No need for resistors with the 1600s.

the only reason i asked is some people r saying i will fry the power fc ecu with the low impedance 1600cc injectors, im really hoping theres know need for them.

Several people have blown out the injector drivers on the PFC, which are NOT designed for low-impedance injectors. There is no negative to installing resistors other than a little effort -- better safe than $1000 sorry.

this is one of those depends on who you ask sorta things. I went with ralph a ground zero advise and didnt use them when i installed my 1600's I drove it for awhile like that then my motor blew but my power fc never had a problem.
