Converting a car from carburated to fuel injection

Yes, you are- when you're done doing all the work and expense of converting from carburetion to fuel injection, it will still be a 1988 Hyundai.

air filtre. Take a look in a manual (eg Haynes or Chilton) to see how much has to change. During the 1989 model year the production Ford Festiva was converted to fuel injection. My Haynes manual has photos of both engines. They had to move a lot of things around in the engine compartment, like the battery and water reservoir, to do the converison.

how about the cat, o2's, sensors to determine correct fuel mixture (ect, maf, etc.).

To the two fellows that proveded the useful information, thank you. Rearanging components in the engine compartment isn't a problem. Like a lot of people I do have experience doing some extensive auto repair, I'm just not a professional mechanic (just a hobby) and I've never heard of making this sort of conversion except for some off road trucks. I do have a repair manual for this car and I was just looking for a bit more information in this forum.

If you are approaching this as a hobby, Something to keep you off the streets, I say go for it. Your only return on this job will be the enjoyment of the work, the increase in your skills and the sense of accomplishment you get. The project makes no financial sense, it is a black hole of time and money, but hey that is true of all hobbies.

I did this for my Pantera:

Sad but true. You will end up with a car probably worth less than what you spent on the parts to convert it.
