Daniel Sluiters Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 In upgrading the injectors on a ca18det running a version 5 link, does impedance matter? or will the link automatically adjust? The standard ones were 3ohms the new ones are around 19ohms Not keen burn out the brand new ones so thought i would check. Any help / knowledge on this sistuation would be great as we are ready to start the car backup soon. Cheers Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashesman Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 If the old ones were 3 ohms then they would of had ballast resistors wired. Chances are that the ballast resisters are a factory part in the vehicle. They will need to be removed if you fit the new injectors. High impedance (greater than about 6 ohms) must be driven directly from the ECU with no resistors otherwise they may not open properly. You can not burn out high impedance injectors, only low impedance ones...
