ill say first timer doing DPFI to MPFI it will take u abour 1-2 hrs.....
with experience.. like me .u can do that **** in about 35 min......
(wiring only, and well done, no shitty jobs!)
add another .5-1 hr to change manifolds......

 

i set aside a weekend to do mine, my car was down for a week (wrong parts, broken parts, had to pull and replace manifold 3 times because of vaccum leaks, etc)

but I'm probably the worst case senario

Wiring was no problem at all. I re-pinned everything with an si harness in such a way that there are NO splices under the hood. I even used my old dpfi dizzy plug by the firewall for the 4 wires that needed to be added from the ecu.

I did mine in about an hour. Use a soldering iron for all wire splices and be sure to make a connection in the engine bay so that if and when you need to remoeve the engine it will be a simple unplug as opposed to cut then splice when you go back in. A trip to your local junk yard to get the ecu plugs is well worth the time and effort. While you are there get the resistor box, drivers side fender weel near the firewall along with the injector harness to the intake. If you have the helms manual or a copy of both the dx and SI engine wiring it will help alot. Hybrid Honda has an article detailing exactly what to do.

what you trying to say

mine took 12 hrs total, didnt have a dizzy, fpr or a proper evac hence the 12 hrs. wiring is about 15 min. oh i had a hacked up dizzy harness so i had to re do that... trying to get an obd1 dizzy to work sucks. that was a waste of 5 hrs prolly

if you have all the parts plan on 2 hrs mabey
