i have done some looking around and i have noticed that my resistor box looks different from everyones. I am gonna be running DSM 450cc injectors that look like this.....

Well my resistor box looks like this....

in this second pic you can kinda see that it has two rows on numbers and letters and it also has a Mitsubishi sign on it.

The thing that looks different IMO from everyone elses is that mine dont have the groovs on top it is just a smooth box.

what yall think?

the injectors look like dsm black tops they should be 450cc but the have a better sparying patter than the blue tops i just saw some on ebay for 160.00
they have a tan top,black top,bluetop and yellow top that would work on hondas.

that might be a mitsubishi resistor box. i think you need a old si resistor box or you can make one they have instructions on homemeadeturbo.com

in a honda im not sure, ive only heard of using the resistor box from 88-89 integras with a 1.6 and si crx's and hatch's. they are cheap and easy to find.

i usually recommend getting a resistorbox from an ef civic or da integra. get an ohm meter and test the leads coming from the box...it should be between 8 and 10 ohms. go to a pull it type yard and you should be able to find the box easily on any mpfi ef or da. worst case just go get some 8-10 ohm resistors from radio shack and put them inline of the ground wire i was showing you when you met me to get your ecu.

to be sure the injectors are 450cc dsm...look on the side of the injector and there should find 450nl or somethink with 450 in it.

cool thanks for the info. i guess i will go looking for another resistor box. at least i have the DSM clips. or do i even need them? will the Honda clips fit the DSM injectors?

Yes they are 450cc injectors. it is printed on the top side of the injector.

i would use the dsm clips unless you want to try and cut the slides/guides off the obd2 clips and possibly your fingers. a dremel w/ a fine tip bit will probably work the best if you decide to keep the obd2 clips on.

i have found a 6ohm resistor box. will that work or do i need a 8-10ohm?

that'll prob work...i'll take a multimeter to mine to double check.
