hey say if a car has low impedence injectors
is it possible 2 install high impedence injectors on it??
really dont know a thing about these injectors
please explain someone

yes.

you can use high impedance injectors in place of low, but not vice versa.

electrically, it's like speakers on an amp. trying to drive 2-ohms through an amp designed for an 8-ohm load will likely burn out the amp. using an 8ohm speaker on a 2-ohm amp will work reliably.

ok ............but what's the difference..........is it a performance part..........if so......in what way

yer is what the pros an cons of high vs low impedence?

allyuh didn't click the link... :roll:

=========================
The primary advantage of low impedance injectors is a shorter triggering time. When large injectors are fitted to high output engines, low impedance injectors will often give a better idle quality because of this fact.

The primary advantage of high impedance injectors is the fact that less heat is generated in the drive circuit and often no external resistors are used.
=========================

there's no performance advantage of one over the other.
