I know the L-Jet resistor packs are NLA, and while getting my parts ready for refitting the FI on the car I noticed this. I attempted to solder the wire back on to the resistor with no luck, but I'll admit, my solder gun (and solder skills) suck.
I thought when I talked to Clay awhile back he said that tesistor packs from other cars could be used but that the plug end was singular to the 914. So is there a pack I can get, pull the wires from the plug and put into the 914 plug? Should I attempt to find someone who can solder and have them attempt to repair? Or should I just look for a used one in the classifieds? I would ask Clay but haven't been able to get in touch with him. I thought he was going on a 914 outing this week (Talemina?).

I measure 6.2 Ohm. Using 14 volts as a reference, I get 32 watts required. I would use a 50 watt chassis mount resistor. Mouser electronics has them for about 4 to 8 each.

Mouser electronics 6.2 ohm doesn't sound right for the injector, I'd expect closer to 3 ohms. Or do you mean the resistor? You don't want much more than 1 AMP going through the board. You are using 2 resistors so 20w (each) should be OK. I think this is the correct math, I'm I right ? 13.2v/(X+ injector ohm)=AMP |
