Icon6 Switched from VW to Honda..

got a 91 Ef Hatch..
nothing is wrong with it too. I'm just wondering what all I would need to do to convert it to MPFI with the intake manifold and fuel injection as well.
What would I need to do to do a swap? I'm glad hondas ECU's are on the passenger side. Is there any good Honda manual's besides Haynes?

thanks,
-Chris

Search for MPFI conversions, there are about 400,000 tutorials on how to do it.

As for manuals the Helms manual is the way to go, you can find it online if you look hard enough.

The best manual you can use for your car is the Helms manual, also known as the Honda Service Manual or Shop Manual. You can probably find one on eBay or at Honda (maybe) for about $30. There's an Electrical Troubleshooting Manual as well.

You obviously have no clue and don't understand the concept of "personal preference". I don't like VWs. Honda is a beter platform (my opinion only) and one of my favorite Hondas is the last CRX they made.

I like Volkswagens, but they are much more expensive to maintain. Mine always needed parts and it was only 4-5 years old. Congrats on finding a nice hatch!

Civics have a way better suspension design for one thing.

well because I don't have to worry about no stupid alarm systems wired to the ignition, other electrical issues, and honestly there's nothing you can do to VW's besides get the ecu chipped or a vr6 swap and an exhaust..
