Default 90 dx mpfi swap out of 94 civic. do i need a resistor box

Ok i found a 94 civic sedan and i got the distributor, intake manifold, injectors, fuel rail, head, and ecu, and wiring harness. All of the mpfi how-tos i found said i needed a resistor box if coming from a si. But since i got the ecu out of the 94 civic will i be able to do the swap without the injector box? thanks

A 94 engine is obd1 so if you are planning running obd1 then you dont need the box!

you dont with obd1 inj. You have to give the inj 12v+ rather than a inline resistor

injector obd has nothing to do with the ecu... What inj are you using?

read my post lol. its all out of a 94 civic. i had all the parts from the howto to do the swap except the resistor box. what im saying is if i install the 94 ecu for the mpfi swap will i need to do the obd1 swap? or can i keep my stock dpfi ecu and just not need the resitor box

or: do i need to get a 90 si ecu and 90 si resistor box

OBD1 injectors do not need a resistor box.

And obd1 ecu will need an obd1 swap, and I dpfi ecu won't work with any mpfi swap.

You can get a 90 ecu and use no resistor box if you're still using the 94 injectors.

I have an obd1 dizzy for sale if you wanna do the obd1 swap.
