Yeah since you will have 2 times as many fuel injectors to deliver the power.

I've been told it makes more difference than an intake, a header, and an exhaust on a DPFI car.

after my swap in my 91 hatch, I racved my friend in his Z6 Del Sol and actualy kept ahead of him until 80mph. We both had al of our tools and jacks in the car too, and we both had DX transmissions in our cars, lol. but it was fun.

Cliff Notes: Do the swap, it's totally worth it!

Do any other mods on a DPFI is worthless before doing the MPFI swap. The TB opening on the DPFI is about the size of a golfball. It is very restrtictive; thus putting say, an intake tube of twice the diameter of the DPFI TB opening isn't really doing anything.

DP was like one of the dumbest ideas Honda ever had. My MP swaps are night and day, and I mean its way more fun. I am just keeping the DX motor with MPFI for a while. Not gonna do a swap on the car.

WHAT? 1500 for a DPFI swap??? Man, I'd do it for you for 150 bucks if you lived around me. That's absurd. Do it yourself or find a HT member that will help you with it.
