is it a case of unplug mfi ecu. Plug in ofab/c ecu then plug the engine loom into that side and then jsut connect all the wires to the various bits. what did you have to do?
O and what is that sensor by the gearbox/flywheel???? just bought an frst block and has the whole for it but i want to get the sensor in there now and then can convert to efi when i have all the bits so i dont have to take anything major like engine or box out.

u pretty much got it, replaces mfi loom, the hole in the block is for the crank postion sensor, u will need fiesta flywheel as it has the teeth for the pick up for the sensor

if ur keeping ur escort mfi head then will need to use a mfi to efi inlet adapter plate as i asume you know you use a efi inlet for the conversion, if u decide to use a fezzy head then the efi inlet will fit no probs

does the flywheel have loads of square holes on the inside then one longer rectangle or is that just a normal flywheel?

A FRST flywheel does have the square segments on the back yes

Do you just need the CPS or the adapter for it aswell?

ive used a escort head on mine, the coil pack fits onto a metal bracket then to bracket goes on the head with holes that line up already there 4 u, no drilling required

diff between ofac and ofab r the map sensors, think ofab map senor is better and can handle more boost
