I've got a dropping resistor pack from a DSM. If you're motorset didn't come with it, you need to get one! $25 shipped.



I can take Paypal

If you don't have this on your harness, your injectors won't fire and the car won't run.

UNLESS, somebody has done something weird like switch to high impedance injectors and bypassed the resistor pack.

i just got my injecotrs serviced, and they are true ca18 injectors. my car ran ok.

I'm trying to figure out where it plugs into as well, this is what my harness looks like, there is only one plug where this seems to fit but i know this is for the coilpack harness (unless im wrong). I dont see any plugs that it'll fit into near the MAF.

Plugs in right next to the MAF wire and the igniter plug.

The plug you have circled is for the ignition coil subharness.

So is something wrong with my harness? I really dont see that plug anywhere. Am I going to have to hard wire it to the ecu?

He has an automatic wiring harness. That is the resistor pack for the auto transmission.

So is this little resistor pack (from the automatice harness) going to work just like the other one? It only has 2 wires coming from it instead of the 5 my other resistor pack has.

Also this harness shouldnt give me too much problems right (its going to be a 5 speed)?

You can still use that engine harness. The other place I circled should be where the plug for the resistor pack is.

I've done a CA swap also. My harness didn't come with that. Do you still have that?

I don't have any DSM ones, but I do have some Honda 2.5 ohm resistor packs. Same thing...

Is there anywhere I can get one or Is there a usdm car that would have something like that that would work.

Do you still have that resistor box off a honda, if so how much? That is the only thing I am lacking on my CA swap.

Crad, would you do 10$ plus 13.85to put it into a express flat rate envelope on tuesday? i need one for a 800hp thunderbird project. its a high impedance car and only injectors large enough are low impedance

I COULD. But if I sent it out priority tomorrow morning, you should get it by Tuesday. Contact me at chris @ escic.com and we can work out the details.

And to qwade25... my paypal address is chrisradivonyk @ hotmail.com
