Default MPFI swap questions - distributor wiring and fuel lines

I started on my mpfi swap today, and I'm about half done with it, but I have a few questions. I need to know how to wire up the distributor, I'm de-pinning the Si pins and using my DX plug, but the colors don't match from one to the other. Here are the wire colors:

Si-
peach
white/red
white/blue
blue/green
blue/yellow
peach/blue
white

DX-
orange/blue
orange
tan
tan
tan/blue

Also, I need a diagram showing where all the lines and hoses go from the dpfi manifold to the mpfi one. I've got a vacuum line diagram, but I need to know where the others go.

Thanks honda-tech you're the best

Thanks for the link, it's where I got most of my info (including the wiring) from. But I still need to know how to wire up the distributor keeping the DX plug, and a diagram of where the lines and hoses connect from the intake manifold.

I've got a question about the banjo fuel line on the DX, it doesn't seem like it will work. The DX manifold has a hole in the side, the Si manifold has a piece on the end of the fuel rail that unscrews. Do I have to buy an Si fuel line, and if so, can I get this piece at Autozone, etc or is it a dealer only part?

About the distributor wiring, I got this from Hcivic88's site. But why is there two sets of blu/yel and blu/grn wires? I need a diagram like this, but maybe I'm just not understanding it?



Be easy on me, this is my first mpfi swap

Not to thread jack but I have a couple of questions..... Is it absolutely necessary to change the ECU and to me it looks like the DX throttle cable is way to long..does it still work?

you can make the throttle cable work, but it would be good to get one off of a civic with the mpfi, does not have to be an si. also about the fuel. you can dill out the holes an the fuel filter bolts a little bit bigger for more fuel flow, i made both of mine the same size (on one bolt, both holes, on both bolts)

Yes you have to use a PM6 (or in my case which is auto, a PS9) ecu. The DX ecu is set up to run 2 injectors, not 4. About the throttle cable, mine works fine, when I fired the car up, I had to adjust it a little because it 'idled' at 3k, but now it idles normally.

The PS9 comes out the the 90-91 Civic EX auto. It is somewhat rare, hard to find, and fairly expensive when you do. I paid $80 for mine.
