Injector resistance ballasting??

Injector resistance ballasting??
Okay in my quest to find a different (Read cheap) way of retaining the zetec fuel rail and use RST management, I have been searching high and low for Side-fed injectors that have 16ohm impedance and a suitable flow rate, but to no avail
What i have found is loads of Side fed injectors with very generous flow rates but slightly too little resistance, 15.6 ohms whereas i need 16ohms
What i'm wondering is if it would be possible to run a resistor of suitable resistance in-line with the injectors' positive lead to adjust the resistance???
I have seen this idea being mentioned on a website but could'nt find any specific details!
Cheers
Matt

If the difference is 0.4 ohms it will not make any difference at all, natural variance of individual injectors could well be this much.
There is a trick you can use with low impedance injectors, by placing a resistor in the earth lead of each, but certainly not needed with these figures.
The injector drivers(ecu) will easily cope with this variation with no ill effects.
