Default dual point fuel injection to multipoint fuel injection

dpfi = dualpoint fuel injection
mpfi = multipopint fuel injection

my d15b2 has dual point fuel injection and the new engine im going to put in D16z6 has multipoint fuel injection. im doing the complete swap in my civic EG 1994. both engine are from a civic UK 1994 eg series so the they both OBD1.

now if i do the complete swap with D16z6 ecu and wiring harness ive been told do not need to run vtec wires as the D16z6 is already vtec wired but will i need to convert dualpoint to multipoint fuel injection.

No because the injectors are still bolted to the new motor, and the wiring harness you need is already connected to them. Disconnect the bulkhead connectors. Heave the old engine out, and ho the new one in. Plug up the new connectors to the old chassis harness. What' you'll need is the ECU from the other car because the fuel maps are different in those ECU's. Not familiar with the UK models, but in the US, that's all you'd have to do.

Default civic conversion

thanks for the help. ive got another question whichis that my civic d15b2 has drums/shoes on the rear and the civic with the D16z6 engine has discs on rear.

so when i convert the engine will i nned to install the discs on the rear. if so how hard is it and will the civic with the drums have brake lines running to them so i can simply take the discs and trailing arm off the other car and transfer it.

thanks

yes it will fit...no you dont have to with the swap....you will need to bleed brakes....on a scale of one to ten for hardness??? i would say 7 ish with a floor jack...the hardest part is taking off the metal shield for the exhaust for the ebrake cables......then the second hardest is removal of the stock exhaust since shit is rusty or brittle.....make sure you get an alignment...otherwise your tires will be toast in no time

Default brakes swap

hi tnaks for the nfo but still confused if the civic with the drums/shoes have brake lines already running or will i have to install new lines.

i will have to get a new ebrake cable or remove from the d16z6 car then use the discs from the d16z6 car and connect how drums were connected (trailing arm etc.) am i correct?

finally just wondering if it is worth changing drums to disc at all. will it improve braking alot or is it ok to keep drums since ive heard 70% of the braking is from front discs.

thanks

you dont have to install any brakes lines....just take apart...and put the discs on...you will see when you get ther on this project

remove the ebrake cable from the d16z6 car. i believe they are longer so they will be needed.

depends.......aggresive driving results in brakes beiong overheated. aka brake fade. discs aloow braking temps to be reduced. a good drum setup can actually stop quicker then most discs if adjusted properly. but adjusted properly is the key word. also....properly adjusted drums will have a better pedal feel and will be able to lock up the rear tires faster then discs. but discs cool better.

The d16z6 has a 4-2-1 exhuast manifold. You'll have to match up the exhaust system from the d16z6 to your car. I'd also use the O2 sensor from the d16z6. I don't think anyone mentioned this.
