dropping resistor Q?

Post by **sam31183** » Tue Aug 08, 2006 7:45 pm

Hey, I was wondering if anyone knew if the 18de in the pulsar used the same dropping resistor as the det? Of if I am going to have to try to buy one off of someone online. I already have an full harness, maf, ecu, and ignitor...so this is the last wiring piece I need...Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.

The DET uses the dropping resistor because the DET injectors are low impedance.

The DE doesn't use a dropping resistor because the DE injectors are high impedance.

It's that simple :-)

I don't use a dropping resistor in my DET because I'm using high impedance RX7 nippon denso 550cc injectors. I'm using a Autronic anyway..so it doesn't matter. But for factory ECU..it matters a lot.

Cheers,Chris aka dattodude :-)

Chris is dead on, the DE injectors are high impedence. IIRC 1st Gen DSM's use a dropping resistor that works. Do some searching, it was posted up here a while ago.

Ohh, thanks guys. I did an search for dropping resistors and only came up with one thread that wasnt very helpful. I just typed in dropping resistor tho. If anyone can post more info about the part number of the dsm one and wether or not you have to wire it up differently or anything I would really appreciate it. Like I said, I did do an search but only came up with one thread on dropping resistors and it wasnt much help. I also checked the sticky threads...this would be an good thing to put in the crossover parts lists btw.

Thanks again in advanced.

Hey Sam31183 I have recently accquired a DSM dropping resistor, and I dont need it so I could sell it for pretty cheap.

how much you think? My zip is 98631 if you want to figure out shipping...btw do you know if it has to be wired up any special way or if i can just plug it in like it was the 18det dropping resistor?

or i have a stock one. email me for pics [email protected]

Post by **sam31183** » Thu Aug 10, 2006 9:12 am

how much you want for the stock one? I will shoot you an email in a second tho.

the one on the far left right? 5 wire

i can paypal you asap! I need that cas and the dropping resistors! [email protected]

Post by **sam31183** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 7:46 am

hmmm...maybe my post got deleted. Anyways. I dont know why you said far right...to me the dropping resistor looks like the box attached to the black metal posts on the left. That and the only things on the far right are what looks like an cas and an jackstand. I cant figure out how to send an pm over nico so I will send you another email with an offer for the dropping resistor.

sam, you truly are one giant hill billy...lol

Read it again..it should read...

"Far left, right?"

as in "the dropping resistor is that silver regtantular block on the left side of the picture with five wired coming out of it. Correct or incorrect?"

Post by **sam31183** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 11:25 am

i swear to crap...i read that like 5 times and never did i see left in there.

Post by **Indecisive** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 12:15 pm

it was there, I read it yesterday.

Post by **s14brent** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 5:28 pm

sorry for my bad engrish. but yeah, i have it pending between 3 people. but money talks!!

Post by **sam31183** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 9:35 pm

oh...well does anyone know the part number for the correct dsm dropping resistor and wether or not it has to be wired up differently or is it just plug and play?

Post by **sam31183** » Sun Aug 13, 2006 9:47 am

bizump. If someone has the part number and knows if the dsm dr needs to be wired up any differently that would be great, thanks.

bump

anybody? anybody?

Post by **240sxbobbis** » Wed Aug 16, 2006 7:14 am

is the resistor pack still for sale

Post by **sam31183** » Fri Aug 18, 2006 9:27 am

bump....is this whole dsm dropping resistor thing just an urban myth?

Post by **bb4_96** » Fri Aug 18, 2006 12:37 pm

If anybody needs some dropping resistors let me know

Post by **MasterZenki** » Sun Aug 20, 2006 8:37 am

I need DROPPING RESISTOR!!! i need one ASAP and i am desperate for one....and a Pressure Regulator Control Solenoid Valve if anyone has that....please i need that resistor

Post by **sam31183** » Tue Aug 22, 2006 4:04 pm

bump...anybody know anything more about the dsm dropping resistor? Also, if someone has the factory dropping resistor they want to sell send me an email with how much you want for it shipped to my place, zip code 98631 and email is [email protected]

Post by **MasterZenki** » Thu Aug 24, 2006 11:48 pm

i recently set my CA up with a DSM drop resistor....go look for a 1stgen DSM wiring diagram....follow the wires on which wire goes to which injector and for the CA harness do the same thing then just make em go together...yes it does work and i will make a write up on this later on

Post by **sam31183** » Fri Aug 25, 2006 9:09 am

cool. I will wait for your write up since i dont have much cash right now to buy one anyways....

Yes, the de does have a dropping resistor. Not the ca18de but the ca16de use a dropping resistor.
