DPFI - MPFI swap

[Melt]

JDM=poop USDM=woohoo

LOL, although I must say it would be sweet to get some SiR's here or some decent corner lenses so we wouldnt all have to go out and get clears

By the way, do people with JDM stuff go out and get USDM? If so, some of us USDM'rs with stock parts could get rich

Like I said before, do the swap if you are low on cash. It is a budget mod that will give you more power and help you take advantage of other mods. If you have an automatic try finding an 88-89 integra automatic ecu or 90-91 civic ex auto ecu. Otherwise you might want to think about a manual conversion. Good Luck man

ok...enough said...Your DX ecu should work but you need to swap a few pins. June 2002 issue of Sport Compact Car magazine has a step by step instruction on converting DPFI to MPFI along with a list of stuff you need. Let me know if you want me to read and type a few stuff there for you.:flash:

Thinking about doing the MPFI swap using parts from mdnnccivicrcr's EX, he said he still has and would sell me all this shit aside from the head

Intake manifold
Injectors
ECU
Fuel rail
Injector resistor box
head (optional)
Distributor

What do you guys think is a good price, and what obstacles can I expect when I put all the shit in, I dont want to embark on something too difficult due to my lack of mechanical knowledge, and because with my car I am more into audio and a couple of exterior mods (nothing too fancy) than I am into the engine. The only reason I have exhaust is because the stock one rusted through and fell off, the only reason I have a high flow cat is because the stock one clogged. My short ram intake is for acoustical benefit and it was cheaper than a new air filter.

Just get a bottle Melt and should your motor blow...it would be a good reason to do a swap.:flash:

No, seriously...DPFI to MPFI is easier than you think...and would feel a pretty good increase in power. But as you said, if you're more into exterior and sound system mods, forget the MPFI and stick w/ what you have.

im not doing it anymore, a lot of the parts from the EX are messed up. I am however buying a haynes manual off him for $5
