DIY resistor pack ?


Pred

Recommended Posts

I've made a few of these over the years.

 

If you download any of the link ecu manuals off (http://www.linkecu.com) there is a diagram and resistor values for various sequential and grouped configurations.

 

Just need to mount them in a nice alloy box to act as a heat sink and weather shield.

 

The difficult bit is working out which of the black and orange wires in the loom are injector feeds as there are more than six and some are spliced into others (it's a real ba5tard).

I have, many times. I either used a genuine Toyota resistor pack or one made to the spec using the ones I suggest.I use the same resistors Link used in their resistor packs.

 

I think the 550cc are 2.6 ohm so as long as you make up over 6 ohm the injector drives are happy.Anything over 5 ohm is generally regarded as High Impedance (apart form a certain special Bosch injector who's application i forget).

 

The Resistance depends on how many injectors you are driving on each injector channel.

 

1 = 4.7 ohm

2 = 2.2 ohm

3+ = 1 ohm

 

Toyota fuel pump ballast resistor units are 1ohm and I use them as ballasts on early Toyota's engines that only run two injector channels like the 1G-GTE, 4A-GE & 5m-ge.

The whole point of a Peak and Hold injector is opening speed. If you add to much resistance you will negate the advantages of have it and may have well just bought a saturated 550cc version @ 12+ohms.

 

Saturated injectors are quite lazy at low pulse width, so if they are big (like a 850cc Sard) or the engine has big cams or throttle body, they can make mapping idle, low load and acceleration enrichment a royal pig.

 

I'm looking at making a "Peak and Hold" driver module instead of a resistor pack for the future.

 

I think AEM do a P&H module, why don't you buy one of these?
