What kind of car will you be installing it into? Assuming you already have MPFI its not too terrible. Go to http://www.rywire.com/ and look for the harness for your car. Then you'll need a new ECU too and some other little things. Here's an article to get you started http://crx.honda-perf.org/arti....html And by all means do a SEARCH
