Hi not long just put a escort rs turbo engine into a mk5 escort xr3i picked the car up a few day's ago from getting wired up and on the way home put the foot down a litte but car would hold back and wouldnt go over 70+mph

Could it be running rich with it still running the xr3i fuel pump? car runs sound and boost's ok till you get upto about the 70+ mph mark then get the boost problems and not wanting to go over 70mph

what boost r u running?

sounds like it could be boost related or a sensor that is retarding the ignition!

 

get it set up or better take it all out and go efi job done

 

Would love to go EFI but cant at the moment have spend so much on the car the last few months

HORNETS7: Err boost Not sure what boost the cars running, Havent had the time to get a boost gauge yet but will be next on list

The car run's spot on under 70/80mph so cant see it been a boost problem but could be wrong?

 

I wouldn't run it on the 3i pump for much longer tbh mate, won't give you the right fuel pressure.

 

Put the car away in the garage for the now as i didnt want to run it with that problem above . On the hunt for a fuel pump at the moment.. what will be the best to get? just a standard rst one?

 

Yeah std will be fine, could go for Grp A if you come across one
