Re: 150lb injectors

Our factory ECUs are actually setup to run high impendance injectors. I am not sure what side effects there might be with too much resistance. Possibly not enough power to hold the injector open or slower response, but an extra 1.5-2 ohms over a commonly used 3ohm injector might not be enough to make any difference. If there was too much resistance, it wouldn't be that hard to get the system adjusted back to normal.

OK that make sense. That is why we have our resistor box, to knock down the voltage then I suppose. Now from what I gather, the disadvantage of higher ohm injectors, is a slightly slower reaction time. So if that became an issue with those you said it'd be an easy fix. Is there a way to bump up the voltage to the injectors, that I'm not aware of? Or what is the easy fix you're talking about? New resisitor box with slightly smaller resistors? Or are you just saying with some tuning it'd be an easy fix?
