Is it hard to convert from a carb engine to a fuel injection engine?

personally i wouldn't even bother converting. just slap a pair of weber 45mm dcoe carbs on it, a performance cam, and upgrade the exhaust if it was a carbed engine
the 22rte is a lot different from a stock 22r. you would need new forged pistons, new head, turbo, fuel injection system and of course all of the wiring(yech) and ecu that goes with it
if you converted, the smartest way to go would be to buy a whole engine or long block that's set up for a turbocharger

I think the turbos are pretty rare as well.
Kyle, the weber carbs are good carbs then? I looked at them in the smaller configurations when I was going to replace my carb, but was afraid of emissions, and being able to put it in right, with all the vacuum lines coming off the original carb.

Weber's are the best! I have two on my Baja Bug mounted on a Corvair 6 cyl. It flies! 120 h.p. and plenty left on the throttle. They are fairly simple to dial in and synchronize. Not nessacarily plug and play though! Had to add/ remove a few things. Definately worth it though.

i have a 32/36 progressive on my truck, came with it so i don't know how it would compare to a stock 20R carb, but it supposedly gives you the best of both worlds between horsepower and economy. when you're driving normally, only the 32mm primary is open, but when you punch it, the 36mm secondary kicks in. it's nice to be driving down the road at a typical pace then punching the gas and hearing that nice throaty full throttle sound. the carb is louder than my exhaust or my engine in general when i'm idling
my only concern about emissions junk would be if they check all stuff on your engine. i looked at the 20R stock vacuum diagram and it looked like a nightmare compared to the way it looks with a weber. never knew much about that kind of thing, since they don't smog us at all here. i believe the 32/36 is cal exempt
for a typical replacement carb i'd say go with a 32/36, best bang for your buck. if you want more power and mod your engine more, a 38mm synchronous would be better. finally, if you want to really haul ass and have some really nice mid to high rpm horsepower i'd look into a 40 or 45 DCOE setup. i'd love to run those dual side drafts but they get a bit pricey, but it's sure easier and cheaper than going to a turbo setup

i am going to put in a new racing 22rte with turbo with all forged parts. i was just wondering if it would be hard to find the intake pipes? What is better Haltech E6K Engine Management System or a stock 22rte ecu computer?
