedence (saturate)

if you are running high impedance injectors (which you are) on a high impedance ecu (such as the P06 you're running) then you dont need the box.

the resistor box is needed if you are using low impedance injectors on ANY honda ecu. reason being that the injector drivers in the ecu's see a HUGE amperage draw on them when using low impedance injectors and no box. with the box installed, it lowers the impedance and thus "softens" the amp draw on the drivers.

An ecu can run low impedance injectors only for a short time, then the ecu injector drivers will poop out on you.

hope this helps
