Default Worth of a DX to Si conversion...

I have a guy trying to sell me the harness, ecu, dist, intake mani/all sensors, and injectors. What would be a good price for this, and is this all I need?

I own an Si and I'm just telling you that your money is better spent elsewhere. is like 15 hp worth the install ?? ......... you'd be much happier if you saved up your money and bought an engine swap

Injector resistor box is not on your list.... that will be needed.

Even if you use the DX harness (which I also recomend) you still need the Si harness to steal the plugs off of. When I did my swap, I accually unravled both harnesses and put the Si injector wiring into the DX harness. I somehow managed to pull it off so that there are no spliced wires under my hood.

DPFI to MPFI is REALLY REALLY worth it !!! My car felt like it gained 25ft/lbs. of torque, 4-real !!!

I'm going to sell my MPFI stuff to someone at work for $250-$300, so $150 is great deal.

I have a resistor box I'll sell you for $13 shipped if you need one...

ECU's cost about $100 at the junk yards..

Its a good deal..

and maybe that guy with the si has a weak engine... slow is a relative term..

i guess I am biased because going from my R to my Si is such a big difference
