There is a lot of work nessicary to convert a carb car over to fuel injection, including dropping the fuel tank and installing the nessicary return line. I don't know all the specifications involved, but I know it probably won't be a weekend project.

Yea I would suggst doing an old integra swap instead because the engine would be a straight bolt on and a 88-91 you would need custom mounts...by the way I have a donor car if you are intrested.. I believe it is a 87 I had a customer bring me they car and he wanted me to swap it into is 86 civic but then he then decided to get a 89 civic so I did some work for him and kept the car..It is for sale if you are intrested..I am in south jersey...Have fun and good luck!!!

ya it best to have a 86-87 donor integra and a donor 85-87 crx si. that would be the best. if you do decide to go through with this swap though, pm me with any questions you have. i'm in the midst of doing this swap as we speak! good luck

You need at least a custom driver's side mount, and good luck figuing out what to do about the transaxle and axles.
