3 rotor secondary injector resistors...

i'm having trouble finding a resistor rated high enough to use with the secondaries.

i was told to wire all 3 in parallel, but since the resistance would be too low, to add the resistor...the one i can't find.

so how about i steal the resistors out of an 87 t2 and wire one 10(ish) ohm resistor per injector, instead of the one 2 ohm resistor in the power line?

anyone do it that way with any success? it sounds totally reasonable to me, but i just want a second opinion so i don't get the computer pissed off.
thanks

thanks
if i recall wolf can drive down real low.... down to 1.2 ohms

whats the rating on your injectors?

whats wrong with one 2 ohm resistor?

seems like youre making some extra work for yourself

3 2-3 ohm injectors are borderline in parallel.

nothing's wrong with one resistor, but i already said (twice) i can't find it. radioshack has 5 watt max. i don't think that's enough.

wolf powers the injectors at 4amps peak and 1amp hold.

5w / 12v = .4166666666666 amps.

ack i accidentally posted early.

you basically need 4(amps) * 12(volts) = 48(watts) at least...

gimme a sec ill post a link to one.

or you could just do what you said and use the tII resistors...

1/(10+2) + 1/(10+2) + 1/(10+2) = 3/12 = 4 ohms total resistance...

(link coming shortly for single resistor if you want to go that route)

since all the 100watts were out of stock, save for a 2ohm adjustable....

heres a 2ohm, 225 watt resistor

OR...

do what i did.

Use the resister pack out of an rx7. mine mounted real neat on the fire wall. bam, perfect resistance for my secondaries

thats what he was saying...

i was just postin the stuff for a single resistor if he wanted less stuff to mount and everything

seeing as how i'd like to get that part wired today, i'll go ahead and do the t2 thing. but thanks a LOT for the link...i searched for like an hour and a half online and didn't come up with anything.

you duh man!

rofl...i can't find the t2 resistors :p
i know i've got 2 or 3 boxes laying around somewhere but i can't find a one of them.
doesn't it figure?

i can't find **** since i cleaned the shop.
