carb to EFI

**nick_sixx** · 03-10-2008 01:17 PM

i know this has come up quite a bit in threads, but searching for it gives me results such as 'nintendo ds' - 'iphone' and - 'new and improved joke thread'. anyways im thinking im going to buy an ED civic and convert it to efi (either d16 or b16 if i can afford it). just wondering how hard this will be? and what parts i will need apart from fuel pump, injectors...etc etc? cheers

search for carb

there will be lots

you can do it a few ways

swap out the tank for an EFI CRX one

or run the stock pivkup pump to a surge tank, then run an electric pump for that

the underdash wiring and engnine bay wiring will have to be changed/modded to suit the new engine, but its good for if you wanna do a wiretuck..

You have multiple options

Trism pretty much outlined them all due to his pain of search...

yeah looking to do wire tuck. looks ****ing hot but cbf on my EG. a guy on here is selling a b16a motor+box+loom+mounts....how much more do i need for the conversion apart from fuel pump/efi tank? also, if the motor is out of an 89 crx (for the benefit of the doubt built in 89), and i buy a 90 civic built in 89, would i be able to get it mod plated? i know the engine has to be the same year or newer, but just wondering if i would be able to get away with that? otherwise d16y all-motor + fully stripped interior ftw

you can get away with any motor built after 89 modplated

i was gonna do a efi to carb conversion

but ive decided fcuk that

carby is win

so im building a SOHC vtec carby monster

yeah mang your thread is my source of inspirationz. ive found 2 possible project cars...dont know whether to go for red with polished wheels like this: http://image.superstreetonline.com/f...lammed-ef9.jpg

or white with yellowish green (you know, the rays colour) wheels. given my lack of funding it will probs be a d-series efi conversion. or b16a if i dont eat for a month

BBS wheels are hot

but so would the rays colour wheels

i wanted an ef9 front

but its like comparing facelift EK to non facelift

all it is is headlights, and the indicators int eh bars

its not a massive deal

i might end up getting an ef9 bar later, purely for the fact that they have an epic OEM lip, and mad aftermarket lips

motor wise, im going d series, and keeping carby, coz i like to be different, thats why im getting Ronal Turbos

**nick_sixx** · 05-10-2008 11:36 PM

how much are the ronal turbos setting you back? they look expensive + rare. haha one of the 2 cars im looking at has roof racks, i just bought a bike so i could have a mad bike as a bodykit. whats the best carby d-series engine? im looking to spend as little as possible pretty much haha

**trism** · 05-10-2008 11:39 PM

there is no best carby engine

there is only one carby engine lol

the D15.

but they use mad Keihhn carbies

im gonna use the d15 manifold and carbies and bolt them up to the d16 vtec

possibly even find some webber or similar carbs to use

the Ronals are setting me back about 1.3k
