Auto MPFI swap on CRX DX completed - PICS
I finished my MPFI swap on my automatic CRX about a month ago, but ran into a few problems along the way like a bad distributor, then my timing belt broke. But she's up and running good now, so I thought I would post a few pics of my car.
I am supposed to get the car painted Dodge Viper blue soon, so don't mind the unpainted body kit.
Here are pics:






Let me know what you think

Yeah, once the color was on the valve cover I didn't think I would like it, but it's starting to grow on me

It wasn't very difficult at all, I used fourthgenhatch's MPFI instructions and got it done in a few days. Heres a link:

YES, the extra power is very noticeable! Before when I pressed the gas, the car would almost hesitate, then slowly build speed. Now when you press the gas, it kicks down a gear and takes off like a rocket.
I've heard some people say the power gains are not that noticeable, but they have all been 5spd cars. I guess in the automatics you notice a big difference.

The kickdown cable is off my DX, and I bought a whole throttle body including bracket and throttle wheel off a 90-91 automatic Civic EX sedan.

LOL, I hate that but I don't really know where else to put it. I think before I put my header on, the a/c hose ran right over the exhaust manifold. But now my header gets so hot, I think it would melt if I put it there now.

I think I replied in your MPFI thread
Mine shifts slightly hard and doesn't shift till about 3K rpm, but it shifts okay (if that makes sense).
