Danny,


Try www.cpc.co.uk part number RE03488 Ł1.82 +vat

http://cpc.farnell.com/RE03488/compo...requestid=3470


Its not exactly what you specified but it will do the job you want nicely.

(I assume you want to ballast a coil or injectors !)

Simon

Not sure, its to up my coil resistance from 0.6 ohm's to around 3.0 ohms.

Danny, that will be perfect in that case, doesnt have to be exact as the wiring will drop a few tenths of ohms nicely anyway.

I will always be a c*nt as its easier to do and no one gets dissappointed

You cant use a cossie coil on dannys without a ballast resistor as it would need
the correct ignition amp to drive it as that acts like a ballast.

i have been running it with a 1.5ohm resistor, but the EMS 5 is getting alittle hot, even tho the tech guy @ micro dynamics said it would be ok at 2.1ohm's, it was designed for 3.0ohm's so just want to get it nearer that.

Which your item will do perfect.

Thanks..
