  • Carbie to FI??

    So i am considering switching The Steve from carbed to fi...i already have on hand
    Fi manifold complete (injectors fuel rail etc..)
    External Fuel pump that runs 40 to 60 psi
    Fi distributor

    What other little pieces and parts would i need?
    Do i have to switch the ecu?
    Im thinkin i would need a different coil
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, just trying to decide if i want to go through with this or not.
    The Steve, 89 L, 93 b3, 81 escort carbed, 5 spd now, metro 13s, 88 323 exh mani, very comfy Suzuki forenza front seats...47 mpg as long as it is above 40°! LOL!

    Engine wiring harness, ECU, VAF, intake tubing. Not sure on the coil but I believe it’s different from the carby one

        I did my 89 I changed every wire on it from head lights to tail lights not that hard just time consuming even had to change dash wiring and if I did it i'd switch gas tanks and all that way your gauge still works

            I actually do have the vaf and intake tube! Found them hiding in a box so all that is left is wiring harness and ecu and coil.

              the wiring is all different from carb to efi the plug ins also it all unplugs just label it all maybe take some pics I did not label any of it but it isn't that hard just time consuming I pulled out all interior changed all wiring in a day or so if I remember correctly I did the complete swap in a weekend from carb b3 to efi b8-me and I say change gas tank that way your gas gauge works and you can just use efi fuel pump if you have questions just ask i'm not on here much since I sold my festiva a few years back but i'm looking for another one so I stop in to see if any for sale anyways a lot of people on here have did swap
