Ok... So I'm thinking 1300's for secondary injectors. What's the difference in high and low impedance? Or is there a choice? Can someone walk me through, I'm retarded.

The stock injectors are high impedance. If you get low impedance replacements, you need to wire in some resistors.

the drop in 1200-1300's are usually high impedance, arent they?

bascially the system is designed to flow x amount of current at y resistance, and if you change y, the ecu blows up, so you have to keep it close to the same

I find it amusing that there is a mentally challenged individual installing Hi flow injectors. Take a vieo of that one, huh?



But like Mike says, keep them similar impedance! You can measure the stock injectors using a digital multimeter.

I've heard bad things lately about RC's rebuilds. I thought they were great until I heard of injectors failing after a simple blueprint from them. Where else are ya gonna go, though?

i think it was around 200-300$ shipped and everything.. 24hour turnaround. I've heard as well about the injector problems from RC, but i'm not one to think that they mess up injectors. They've been doing it for a LONG time.



Lot of other factors can cause the injectors to fail.... bad shipping, bad install, mishandling your own injectors.. **** goes wrong.. but with as many people that use RC, think about the 1 or 2 things you hear bad...



I'd send them to RC, my injectors work great.. flow great.. no problems what-so-ever.

Yeah.. I'm sure there are way more good stories than bad! Do you happen to have an address lying around? Or a contact number?
