resistors and dsm 450's
 

ok i did a search so that i wouldnt have to post this, buti couldnt find an answer. i have the 450's, so now i have to get the resistors? or i read something about my car might already have them? im confused on this topic. if someone could help me out in any way its much appriciated.

Re:resistors and dsm 450's
 

What year and car do you have? :-\

Re:resistors and dsm 450's
 

Haha, that would help. :P

any civic after 91 had no resistor. if you have a 91 then you don't need to get a resistor box. if you have a 92-01 then you need 10 watt 10 ohm resistors

Re:resistors and dsm 450's
 

haha, sorry about that, i have a 98 Civic hx. so where would i get the resistors and anyone have a diagram that shows how and where to install them?

I think someone is selling a box in the classified section.

you can get the 10 watt 10 OHM resistors from radio shack.

Re:resistors and dsm 450's
 

ok thanx for all your help. one thing though, i looked at that link, and i didnt understand it. the silver box, is that what i need to buy from radio shack? or is there something else im not seeing in the pictures?

Re:resistors and dsm 450's
 

no the silver box is what is called a resistor boxtaht you get from the CRX's and 1 and 2nd gen integras. The raido shack stuff is little white resistors taht you solder inline with the injector. Bot i have found do well on the negitive end of the circuit.

Re:resistors and dsm 450's
 

i have mine on the positive i think (yellow/black wire)...works fine...lol i should really find out which it is on now just to know

Re:resistors and dsm 450's
 

You can also use a resistor pack out of a 1st gen turbo laser, eclipse, or talon. These work the same as the crx 88-90. Also I figure if you are running DSM 450 injectors, you should also run the DSM resistor pack.

Re:resistors and dsm 450's
 

and what exactly is the point of the resistor box?

Re:resistors and dsm 450's
 

to resist current. why do you think they call it a resistor? your ecu has certain voltage to control certain injectors. i assume you are putting bigger injectors in and unless you already have a resistor box you would need to put resistors inline with the injector so they fire correctly.

Re:resistors and dsm 450's
 

i seen this posted before and just wanted to say......
10 watt 10 ohm resistor is the same as any other 10 watt 10 ohm resistor.
