Default Can a d15 with a carburetor be changed to fuel injected?

i was just wondering can a carbureted d15 be swapped out for a fuel injected d16 or d15 fuel injected, or could i just swap the head on the carbureted d15 from the fuel injected d15?

You'll need to swap out the fuel tank, pump, and lines... good luck

I don't see why you would need to switch tanks, and upgraded fuel pump might not be a bad idea. I'm sure that you can convert to fuel injection without even pulling the head. You would need a manifold from an injected D15 if it fits, or an injection conversion for the carbureted D15. Either way you're going to need a manifold, injectors, a proper throttle body(ies), and an ecu to match.

check w/ hasport...according to them you would need to basically convert your car to a si...change tanks, lines, wiring harness...it would be cheaper and easier to get a si...

You need a return line. Easiest way is to change gas tanks.
