i can get one for $350 a full FI 89. would it be worth swapping in my dx? i know it would help when i go to do a b series swap. does it really improve power and be better then going weber. $25 more to go with the weber.

yup its worth it, especially if you wannt do a b-series swap in the future
yeah its worth it...but can u do it yourself?
Dude. i can do anything.
lol well i have just about every tool you can think of. ive done 2 b series swaps in ef civics. and ive taken this bitch apart like 300 times. so i dont think pulliing stuff off one car and putting it in mine will be that hard. If i do get it im going to take the engine out of that one and put it in mine. But when i get it out im going to take the power steering out. and clean and paint the engine bay. then i was going to just take the dash out to do the wiring.
Im going to shave the carbed head and sand blast it and rebuild it after i get the car runnin right. Then i was going to try my hand at porting it then throw a b16 intake mani on there. It all depends on if this fucker with the car will call me back. lol
oh yea btw do you need to have that charcoal canister? I ripped mine out cos it wasnt hooked up and didnt look important.
well you're gonna have to take out the dash and all the shit behind it to swap the loom & install fuel feed line anyway, unless you just make a stand alone loom from the other car & do something hory for the fuel line
son of a bitch i forgot about the gas tank and lines.
it can be done tho
If it's just a stock Accord ECU forget it. They aren't tuneable so why bother? The money would be better spent on OBD1 parts or a standalone ECU.Quote:

the entire car.
yeah do it and also upgrade to the obd1 so when you go turbo you will be able to tune it and have a reliable fast sleeper
Oh, well that's not so bad then. You could also get some back by parting out what you don't need and scrapping the rest. Just the carcass is probably worth $50 at least for the steel.Quote:

weber 38 is cheaper easier and will get you to about the same hp numbers, and you dont need a laptop with softwere and soldering skillz to tune it
This might sound stupid, but why not sell you're current car and with the $350 you have to buy the other one find a nice, clean car that is already fuel injected?
I'm new to 3g's, so bear with me if that is silly sounding.
thats what i did...i paid 500 bucks for a fuel injected car that i spend now close to 10k on it...on modifying itQuote:

im doing the swap in a single stall garage, on a set of dolleys, and i have to push the car to either side of the garage every now and again. it is also around -15C in my garage, but im going to try and insulate the door itself soon.
