resistor mod

[turbosuzuki]

hey guys i did a search about the resistor mod but couldnt find out if it was bad for the truck or not. i found a vid on the net with a truck that had a 1.5 mod and it loped so nice, is this good for the truck?
really would like mine to lope like that

Dont waste your time.

If you did do it, I'd do a 5k resistor.

i hear its no good cause u can not chip the truck then best get a ts chip with custom tunes and be done with it

[BIGBILL105 45]

You can always pull the resistor out in a matter of 30 seconds and then install the chip. I've heard that you could and I've heard that you can't so I really don't know.

im not one to try and mess up the truck lmao and blow somethign up that cost more then the restor id say if u plan on chipping just hold off and wait for the chip you will get more fuel fromt he chip basically does the same thing

You'll proly just mess up your icp and the pigtail for it. waste of time imo. its cool off the bat, but gets old quick. The more resistance you have (i.e. the smaller the number on the resistors) the greater the injection pressure becomes. However! The catch is when it starts high, it has nowhere to go. the truck will fall flat on its face at higher rpms. It also affects the timeing (hence the lope), which is BAD on a stock diesel's components. It also doesnt tune the trans for the hp and timing, which is bad on the torque convert and clutches. All in all the resistor mod is bad for the truck. Messes up pigtails, sensors, trans, timing.... It's cool for a very short period, then you begin to realise the toll its taking on the truck.

ok thanks for all the replys guys, i will just wait to get a chip. i was just looking at doing it for the lope, guess i could just get a lope tune. iam not into that smoke crap though. thanks again

Hey man not sure if you have got a programmer yet or not but I have had really good luck out of my hypertech. Great programmer
