This caught my eye while I was driving down the street. 1987 CRX. 5spd, interior is perfect, not a stain or rip anywhere. The outside however, needs a hood, both front fenders, bump, grill, and headlights. (All there but slightly damaged) I can get that stuff from a shop down here for <$200 new.

It is carburated, and it runs rough, What is needed to swap in a fuel injected engine? Or is it even possible?

My main question is is it worth it? $200 for car, and $200 for body, plus whatever it would cost to do a swap(labor by myself/friends).

 

well pedder7 i think you should just wait and find a 88-91 there alot more fun to work with alot more mods and performance parts list the never ends i got my 1990 hatch for 200 bucks not running

 

Worth it? yes and no.
The carb to fi is a big job.

exactly what i would have said...

 

As stated already, Redpepper Racing is the first gen site. To swap to FI, you have to change out all the fuel system, pump, lines etc including the related wiring and harness. This requires a donor car or a good recycling yard. It has and can be done. Also, there are carbed DOHC ZC engines around.
