#287445 Ok now im basing this off my knowledge from taking a 1st gen crx si and putting in a 1st gen integra engine into it since most of the civics that year were carbed.....

you would need either a different engine or drivetrain setup with the correct intake manifold injectors and such its probaly going to be easier to also grab the front chassis harness that goes from headlights to firewall across again and back into the firewall to the other side that big main harness which will allow you to use the obd1 ecu etc since obd0 is a whole different ball game but im going to be talking obd1 since its the best route to go in my opinion....so you have engine corrasponding intake manifold with obd1 injectors obd1 engine harness for that engine and obd1 chassis harness for fuel injection the other thing now im not sure if this is true with egs but you will need a gas tank one that will work with a fuel pump setup for fuel injection at least thats how it is on the older carb to fuel injected swaps and with that the fuel pump leveler etc other then that i think that just about covers it its a fair bit of work but if you can get a parts car thatd be your best investment you get all that

Philippine Engines have there own codes.so its going to be tough. if you can post pictures of your current engine, and ecu that would be more beneficial.
