Default low impedance injectors

through a miscommunication with the local speed shop i ended up with a set of low impedance injectors. They've already been run in the car so I can't take them back. does anyone have any experience getting low impedance injectors to run in a car designed for high impedance? I know there's a controller you buy to get it to work, but is that it? plug and play? what controller do you recommend? thanks!

I run an acceleronics driver. It takes some playing with and I cannot truly get my 96 lb. injectors to idle lean enough. You have to hardwire it inline with the injector wires. how big are your imjectors?

Did you say you have the low impedance injectors hooked up to the stock wiring? That would cause excessive current to flow through the stock pcm, potentially burning out something in you computer.

yup... thats what i did! just a big miscommunication between myself and the local speed shop... actually drove the car for 2 days like that... ran fine, but i think thats because i never took it over 3k... i will probably end up with the acceleronics box. ive seen others but they look kinda sketch...

So all you have to do is wire these driver boxes in between the stock injector wires and the injectors? How big are these drivers? Where do they mount? About what do they cost? Is there a down side to using drivers?
