Hold on a sec. So these are brand new Siemens injectors that plug right into our cars? Do they need or come with ballast resistors? Please do tell...

AlexE

You still need the resistors........... about 5-10 bucks.

Or you can buy dannos for 70.

AlexE,

Were do you get resistors for $5-10?

AlexE

To be 100% accurate you need the 1.32ohm, however the 1.0ohm works just fine...

You are looking for TMS10-1.0-ND (Aluminum housed - 10W - 1ohm) resistor.. Get few extra as spares...

There are a few companies out there that supply them. You could heat sink them to a piece of Aluminum and away you go.

AlexE,

Thanks for the info. I remember trying to find some resistors some time back and couldn't so do you have any names or anyone I can call or look up to get some resistors?

Thanks.

Matt H

Anyone have pics of what the resistors look like?

I got a pair of resistors separetly from Newark for like $15.00 shipped.

The Newark number for the resistors I got is 01F9895. These are 1 ohm, 50 watt resistors.

As for mounting, I just modeled my installation after the GURU RACING resistor package.

Thanks Rob.

Thanks Alex...Just the info I was looking for...Where did you get yours and what type of business should I be looking for...An electrical supply place?

AlexE

Hey MIke...

Ironically I ended up finding a source locally but I still ordered mine from Guru. A few months ago I was tossing between Vitesse Stage 2 and Map 2 but I decided on Vitesse. I still thank Danno for lots of great advice and I still ordered the Ultimate Head Gasket and Resistors just cause I felt I owed him for his time and knowledge............strangely enough they arrived 2 months later ... hehehe .... anyways

If you can imagine the resistors can be had for even cheaper. Check in the yellow pages under electronics. If you are lucky one of these electronic stores will have a few kicking around. If he has to order them you may have to pay a little more.....

P.S Make sure that if you use slip on connectors with them to at least tie-wrap or tape them down. In my last autocross I had my car flying around so hard one of them came loose. Let me tell you its not fun ending a run with only 2 holes firing .......

So how and where do you connect the resistors? I'm guessing at the DME...

Mike B

Good question sm

AlexE

Yup..... at the DME is the easiest. JUst remove some of the tape from the harness. In an ideal world you should verify the pin numbers (check your workshop manual, As I recall it was a gray and gray/black wire at the dme). Tape it down tightly. If you need more specific details PM me.
