Is the Aem resistor box worth the upgrade over stock (old honda resistor box)?
Will it work with Kpro?

Thoughts?

AEM’s external Peak & Hold Injector Driver module allows ECU’s that have a saturated injector drive circuit to trigger low impedance injectors with a true 4/1 Peak & Hold injector drive circuit.

AEM’s Peak & Hold Injector Driver contains 10 independent injector drive channels. Each channel supplies full battery voltage to a fuel injector for rapid current rise, in order to produce positive injector opening. When load current reaches 4.1A (amps), the injector driver reduces the load current to 1.1A and operates as a constant current source. This condition holds the injector open, and reduces system power dissipation. If the current fails to reach 4.1A within 5mS, the driver module automatically reduces the load current to 1.1A.

Installation is straightforward. Users simply hook the injector trigger wires from an ECU to the module, and then hook the output wires from the module to your injectors. Any number of channels can be used from one to 10.

*Legal in California only for racing vehicles which may never be used upon a highway.

I contacted FJO a few weeks ago and they said that product is discontinued and sold out and that they are making a new one which should be comming out within a months time.

 

From what i've heard, the internals are exactly the same. The only difference is the number of injectors it can control. I'd go FJO

 

I just bought a FJO driver.
It was simple to wire up.

just waiting on my block to see if its wired right.

 

To answer the original question, yes it is a good idea. If you want more info on why, read the first paragraph in this thread. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread/2254427
