You could alternatively use a trigger wheel and keep your mfi flywheel. You could use the efi inlet but you would either need a conversion plate from efi to mfi to retain the mfi head or just swap the head for an efi one. As for old mfi loom if you want to keep it you could just leave all the connections as they are but if you are doing it properly then the correct way to do it is to cut all the mfi loom wires out and merge the new standalone management loom by the end of it having a nice neat loom. Easier said than done, but a its definitely worth doing it. Granted there's nothing wrong with MFI when maintained correctly but for the amount of hassle you can get when it comes to problems with mfi I would seriously recommend the conversion. Its not a simple conversion but once you get your head around the whole process it is very straightforward.
Thanks Bud,
i was was going to get a complete fiesta RST inlet and head instead of using conversion plate, burton power Weber triger wheel kit, fiesta RST coil pack and leads. I guess my main concern is the wiring, I was hoping there was an aftermarket plug n play system that doesn’t require chopping n changing the old RST loom. if not I was thinking of swapping loom to an xr3i efi loom then a fiesta RST engine loom as I heard it’s a plug and play job with ofac ecu.
The MFI was running perfect tbh but I’ve got a forged bottom end, h rods etc and a stage3 turbo and feel it’s the head and mfi that’s going to stop me seeing 200plus bhp and be reliable.
Which do you think is the easiest option?
