Default 1991 Hatch Carb to EFI

I recently picked up a 91 Hatch, but it is a Carb engine. I think I am going to convert it over to EFI because I am going to rebuild the D15B and add a turbo. Has anybody done the carb to efi conversion? I know I will need the efi intake, and also some fuel lines/pump, what about the ECM/ECU?

I am going to do a swap at some point, and I know having a carb engine might complicate my swap. Mainly I just want to be prepared for my swap down the road.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

prob be easyier tosell that one and getting injected one.i dont just my thoughts.
things you would need that i can think of.
ecu/manifold/fuel pump/injectors/injector box/a butt load of wiring/ect..

or keep that car by your d15, buy the entire harness from a si or dx hatch, and swap everything out. if it was me, i would change entire harness,pump and motor,
Your choice...lol

Well I guess that's what happens when you don't research enough before you buy the car. Maybe I will sell the whole car and get another one. Damn it....

If you have a 91 hatchbackcivic, that looks like it has a carb,check and see if it has two connectors in the front of the "carb"one above the other,mine are color coded, green on one connector, brown on the other.If so, you have a throttle body injecton system, only used for 4 years on hondas. 88-91 was a transition period, from carb to
multi-point injection, and the throttle body was a 4 year stop gap.

Clean it up, sell it, and buy the car that works best to do the mods that you want.
