    anybody hardwire an EFI conversion?

    im considering buying a prelude that is carbed. i was wondering if its possible to wire everything directly to the ECU from the engine harness and skip all the wire swapping.

    i know id have to change out the fuel tanks and such, but doing an EFI conversion like that to a prelude isnt much different from an accord is it?

    you are on your own on that one bud. i know it will take a lot of wire, a lot of tylenol, and shit load of time.

    im considering it mainly for the fact that at $250 it has tranny problems, but ive got a rebuilt engine for it soon enough with a spare tranny. also, for $250, i cant find a prelude wiht as little rust as this one for the price. i could care less if the wiring took me a few months to do, cause any project i start usually takes that long anyways

    Well, I thought about that some time ago. I bought another Accord (pics comming soon) and I was exactly thinking this again.

    I came to the conclusion that it's really not less of a job to do this since you have to remove the dashboard anyway to pass the main fuel feed line...
