could anyone tell me how much it would cost to convert my 85 gt to efi. i allready have a newer model to get parts from. will it be worth my while?Also could you give me some links of where to get how to's on this conversion. thanks a lot you guys have been very helpful already.

Its not cost effective to do that. More people go from efi to carb than vice versa, but if you insist then the best thing to do is find a donor car from a salvage yard or something and start plucking parts... from the engine to the gas tank, computer, wiring harness, etc.</P>

Not to mention it's way easier to tune a carb on a highly modified engine than it is to tune the ecu.

and its alot cheaper to modify... u dont have to worry about larger injectors, different maf sensors, recalibrations, etc.

Tell me about it. If I had known I would have bought a nice 4 barrel intake and a sweet carb (and associated parts) instead of injectors, maf, cai, upper/lower intake, throttle body, egr spacer, tweecer, adjustible fuel pressure regulator, etc.

mdvaldosta

and what is the sh!ttiest part is that if you wanna modify it even more, like with a supercharger etc, you will need to get even bigger injectors, a bigger fuel pump, larger throttle body, bigger mass air, and get it recalibrated again... and on top of that Im pretty sure I left some stuff out.

yep find a nice holley air -gap intake and a 600 holley...I secound that I have about a 1000 bucks in the injecters,maf etc...next time I'll put a 780 demon on it for about 400 and ride

Well the injectors should be good stockers max out at ~320hp. I've got 30lb injectors but I don't know what power level they'll max out at. I will need a new maf I'm pretty sure. I'm also using the stock fuel pump (because it's just fine) but yeah, that'll have to get replaced when I get the supercharger.

But there aren't that many people who stick with the EFI for big-power applications so I figure I'm sticking with my somewhat-rare vehicle requirement. (15,000 1st gen 2.5 RS's made total from 98-01, about 6000 were sedans iirc, and Dodge didn't become popular until the redesign in 94)
