Are you talking about changing to MPFI?
If you have all under the hood parts and ECU. Then you're good to go.
plug n play.

For electical you just need to do the wiring, change out distributors, add resistor box, and change out the ECU.

Mechanical changes are only the complete intake manifold from throttle body, sensors, and injectors.

You can also change out the cam as well for a bit more power.

first off let me ask... Are you talking about wanting to change your dual point fuel injection (dpfi) to the multi point fuel injection (mpfi) that's usually found in the SI?


If that's it then you better use the search.....

for future reference, yoru car is the dx model, which we call 'dual point injection' , or 'DPFI' .. it is still considered PGMFI. it is still considered fuel injection, though you can make the argument that it is 'throttle body injection'.

it has one injector for two of the cylinders and another injector for the other two.

the other type, which you called PGMFI, is called "multi point fuel injection" , or 'MPFI'... it has one injector for each cylinder.

with <U>AMERICAN</U> crx's:
all dx models are DPFI
all hf and si models are MPFI

see above for info on changing over from dpfi to mpfi, or do a <U>SEARCH</U>.
