Default does aem v1 need injector resistors?

as the title says im working on the project and run into a few problems so if as wondering if the injectors need resistor pack?

the setup is:
  • aem ems v1
  • greddy/denso 720 cc low imp
  • aftermarket fuel rail
  • aem fuel pressure regulator

ive been looking but i know the v2 doesnt need it but, there is no certain answer as yes or no it is needed

yes any sc runs stock high impedence top feed injectors from factory yours are low so yes you need to put resistor pack on it...do u need 720cc's? how much power u trying to make???

i am going to run the aem standalone v1 ecu, i understand that the oem ecu will need injectors but what about standalone? i also know that the aem v2 has built in resistors

planning to to make somewhere around 600hp.

Yes you need a resistor box with AEM V1, It's all what kind of injectors you are running ..so if you have low impedance injectors then you will need a resistor box.
The ECU needs to see 12ohm, but your injectors are 3ohm so the resistor box add 9ohm that will make both you and the ECU happy lol.

I really depend on what kind of power you are ttrying to make, and what fuel are you running?
You can get some high impedance 750cc and make 600rwhp on pump gas and you are set.
You can also get some 1000cc low impedance and just get a resistor box from an Acura Legend and wire it in and you are done.
