I was only getting annoyed because it seemed that bvichmgnet was trying to pull apart the fact that i said it isn't possible, when i corrected myself to say that i never emant impossible, i meant i should have said that it was most likely a VERY BAD idea.
The thing is, bihmgntm are you trying to trick the ECU to think its a different ohm injector, or are you trying ot trick the injector to think its a different ohm injector?
Becasue i look at it this way., he wants to take a 17 ohm injector, and bring it down to 4 ohms. (you can't change a 17 ohm injecotr into a 4 ohm injector, you cna only change the load on the ECU) so now wiring a resistor in parallel is pointless. because that 17 ohm injector is going to behave like a 17 ohm injector, no matter if there is a resistor in parallel. Do you understand waht i am trying to say? its just a different part of the circuit. Any load on a circuit if you want to dumb it down, is basically called shorting out your battery. Except, theres benefits to this shorting out. with a lightbulb, its light, with a motor, its motion... etc.
energy is not lost. So wheres the extra energy going if the load (more current) on the ECU is greater??? The difference is getting wasted as heat out of the resistor. Hurray.
Now when you wire your injectors with a resistor in parallel, YES you have successfully lowered the ohm load on your ECU, and NOT that injector. the injector still works like a 17 ohm injecotr its part on the LOAD of the ECU has not changed. and that can STILL be proved by V=IR. and you can still prove to me that because that if it has less current it won't affect the way to works, and i can still prove to you that wiring an resistor parallel to the injector is pointless, because liek you said, less current makes no difference. So WHY wire a resistor in parallel? Why make the current load on the ECU greater if current ot that injector doesn't matter?? Why make the ECU work hareder for NO reason at all??? the current draw from the injector was PREDEFINED from factory, when they said "i am going to deisng this injector to be a 17 ohm injector". Just like when Kicker designed my subwoofer for my car and said it was going to be a 4 ohm subwoofer.
Even if i took that subwoofer and hooked it in parallel with another 4 ohm subwoofer. that 4 ohm subwoofer is still a 4 ohm subwoofer.!!! Even if my amplifier is putting out 300 watts instead of 150 watts. But thats 300 watts at 2 ohms. what that mean? it means that if your split that load in half, you get 150 watts RMS at 4 ohms. it means that my 4 ohm subwoofer is still a 4 ohm subwoofer. it means my amplifier can now put out 150 watts to each subwoofer at the cost of 4 ohms each, at the cost of a 2 ohm load when wired in parallel. It means the load is split equally to each subwoofer accordingly. It means that 150 watts rms at 4 ohms is 150 watt rms at 4 ohms.
So i replace one subwoofer with a resistor, the one kicker subwoofer is still a 4 ohm subwoofer. no matter if i make that resistor 1000 ohms or 1 ohm. its still going to behave like the subwoofer it is.
I hope to God that you understand what i am talking about now.
