alrite dude not brain surgery, get manifold that will fit your head like single cam manifold or dual cam manifold and your goin to need an ecu that is capatible to your engine and the wiring harness unless you know a guy who can do whats known as a "jumper harness" mickey mouse bs thing. not brain surgery u see?

Ok so i dont understand what your doing??? One thread you have is i need a tps sensor for DPFI and this is i neeed to convert to MPFI? ANyways ill answer the question.
1. MPFI manifold I like the D16a6 SI manifold because they are from the same year as your car and have the same wiring
2. MPFI odb0 Dizzy
3. obd0 injectors and plugs
4. Injector resistor box
5. Wire
6. obd0 ecu PM6 for manual tranny
7. Not needed but makes the swap IMO 1000x easier is SI engine wiring harness
8. solder
9. shrink wrap
10. pins to depin the ecu
11. AND THE BIGGEST ONE find a honda buddy that has did the swap and have him help you or you will most likely fail and then ill see another post from you on here like half a dozen other people "MPFI swap Problems" "what now"
READ READ READ AND READ SOME MORE THIS SWP IS NOT A change the radiator swap or battery.... Google is your friend. Please google it before you come on here and write a question

SOHC d-series manifolds from 1988-2000 all bolt up. The ones you should be looking for are the manual transmission versions of the D16A6, D16z6, and D16Y8 (without air injection).

There is a lot of info on this so I'm not sure how you're not finding a list of what you need?

As far as I can remember the only difference when going from the a6 to the y8 manifold was the location of the IAT sensor. What other wiring differences are you thinking of?

2-Distributor from an 88-91 EX/Si Civic/CRX
3-Fuel injectors and two extra plugs because you don't have them (your car only has two of each, you need four total for the conversion)
4-Part of the fuel injection system, it's better if you see a picture of it
5-Self explanatory...I hope
6-88-91 EX/Si Civic/CRX ECU
7-EX/Si engine wiring harness (again not needed and I'm willing to bet that it will make things way more complicated seeing that you have no idea what any of this is)
8-The crap you make electrical connections with THE RIGHT WAY, it looks like Terminator 2 bad guy when heated(if you don't know what that is then don't bother doing the conversion on your own)
9-The crap you wrap your newly soldered electrical connections with THE RIGHT WAY (if you don't know what that is then don't bother doing the conversion on your own)
10-The end of wires that go into a plug, you'll need to depin them and move some around and you may need to add a couple extra to make the conversion work (depinning not absolutely necessary but I'd prefer it).
11-Self explanatory

This isn't rocket science. Off the top of my head:
OBD0 = 88-91 Civic
OBD1 = 92-95 Civic
OBD2 = 96+ Civic
PM6 = 88-91 Civic or CRX Si ecu
In the context of this thread you can assume Si refers to the 88-91 Civic or CRX Si.

Where to get the parts? Junk yards, ebay, message boards, wherever.

If you can't handle searching and figuring this stuff out, you probably shouldn't be attempting this swap. It's not that complicated but you're having trouble with the easy stuff. You'll be screwed when it cones to wiring.

I didn't know how else to explain it!! How do you explain something like that to someone who doesn't know what it is? At least someone got a good laugh out of it.

reading this really inspires me to do an mpfi on mine...I am just nervous I would screw up somewhere..or it won't start or when driving down the road it would just cut out.

Yes but I learned how to search instead of asking people to spoon feed me every little detail. The sooner he learns to find his own information the better off he'll be.

There really isn't much you can do to the car engine wise without MPFI. Might as well get it over with.

I know I want to, but I don't know. Does it effect reliability? How about fuel mileage, does it make that better?

I will have to think, I will keep that in mind though :D

well right now i need to start working
i have dual point throttle body with tps sensor

but i have no idea how to relieve fuel pressure or how to take this off or what gasket's or what bolts to watch not drop.

anyone know a video of like someone taking off there pgfi piece by piece? that would help me alot like pgfi mpfi conversion video would be great :D my friend found an extra pgfi throttle body with tps and dropped it off today!

i'm like day 1 newb being home mechanic

please no flame. my behind is burned from all the others

to relieve fuel pressure just loosen the small bolt on your fuel filter

and what about the rest. i don't want to mess anything up. smart thing says just take this tps off and put it on my car and pray it fixes everything thats been going on cel throttle acting like it its at full throttle at idle like cruise control on the street no foot on gas n it goes by it self to bout 30.... scary....

have had the wrong tps on for about week didnt fix anything now i have the correct tps but i think i should jus swap the entire throttle body for the one with throttle body n tps i got for free today.

but a video would be great im not sure what im looking at im sure theres alot of gaskets and remember where this goes parts

Best thing I can say is do it with someone the first time. I remember doing a job bymyself...infact something as simple as a dizzy rotor. It was hot and was very hard to remember if everything was tight. Also buy a book.

The parts diagrams sometimes help with figuring out how something goes back together. Check out http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/...artsSearch.jsp and bring up your car.
