carbed 88??:thinking:

anyways, carb --> FI swap is a very involved swap. Youd basically need a FI engine, ecu, and a complete fuel-setup swap. Thats not something that I would do.

Do you have a single point or dual point fuel injection or a different year than 88??

some '88 european civic have carb (D14A1)
i already have the FI D15B2 with its harness, DPinjector, sensor, and was thinking about wires connections. if my actual wires would fit the FI equippements (ECU, valves, map, sensor etc...) i could buy these parts...

D14A?

I've heard of a D13A and a D15A, but never a D14A. Must be a typo.

Anyway, the carb to fuel injection conversion is difficult enough to just sell your car and buy an FI car. You need to replace the entire intake manifold, pretty much all the underhood electronics, the fuel lines, fuel pump, fuel tank, virtually everything.

I ran a websearch and came up with it earlier, sounds kinda neat.

For other Americans here, it's a twin carb'ed 1.4L. We never got anything twin carb'ed over here, stock at least.
