S50B32 + piggyback = injector faults ... Resistor details?????

BMW M3 E36 S50B32 fitted the AEM FIC8 piggyback - all fine except I need to resolve the usual injector faults problem... Does anyone know what resistors are needed for this fix?

Thanks for the help!

I have intercepted the injector signals with the FIC as per the schematic, which should allow for changing the fueling curves...

On top of this I have faults on only 5 out of the 6 injectors.
Can the Siemens ecu be that sensitive??

I thought it may be an issue with the response time but no joy there.

Am out of ideas soon...

Possibly.
I think it has figured out it isn't in control of the injectors. If it is purely down to resistance, you can measure the impedance of an injector, then measure it at the loom with the piggy back included and see if there is a difference there.

Do you know any of the code numbers from the faults?

Thanks for the reply mate.


I read these codes about 10 minutes ago.

Here are the codes - interesting they're only on cyls 1 - 2 - 3 and 4...

I am guessing that they come up following the firing order and then when the engine runs its does not need to kick out for cyls 5 and 6??


Earlier fault logs show the errors at different rpms.

Thanks for the help.

TheEnd - I get what you meant in your first post!!


The FIC drives the injectors...and no longer the Siemens ECU...

So no current/ open circuit (signal to the FIC only) so the ECU assumes there are problems with the injectors or supplies...


So the solution may be to fit resistors between the ECU Signal and Ground wires to simulate an 'injector'.
The fic then takes care of itself and the actual injectors...

I'll order the resistors 16ohms...25W enough?

Thank you for your help mate.
