Changeing to a fuelinjection system in a -88?

[Elin]

Hi, I have a Toyota corolla -88 with the 1.6litre 16valve engine with the electrionic carburettor.

I have problem with the acceleration when the engine is at working temp. The engine hesitates and dont run well when accelerating under 80km/h, above its ok. Also the engine works fine when its cold.

So what I was thinking of is switching to a fuelinjection system from a -90 corolla. Will it work? What do I need? Anyone done it?

Or do you have a better idea of how to fix the carburettor?

Yeah, I have.
Fuel tank, fuel pump, injectors, wiring, ecu, sensors for water temp, air temp and map.
blockoff plates for the carb fuelpump and egr.

couldn't you run an aftermarket pump for the efi system?

[TwinCamGuy]

you dont need a fuel tank from a fi ae92.Theres already a hole in the tank all you need is the pump and the fuel pump brackets.Your gonna need the fuel lines from the fi ae92.I got fuel lines for $3.00 u.s. from the junkyard.

Ok, so all I need is(for a fi ae92):

1. Fuelpump + brackets + fuellines.
2. Injectors
3. Wiring
4. Ecu -? computerbox, right?, my english ain't that sharp. :/
5. Sensors for water temp, air temp and map. -map??
6. Blockoff plates for the carb fuelpump and egr. -??


How much work is needed to make a change to fi? hours? days?

Yeah you do unless you wanna half ass it. Theres no anti slosh plates inside the tank, which would cause problems during cornering. Another option would put foam in the tank.

Your gonna need the fuel lines from the fi ae92

Carb lines work fine. They're bit small... but I'm gonna change them if I need to.

[freakinbox]

with the fuel lines I would recoment running brand new ones rather then reusing old ones of a junker.

as for the anti slosh plates, might explain my fuel gauge going ALL over all the time...

[Flashmn]

yeah, the fuel gauge moves alot during curves, since the float cant get a proper reading.
Though I dont have a fuel gauge atm, because I have a fuel cell.

[freakinbox]

not so much the corners, maybe because I am not looking at it. Hills are bad and so is braking and acceleration

[Flashmn]

normal.. however, the fuel gauge isnt a precision gauge, so it doesnt matter, its function is rather simple, to give you a clue when to stop for fuel. right now I gotta take a peek in the tank and calculate how long I can drive. I need to somehow put a fuel gauge on it.

[freakinbox]

how tall is the fuel cell??

[Flashmn]

10 inches.

[freakinbox]

you have room to put a 20 inch glass or plastic tube on top of it? or find a stock tank that is 20 inchs deep to take the float and such from.

[Flashmn]

I dont want a glass sight on it, I can take the cap off and look inside.
a bmw or marine application might work.
