Default convert T25 EECIV Escort Cossie to a T34 Weber Marelli ty

Hi!
I'm planning to convert my T25 EECIV(small turbo) Escort Cossie to a T34 Weber Marelli type (big turbo).
Is there anyone who has done this already? .
I could use some tips wheather to use L6, L8 or P8 ECU and engine loom, type for this conversion, and what parts need to be replaced (eg. loom, sensors..?)

regards
Daniel

I haven't done this myself, but i do remember one of the Ford magazines over here having an artcle all about it, showing all the parts you'll need as the process of how to go about doing it.

I'll see if i can find it for you.

Ive found the magazine article.

If you are not in an immediate hurry i could scan it and send it to you.

It'll mean having to find my scanner.

Let me know...

all in all to totally rebuild my engine to low compression, greys, gt28 roller turbo, big wing sump, ported head, cams, etc etc.......the total conversion from my small turbo to this and a few other little bits and bobs like uprated fuel pump, new fuel line, and a few unexpected parts was

Ł8600 cash

it has transformed the car though

ive heard harvey say its about 4000 just for the conversion. so 8600 isnt too bad considering what you are getting!
