Default fuel injector resistors?

88 924s
How do you wire in a resistor on a fuel injector?

why would you even want resistors? Like was explained in the other thread you already have a low impedance system there is absolutely no need.

When you get a chance go and take a std OHM (multi) meter, pull an injector clip and test between the 2 connectors on the injector and you will see 2.4 ohm.

SEARCH!
This forum and the 944 turbo forum.

not to be a jerk, but why are you replacing the injectors on an N/A motor? Unless you're going crazy with a stroker or turbo/supercharger, I wouldn't think that you would actually displace enough air to really need the larger injectors...

if you are doing something really cool though, please share

I want to feed my web cam. I have MSD so fire isnt an issue. I want more fuel. The New head will have higher compression and a 5-angle valve job.

Plus a motor will be built pretty soon... and yes it will be stroked!
Hard and fast, just the way I like it.

cool...do you know the specs on the webcam? how much power are you expecting to make?

Do you still have the factory DME? For a 924S, I believe that the injector drivers should be able to handle straight low-impedance injectors, so you would be best off just going that route. RC (or comparable) are cheaper than Porsche OEM, just as good (if not better), and you can get them more closely sized to your application.

Lastly, have you considered providing the additional fuel by simply increasing the fuel pressure? Injectors flow more at higher pressure and adding an adjustable FPR is straightforward

Why do I see a parts car sale looming on the horizon?

A fuel injector company just sponsored me. I can have any injector I want just so long as it is a high imp. (the only low imp he has are 100-150lb). I have a set of high 42lb Bosch EV1's in the mail. I plan on running an adjustable fuel pressure regulator but haven’t picked out one yet. I plan on turning the pressure down because it is better to have more available if needed than not have enough and go lean. I am having a guy in my area tune the car after everything is together. I don’t have the exact specs on the cam but will try to get them tomorrow. Now... I did a search and found nothing on putting in resistors! I guess I’m an idiot but lets not go there. Does anyone make a kit that just plug in or what?

You make everything sound so simple to get HUGE realistic power gains!

I never said it was easy. It just takes money and time.

Unfortunately I have to agree

I am not asking for any opinions of whether or not I will finish the car! I am simply trying to figure out how to put in resistors.

In short you need two ballast resistors, one for each of the two injector circuits. Some people mount them on a small heat sink in the engine bay. It is nothing more than a simple series circuit with power in/power out. The target resistance value of the resistor is determined by the impedance of your desired injectors. The final resistance of each individual circuit should be close to 2.4 ohms +/-.

When you post so many different questions concerning basic information you better be ready for opinions about what you are doing, like it or not.
