You have three options, two easy, one hard.
Easy #1: Sell your DX and buy an '86-87 Si. Drop in a fuel injected browntop ZC.
Easy #2: Harrass an importer into finding you a carburated browntop ZC. Drop that into your DX.
Hard #3: Convert your entire car to fuel injection using all the Si parts, including the gas tank, pump, and lines. Then drop in a fuel injected browntop ZC.

If you are really mechanically and electrically inclined, it shouldn't be that much a problem. If not, you're in for a hell'of'a good time.
