I think I am going to go ahead and do this 140v IDM mod. Richdawg, these are great step by step pictures. Does anyone have any extra resistors laying around that they aren't going to use? Also, I plan on going bigger injectors and everything within the year or so. Is this mod still going to work when i upgrade?

I just did this mod. a few weeks ago. I love it! what performance for such little price. Btw I have a few of the correct resistors left over if anyone's interested. Had to buy 5 and only needed 1. Mine was the e-100.

Did you use a 75k resistor? I think mine should be the same even though its a 95.

Question



Last three numbers of IDM serial number is current volts

Here they are:
IDM-100 uses a 75.0k Ohm (75,000 ohm) 1/2 watt 1% tolerance
Metal Film resistor
IDM-110 uses a 75.0k Ohm (75,000) 1/2 watt 1% tolerance
Metal Film resistor
IDM-120 uses a 73.2k Ohm (73,200) 1/2 watt 1% tolerance
Metal Film resistor

here is my Question are the 75K Ohm and 73.2K Ohm what the stock IDM uses or is that what is needed to bump it up to 140? If these are not the stock numbers than just for $its and giggles what are the stock numbers for this resistor. I am asking this because if the stock app calls for the 75K Ohm and we are replacing it with a 75K Ohm we have done nothing but replaced a aged componet with a new one. (not always a bad thing) What I see is the 100/110 uses the same Ohm value but the 120 calls for a different value. The IDM number is the output and we are all wanting to make them into a 140. In a stock setting they would have different values like the 75 to the 73.2. If these are stock numbers then to make a 100 into a 120 you take out the stock componet and replace it with a 73.2 and to make it a 140 you would replace it with a 71.4K Ohm. I believe in this mod and I want to do it. I just want some more info about what I am changing from and into.<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

The resistor values listed are the new resistors to get to 140 volts
