Ok a little bout the wiring harness. Most ef 89-91 should bolt right in but & kinda big but the obd ecu from 89-91 efi used low impedance injectors. Most ef also due to the low impedance injectors used a resistor box right at the firewall. High impedance injectors 92-00 & obd 1 or obd2 can use the ecu with vtec. There have been conversion kits for modding the li to hi & obd to obd1 but I don't know if they're still available. If you plan on using the engine harness from an eg or ek but maintain the ef body to ecu harness there will be a lot of work on swapping pins. Oh & you can keep the cable operated clutch if you get a mt from 89-91 ef. Only if you want to go an extra mile to swap over the hydraulic clutch from 92-00, well good luck with that. In addition the mt ef 89-91 has a engine/ transmission mount front cross member that is exactly what you have inside the 88. Only 92 & up moved the transmission mount forward & off to the side.
Where to start. Lol. Great project! Love the project here. The rear LCA's from Hradrace will work, or you must get coilovers specific to the 88. The EK rear trailing arms should bolt up, but you need to use all EF camber arms, tow arms, etc. However, you should also be able to swap over the hub assembly to the existing trailing arms to make the stock trailers disc. The DPFI to MPFI swap is fairly straight forward, but not sure about Dual Carb to MPFI. Probaly similar, but not sure. A possible good resource is in the link in my reply to this comment.
@@hondajack8049 thanks man! Honestly appreciate you pointing that out as I completely missed him saying that and I didn't know they came with carbs in AUS. Learn something new everyday!
@@TURBOTRISTO I can imagine. Going from Carb to EFI is a lot of work. Never done one myself since all the 4th gen Civic's in Canada were EFI. I had a dual carb EF6 CRX from Japan before, but never got around to swapping in EFI.
@@TURBOTRISTO makes sense it’s owned. Didn’t catch that. I’m stuck on doing stage 1 or 2 n/a cam and ITB’s for my fun civic build or turbo with t28 8-10psi. It’s a weekend cruiser or take to work here and there.
@@lucaspaulina9727 I’m a weird fella and would prefer a supercharger for FI. I don’t need/want horse power. Immediate small power/torque is where I’m wanting to be. Track style racing/ auto cross.

Money is close to the same btw for staying obd 2 and diy itbs. Reliable set ups at that.
Hardrace provides several lower control arms for the ef/eg/ek , they should work directly , some control arms , do add a lot of camber to the car. But both should bolt on! Keep up the good work . Greetings from GR
Maxpeeding also do a traction bar kit for these and if you want a rear sway bar da9 and brackets is a good upgrade as well as da9 brake proportioning valve and master and booster
That's the plan! layer on but first we just need to get it running the owner will love it with an extra 40hp just from the swap, but he has mentioned he wants to boost it later on
Now we're talking mate! Best gen of civics the old 4th gen. Let me know if you need help, ive been playing with my ED9 crx for over 10 years so happy to help if i can
I’m pretty sure those DPFI systems run off an ecu right? I did a single carbi to EFI swap in my EG and boy it was a learning experience shout NZ for cheap EGs, had to change all the wiring in the entire car pretty much. But great fun for my first project car. Tristan I know that GARAGE BUILT HONDA has coverd a DPFI to MPFI swap in his videos might be worth a look regarding repining wires. 🙌
You are correct, I have seen their video on that it was very good, this car is strait carby and I have the entire loom and ecu for this car ready to swap in I am hoping it is that simple
Good fun mate, hope it all goes smooth for you. It Is going to make a great video/videos. I wish there was this info out there when I did mine. Had to learn the hard way hahah

@@TURBOTRISTO Yes but looks can be deceiving there's plenty of right ups online on which trailing arms to use on what chassis I have all around Integra trailing arms and front knuckles on my 376whp Turbo EF sedan and have done a few on the EF platform as I have worked on this platform 15 + years
G`Day mate, would love to hang out with you in your garage but just realised that we are quite far apart from each other. Im living in Austria and got that wrong somehow (just kidding)... :-) no roos here...just cows and jodeling... I like your content a lot especially because i own and built a red ek hatch myself with a T3T4 turbo D16y8 in it, its a lot of fun as you know without a daubt. Keep it up and do what you do! Where can i DM you, is there a Insta for TURBOTRISTAN? Greetings from Linz, Austria!

thank you sir, I figured as much I appreciate your help
Aussie isn't dpfi it's dual carb

The rear suspension is right but different models had fork or eyelet set ups.
You will need different shock absorbers the style to match up.
cheers Harry, I have noticed that after looking at a few online, things will be sweet I have no doubt
Need one of these!
I think we all do
good day mr turbo, guys go nuts for this model
They sure do bro
Sweet car! So mint. Wish I were in your area. I would definitely have been down to jump in on this project.
I need all the help I can
Get mate
