ok, this is part on topic, part toyota...
as some of you may know, i lost my civic and got an rsx, had to get high risk insurance so to help me out my grandpa gave me an 89 toyota tercel. carberated ugly thing. dropped my ins. from 541 a month to 261 just by having the RSX as a pleasure vehicle. any way, i figure since i have this thing for free, clean and clear i should do somthing to it....it has a very weak engine so i was wondering a couple of things.
1. what all would i have to do to the fuel system to accept a fuel injected engine? im thinking nothing besides connecting fule lines to the fuel rail and that good stuff.
2. (i dont have any measurements or any thing for the engine bay, but) it uses a 1500cc engine like the old d15. so im thinking i may just be able to swap in a d16, have some axels fabed or find some that fit. make the shift linkage work and odviously connect the ecu and the engine harness.
basically im looking for an answer to number 1. and thoughts, comments/suggestions on number two.
not really sure where this would fall under because its not an official project yet, and im mainly only concerned about the engine right now.
thanks hcf

snag a fuel injected 4AGE motor out of a 1st gen MR2 or a 5th gen Corolla(if u can find one) and swap it in there. im not sure if it'll fit but it'd be a better shot than swapping a D16 in there. the 4AGE in my '87 Corolla feels much better than the D16 in my civic.
