Title: If you were buying 10W 10ohm resistors...
Post by: onlyflash944 on August 10, 2009, 12:20:46 AM: Which one would you by from digi-key? This is going to be a cheap resistor box for injectors. I'm no electronix xpert and just wanted some input frome some one else

As cheap as can be. Wonder if reliability is an issue

A bit more expensive but has some better tolerances. Probably will order 4 of these

That 10 ohm shit is just what's found on the shelf at Radio Shack.

No, you can't ask. Take it back!!

Post by: HiProfile on August 22, 2009, 10:34:00 PM: Ohm's Law (for voltage): V = I * R
Voltage = Amperage * Resistance

Add more resistance, and you'll need more voltage to supply the same current. As JD said, less power to a solenoid (injector), and the slower & more erraticly it opens. The honda resistor box I have next to me is reading 6.5ohms fyi. The 2nd style only offers 5 & 10ohm, the other has 6.8ohm. That 5% will maybe affect opening speed, but that accounts for a small amount at idle, and far far less with high rpm & boost.
