I am pretty happy with my stock FI. But after seeing some of the setups at Okteenerfest, I thought this might be worth trying.
The stock system is not easy to modify and get things running correctly. I spent a lot of time making minor adjustments by trial and error. While I am not looking for huge HP gains or anything, it is pretty clear that the mods I have could potentially benefit from a bit more precise control. Going to start with fuel only at this point to get things going and see where it leads me. Any help or suggestions for set up would be appreciated. |

Ok let’s be clear. I am not no wiring expert! But as I understand things the micro squirt controls the injectors by providing ground. Meaning the controller switches ground on an off as needed to fire the injectors. Because I have low impedance injectors I have to use resistors. Below is the guidance from the manual on how to wire.
Based on this it shows the resistors on the controller side which is ground. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) This can’t be correct can it? Especially when it stats than an individual resistor is required for each injector. The resistors have to go on the 12v wire don't they? |

Question, how much voltage and current at are the injectors designed for? What is the current the MS is designed to sink? |

Lets say the injector resistance is around 2.5 Ohms and I am adding another 3 Ohms so that would be about 2 amps based on 12V. |

Does anyone have the actual specs? |
