1974CJ5 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I have a 85 xj, with 2.5 carbed. (I hate this carb!) I also have a 87 mj 2.5 tbi. I really like the tbi set up. So: is it feasible to convert the xj to tbi like the mj? I know I will need from the intake manifold up. I will need to switch to an electric fuel pump, and I will need to get all the wiring. What else? Or: would it be better to just get a reman carb and put on it? (because the one that it is on it is never happy.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 You will also need the ECU which means swapping the wiring harness as well. After doing that , you will have a more efficient running engine. It's up to you whether it's worth it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1974CJ5 Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 I have not been able to find a write up specific to this project. Does anyone know of one. Cause the carb is the biggest POS I have ever encountered! The choke on it maddening. Thanks for the info, jimoshel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
