go on ebay and buy one of the "swap CD's" and it has tons of write ups on how to change over the wiring they're only like 5 bucks shipped.

Wiring is plug and play, but you must wire MPFI, once that's done, it's good to go aslong as ECU and engine is OBD0.

It's 4 wires, a resistor box and a different plug for the dizzy. I can do it no problem. I did an MPFI by myself on my civic and the mpfi swap has never given me troubles, it's everything else that has!

or use fouthgenhatches guide.

you MUST DO THIS. then the engine will work.

thats all there is to it. if you dont want to, send the wires out to someone to do it for you.
