Default Do you have basic tools?

chomama1 If you have some basic knowledge you can do this yourself. Most systems are built to be easy to install. The programming is the pain in the butt. Get a complete FI kit to match the motor. If this motor is not stock you will need to match up injectors to it. Rick L. Ps there is no 100% self learning system. They will get you in the ball park but need to have the timing curve setup, fuel pulse, operation of the motor temp from cold to hot. Some systems have a distributor that has both crank and camshaft sensors in it. It MUST be phased to the motor for correct top end center on #1 cylinder. Some systems have a crankshaft sensor or trigger for top dead center. You will need to use their O2 sensor from the kit. Need to see if the kit has 1 or 2 O2 sensors. Some run on 1. In this case get an A/F meter to reading the motor. IF they offer, get a wide range O2 sensor kit. Power adder kits use them and you can add on a blower, turbos or NOS down the road. I good fuel system setup is needed. A 3/8" min supply line to the injectors and 5/16" return line. You can use a dead head system but IMO I don't like them because of small debrie in the gas will endup in the fuel injector rail and the screens of the injectors causing flow problems over time. Find the best fuel filter. Want a 5 to 10 micron filter. This will help keep clean and catch 98% of debries in the fuel. Good electric fuel fuel with a 30- 80 psi rating. Keep as close to the fuel tank as possible. Most external pumps don't have good suction. There is also a kit for installing a fuel pump in the gas tank. I made my own back in 97. Check with Jegs or summit. Good luck Ps use 10-12 gauge wiring for this and 40 amp relay. Insolate the fuel line if possible with shielding or wrap to keep down the heat and protect the lines from damage. Side note, no rubber if possible. The ethohol eats the rubber over time and makes little black balls that endup in the fuel filter or injectors. Need to keep eye on this after 5 years or change the lines. I when 12 years and the lines came apart in the gas tank. Easy fix. Good luck. Rick L. IMO FI systems are great for all around drivibility of a car. They don't make more power than a carb or a set of webers on a motor. They do self adjust better with driving.
