Exclamation Carby to EFI

Hey guys,
I have a 1988 ford laser hatch carby model and i am wishing to convert to a EFI. Just wondering if you can put the EFI manifold on carby head or if there is another way to convert to EFI.
Any suggests would be appreciated as i am sick of carby.

Cheers Frosty_ke

Hi mate first question why bother? If it's power you're after you'll gain about 3kW doing it, not worth the effort!

Changing to EFI includes new fuel tank + fuel lines, manifolds etc etc etc

well you have to replace the inlet manifold exhaust manifold
and the wiring loom that has the computer controllers for EFI management
as well as the sensors the air filter box for the air flow meter
tps and ox sensor
you also have to change the dissy and coil
