    Help with Resistor Packs

    This may be a bit of a noob question, though I have very little experience with electronics.

    What kind of resistors would I need to drop 12-16 ohms down to 2-3 ohms. Would a simple 10 ohm resistor soldered into the coils work? The reason being is that I order some 3000GT VR4 360cc low-impedance injectors. Though our cars use high impedance. So basicly I need to throw in some resistors to make it work.

    can you use the stock resistor pack off a 2g? pretty sure you can, that'll get you running low-imp injectors

    You know what I probably can. All I know about the VR4 resistors is that their part number: MD145962

    Pretty sure all DSM injectors are the same. Id just grab a 3kgt vr4 resistor pack, since it would already be wired for 6 injectors and the 2g would only be for 4.
    7g for life!

    you could get one off of an old v6 honda too from a junk yard they look like silver twinkies they are small and can easily fit in your pocket just make sure if you get a resistor box get both sides of the clips it makes things alot easier

    The VR4 packs are somewhat hard to find.

    Hmmm, what year honda would you reccomend?

    Also guys, is their any other name for these components other than resistor pack? The reason I ask is because Im not sure what to look for in car-parts.com

    damn i cant remember what year i got it off of but it looks like this i have one in my room now lol the one i have doesnt have the connectors but if you want it you can have it



    you can get them off of accords, legends, vigors, i think most mid 80-mid/late 90's honda or acura should have them just make sure its a v6 of course.

    Well I'm not sure of the spces for it though. Hey underated, do these work with DSMs (my theory is if it works w/DSMs then it works with mine)?

    yah they work with dsm's its a 10watt 10ohm resistor pack just like the 4cyl ones

    i didnt know vigors were 5 cyl cars i saw a pack on one but i didnt count the wires lol

    if you dont want to do all the wiring for the pack you could just solder in some individual resistor like this http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=216710

    wiring the resistors inline is easier but i guess how ever you want to do it
